Instructions
- Season the ribeye with salt and pepper.
- In a hot sauté pan over high heat, add in the oil until it begins to smoke lightly. Add the steak, turn the heat down to medium-high and immediately add in the garlic cloves and butter and sear the steak for 3 to 4 minutes.
- Flip the steak, and cook it for 2 to 3 minutes while basting the top of it using a spoon to help further brown it
- Remove the steaks from the pan and add in the mushrooms andsauté on high heat until well browned, which takes about 4 to 5 minutes. See notes on leftover steak oil.
- Once the mushrooms are brown, scrape them to 1 side of the pan, and on the other side add in the minced garlic, onion, and remaining 1 tablespoon of butter and sauté for 1 to 2 minutes.
- Add the ingredients together and then add in the tomatoes and sun-dried tomatoes and cook for another 1 to 2 minutes. Finish with salt, pepper, and fresh basil.
- Pour the Don Vito sauce over the ribeye and serve.
Notes
- Make-Ahead: Cooked ribeye steak is meant to be eaten as soon as it is done cooking.
- How to Reheat: This recipe does not reheat well, but if you do need to reheat it, then re-sear the steak in a hot pan along with the topping in lightly smoked oil over medium-high heat until warm.
- How to Store: Cover and keep in the refrigerator for 3 days. This recipe will not freeze well.
- If the oil from cooking the steak is too dark and seems burned, discard the oil and add 3 tablespoons of neutral flavored oil or unsalted butter to the pan and heat until smoking before sauteing the mushrooms.
- Some fats I prefer to cook with are olive, ghee, clarified butter, or beef tallow. Do not be limited by these, and please cook with your desired fat or oil.
- I like adding fresh thyme sprigs to the pan while cooking the steak and moving it around in the pan to ensure it is well-browned.
- If you feel like you may have cooked it a bit too long, set it upright when resting it to help heat escape more quickly.
