Ingredients:
For the Steak:
- 2 ribeye steaks (1 1/2 inches thick)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
For the Broccolini:
- 1 bunch broccolini
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Lemon wedges, for serving
Instructions:
Step 1: Preparing the Steak
1. Season the Steak: Rub the steaks with olive oil, then season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper on both sides. Let the steaks sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes.
2. Prepare the Garlic and Herbs: In a small bowl, combine the minced garlic, chopped rosemary, and thyme.
Step 2: Grilling the Steak
3. Preheat the Grill: Preheat your grill to high heat (around 450°F to 500°F).
4. Sear the Steaks: Place the steaks on the grill and sear for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until a nice crust forms.
5. Add Flavor: Once both sides are seared, reduce the grill heat to medium. Add the garlic and herb mixture to the steaks, and place a small pat of butter on top of each steak.
6. Cook to Desired Doneness: Continue grilling the steaks to your desired doneness. Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature: 125°F for rare, 135°F for medium-rare, 145°F for medium, 150°F for medium-well, and 160°F for well-done.
7. Rest the Steaks: Remove the steaks from the grill and let them rest for 5-10 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
Step 3: Preparing the Broccolini
8. Prepare the Broccolini: While the steaks are resting, prepare the broccolini. In a bowl, toss the broccolini with olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and pepper.
9. Grill the Broccolini: Place the broccolini on the grill and cook for about 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are tender and have a slight char.
Step 4: Serving
10. Slice the Steak: Slice the steaks against the grain into thick slices.
11. Arrange on Platter: Arrange the sliced steak on a serving platter, placing the grilled broccolini in the center for a beautiful presentation.
12. Garnish: Serve with lemon wedges on the side for a fresh, tangy finish.
Tips:
- Resting Time: Allowing the steak to rest after grilling ensures the juices stay in the meat, making it more flavorful and tender.
- Grill Marks: For perfect grill marks, avoid moving the steaks too much while searing.
- Herb Butter: For an extra touch, you can make herb butter by mixing softened butter with garlic, rosemary, and thyme, and melting it over the steak before serving.
Enjoy your deliciously grilled steak with a side of tender, charred broccolini!
