Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 2 ribeye steaks
- 1 zucchini, sliced
- 1 bell pepper, sliced
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Begin by preparing the ingredients. Take the ribeye steaks out of the refrigerator and let them sit at room temperature for about 15 minutes to ensure even cooking. While the steaks are resting, wash and slice the zucchini and bell pepper into thin strips. Rinse the cherry tomatoes and set all the vegetables aside.
- In a large bowl, combine the sliced zucchini, bell pepper, and cherry tomatoes. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of olive oil and season with salt and pepper to taste. Toss the vegetables until they are evenly coated with the oil and seasoning.
- Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, place the seasoned vegetables on the grill. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until the vegetables are tender and have nice grill marks. In the last minute of cooking, sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the vegetables, allowing it to melt slightly.
- While the vegetables are grilling, season both sides of the ribeye steaks generously with salt and pepper. Once the vegetables are done, remove them from the grill and set aside, keeping them warm.
- In the same grill or grill pan, add the ribeye steaks. Grill for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or adjust the cooking time to your desired doneness. Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature; it should read 130°F (54°C) for medium-rare.
- Once the steaks are cooked to your liking, remove them from the grill and let them rest for about 5 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring a tender and juicy steak.
- To serve, slice the ribeye steaks against the grain and plate them alongside the Parmesan grilled vegetables. Enjoy your delicious steak with a side of flavorful vegetables!
Tips
- Always let your steaks rest at room temperature before grilling to ensure even cooking.
- Use a meat thermometer for precise doneness - it's a game-changer for perfect steaks every time.
- When grilling vegetables, cut them to similar thickness to guarantee even cooking.
- Don't overcrowd your grill - give each ingredient enough space to develop those beautiful char marks.
- Let your steaks rest after cooking to allow juices to redistribute, keeping the meat tender and flavorful.
- For extra flavor, consider adding fresh herbs like rosemary or thyme to your vegetable mix.
- If you don't have a grill, a heavy cast-iron skillet works wonderfully as an alternative cooking surface.
