Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ribeye steaks (8 oz each)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp fresh rosemary, chopped
  • 1 tsp fresh thyme, chopped
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 4 medium red potatoes, cut into wedges
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 4 cups mixed salad greens

  • 1/4 cup sliced red onions
  • 2 tbsp balsamic vinaigrette dressing

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a bowl, toss potato wedges with 1 tbsp olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 25-30 minutes until golden and tender.
  3. While potatoes roast, prepare the steak crust by mixing garlic, rosemary, thyme, salt, and pepper.
  4. Rub steaks with remaining olive oil and herb mixture on both sides.

  6. Remove steaks from skillet and let rest for 5 minutes.
  7. In a large bowl, combine salad greens, cherry tomatoes, and red onions. Toss with balsamic vinaigrette.
