Ingredients

• 2 pieces (8 oz each) Ribeye steak (or your preferred cut)
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
• 0.5 medium Red onion
• 2 tablespoons (chopped) Fresh cilantro (or parsley)
• 1 small Jalapeño (optional for heat)
• 1 clove Garlic
• 1 whole Lime
• 1 tablespoon Extra olive oil (for salsa)

Directions

Step 1

Take the steaks out of the refrigerator and let them come to room temperature for about 20-30 minutes before cooking. This ensures even cooking.

Step 2

Season each steak on both sides with salt and black pepper.

Step 3

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet or cast-iron pan over medium-high heat until the oil is shimmering but not smoking.

Step 4

Place the steaks in the hot pan and sear for about 3-4 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or longer if you prefer your steak more well-done. Use a meat thermometer if needed (130°F for medium-rare).

Step 5

Once cooked to your desired doneness, remove the steaks from the pan, place them on a cutting board, and let them rest for at least 5 minutes.

Step 6

While the steak rests, prepare the tomato salsa. Halve the cherry tomatoes, finely dice the red onion, mince the garlic, and optionally seed and finely chop the jalapeño for a spicy kick.

Step 7

In a bowl, combine the cherry tomatoes, red onion, garlic, cilantro, and jalapeño (if using).

Step 8

Squeeze the juice of one lime over the salsa mixture and drizzle with 1 tablespoon of extra olive oil. Season with salt to taste and mix well.

Step 9

Serve the rested steaks on a plate and top them with a generous spoonful of the fresh tomato salsa.

Step 10

Garnish with additional chopped cilantro or lime wedges if desired. Enjoy immediately!
