Grilled Rib Eye Steaks And Tomatoes With Mint Thai Basil Slather And 8 Spiced Home Fries Food

GRILLED RIB EYE STEAKS

Steps:

• In a large resealable plastic bag, combine the first 7 ingredients.
• Add the steaks.
• Seal the bag and turn to coat; refrigerate for 8 hours or overnight.
• Drain and discard marinade.
• Grill steaks, uncovered, over medium-hot heat for 8-10 minutes or desired doneness.

GRILLED RIB EYE STEAKS

Steps:

• Let steaks stand at room temperature 15 to 20 minutes. Rub steaks evenly with steak seasoning (I use McCormick Grill Mates Montreal Steak Seasoning).
• Grill, covered with grill lid, over medium heat (300 to 350) for 2 1/2 minutes. Using tongs, turn each steak at a 60-degree angle, and grill 2 1/2 minutes more. Flip steaks, and grill 2 1/2 minutes. Turn steaks at a 60-degree angle, and grill 2 1/2 more minutes (medium-rare) or to desired degree of doneness.
• Remove steaks from grill, and brush evenly with butter. Let stand 5 minutes.
• (If you want rare steaks, adjust the time to 2 minutes in the above directions; for medium doneness, grill 4 minutes each turn; and for medium-well, allow about 5 minutes each turn).

RIB-EYE STEAKS WITH BASIL BUTTER AND SLICED TOMATOES

Steps:

• Pulse butter, shallot, garlic, 1/2 teaspoon salt and pepper in a food processor until smooth. Scrape down the sides of the bowl, add basil, and pulse until well incorporated and smooth.
• DO AHEAD: Butter mixture can be prepared up to 4 days in advance. Allow to come to room temperature before cooking the steak. NOTE: You will have extra butter...perfect for more steaks, hamburgers, chicken, eggs, and more.
• Preheat oven to 350°. Preheat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Season steaks with a 5-finger pinch of salt on all sides. Sear until steaks are well browned and beginning to char around edges, about 5 minutes. Flip and repeat on the other side. Transfer to oven and cook until an instant-read thermometer inserted into thickest part of steaks registers 120° for medium-rare. Transfer steaks to a cutting board to rest and tent with foil. Meanwhile, drizzle bread with olive oil on both sides and grill until golden brown on both sides. (The grilled bread also tastes great with basil butter!)
• Slice tomatoes and arrange on a platter. Sprinkle lightly with salt. Arrange sliced steak on top of tomatoes. Spread steak generously with basil butter and serve with grilled bread.
• Heirloom tomatoes and the herb butter pair perfectly with the rich and full-bodied Cabernet Sauvignon from Tom Gore Vineyards.
