I love a great ribeye steak, and I love it most when paired with lighter, brighter ingredients to help balance out how rich and savory the meat is. Whether it's with lemon, herbs, or with the salad situation in this recipe, I think it's a great way to highlight the flavors of steak. In this recipe, the ribeye gets placed on a bed of arugula and roasted peppers, topped with shavings of Parmigiano Reggiano, and drizzled with a sweet and tangy balsamic vinaigrette. All together, the balance of flavors is absolutely delicious!

This salad would go wonderfully with some crusty bread, and in late spring and summer, there's nothing better than Pane Pomodoro.

Instructions

In a large saute pan, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil. Season steaks with salt and pepper. When pan starts to smoke, carefully add steaks. Allow the steaks to cook for about 3 to 4 minutes on 1 side, without moving or piercing the meat. This will help create a good, crusty sear. When steaks are brown, flip and sear the other side for 3 to 4 minutes. Remove meat to a large plate and allow to rest for 10 minutes.
Decoratively line a large platter with arugula. Tear the roasted peppers into large pieces and scatter over the arugula. In a small bowl, whisk in the remaining olive oil, balsamic vinegar and any meat juices that may have collected on the plate from the steaks. Season with salt and pepper.
Slice the steaks across the grain and on a bias into 1 1/2-inch thick pieces. Lay the slices on top of the salad and drizzle with dressing. Using a vegetable peeler, shave roughly 1/2 cup fresh Parmigiano over the dish.

This was such an unexpectedly yummy way to eat steak! The combination of all the salad ingredients + lots of parm and balsamic vinegar was just such a delicious flavor bomb.
