Herb's take

Tonight we’re marrying the primal magic of a flame-kissed ribeye with the bright snap of an Italian-inspired fresh tomato salsa. Along the way, you’ll discover why resting meat isn’t just a suggestion and why raw tomatoes and red wine vinegar are a flavor power couple.

Instructions

  1. 01
    Preheat your grill for high direct heat, aiming for around 450°F. If using charcoal, bank the coals to one side to create a hot and a cool zone.
  2. 02
    Pat the ribeye steaks dry with paper towels, then season liberally on both sides with 1 teaspoon kosher salt and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
  3. 03
    In a medium bowl, combine diced tomatoes, red wine vinegar, olive oil, chopped basil, chopped parsley, minced shallot, and minced garlic. Add the remaining 1 teaspoon kosher salt and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Mix well and let sit at room temperature to allow flavors to meld.
  4. 04
    Oil the grill grates lightly. Place the steaks over direct heat and grill for 4 to 5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until they reach your desired doneness. Flip only once for the best crust.
  5. 05
    Transfer the steaks to a plate and let them rest for at least 7 minutes.
  6. 06
    Slice ribeye steaks across the grain into generous strips.
  7. 07
    Spoon the tomato-red wine salsa generously over the sliced steak and scatter any remaining herbs on top. Serve immediately, with extra salsa on the side.
