Basil Butter Ribeye Steaks with Charred Cherry Tomatoes
Servings: 2
Ingredients
- 2 Heinen’s CARE Certified bone-in ribeye steaks
- Salt and pepper
- 6 Tbsp. Heinen’s butter
- 2 cups cherry tomatoes
- 1 bunch fresh basil, minced
Instructions
- Generously season the steaks on both sides with salt and fresh cracked pepper.
- In a cast iron or oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat, melt 2 Tbsp. of butter. Once the butter is melted and the pan is hot, add the steaks and sear on both sides for 2 minutes each to create a nice crust and lock in the juices.
- Add the tomatoes to the skillet.
- While the steaks are cooking, combine the other 4 Tbsp. of butter, minced basil and salt.
- Dollop the butter over the steaks while hot and allow it to slowly melt into the steaks. Serve alongside your favorite side dishes, like sautéed spinach or roasted potatoes.
Note: Any cut of steak can be used for this recipe. If you choose to use a different cut, you may have to sear the steak and transfer the pan to the oven at 425°F to finish cooking. Thick-cut filets will take 10-12 minutes to achieve a medium-rare cook after seared for 2-3 minutes on each side.
