Start with the Balsamic-Roasted Cherry Tomatoes
2 pounds cherry tomatoes
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons olive oil
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1 tablespoon chopped fresh oregano leaves
Prepare the Balsamic-Roasted Cherry Tomatoes
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cherry tomatoes, minced garlic, balsamic vinegar, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Toss everything together until the tomatoes are well coated.
Spread the tomatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet.
Roast in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes or until the tomatoes begin to blister and burst, and the juices are caramelized.
Remove from the oven and sprinkle with chopped fresh oregano. Set aside.
Go with Garlic Roasted Green Beans
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 pound fresh green beans, trimmed
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon thick flakes of freshly ground black pepper (or use regular black pepper)
Prepare the Garlic Roasted Green Beans
In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter.
Add the trimmed green beans and sauté for about 5-7 minutes until they start to become tender and slightly browned.
Season the green beans with onion powder, garlic powder, and freshly ground black pepper. Continue to sauté for an additional 2-3 minutes until they reach your desired level of crispiness. Remove from heat and set aside.
For the Steak
New York strip steaks (or your preferred steak cut)
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 sprigs fresh rosemary
Cook the Steak
Season the steaks generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper on both sides.
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat the olive oil. Add the minced garlic and rosemary sprigs (if using) and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the seasoned steaks to the skillet and cook to your desired level of doneness, typically 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare (adjust cooking time based on your preference).
Remove the steaks from the skillet and let them rest for a few minutes before slicing.
Serve
Slice the rested steaks and arrange them on plates.
Serve the steak alongside the Balsamic-Roasted Cherry Tomatoes and Garlic Roasted Green Beans.
