Ingredients
-
1 boneless ribeye steak (2-inch thick, about 10 oz.)
-
2 tsp Perfeito Beef Seasoning or Perfeito All-Purpose Seasoning
-
1 zucchini
-
½ eggplant
-
2 tbsp butter
-
2 garlic cloves, crushed
-
Fresh thyme sprigs
-
Avocado oil
Instructions:
1. Prep the Steak & Vegetables
-
Season the ribeye on both sides with Perfeito and set aside.
-
Make shallow slits in the eggplant flesh, forming a diamond pattern, and sprinkle with salt.
-
Cut the zucchini in half and sprinkle with salt.
2. Sear the Steak & Vegetables
-
Heat a cast-iron skillet (or heavy-bottomed pan) over medium-high heat.
-
Drizzle with avocado oil and add the steak. Place the zucchini and eggplant cut side down.
-
Sear for about 3 minutes per side for medium-rare. Adjust cooking time to your preference.
3. Add Butter & Aromatics
-
Flip the meat and vegetables. Add half the butter to the pan and the rest on top of the steak.
-
Toss in the crushed garlic cloves and thyme sprigs, allowing them to brown in the butter.
4. Rest & Serve
-
Remove the steak from the pan and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
-
This allows the juices to redistribute, keeping it tender and juicy.
-
Serve with your favorite sauce and enjoy!
