(from castro15’s recipe box)

Categories: Steak

Ingredients

  • 2 strip steaks
  • Kosher salt and pepper
  • 4 tbsp. oil
  • 6 garlic cloves, in their skins
  • 2 bunches cherry tomatoes on the vine (about 1 1/2 lbs.)
  • 2 sprigs fresh rosemary
  • 2 tbsp. white wine vinegar
  • 1/4 small red onion, finely chopped
  • 3 tbsp. crumbled blue cheese
  • Arugula salad, for serving

Directions

  1. Heat oven to 450. Heat large cast-iron skillet on medium-high. Season steaks with salt and pepper. Add 1 tsp oil to skillet, then add steaks and garlic and cook until steaks are browned, 3 minutes per side.

  2. Place tomatoes on the vine and rosemary in skillet, drizzle with 2 tsp oil and season with salt and pepper. Transfer skillet to oven and roast until steak is at desired doneness and tomatoes begin to slightly break down, 3-4 minutes for medium-rare. Transfer steaks to cutting board and let rest at least 5 minutes before serving. Transfer tomatoes and garlic to platter; squeeze garlic cloves from skins.

  3. In a small bowl, combine vinegar, remaining 3 tbsp. oil and 1/4 tsp each salt and pepper; stir in onion and fold in blue cheese. Serve steak, tomatoes and garlic drizzled with vinaigrette and arugula salad.
