Ribeye Steak Recipe – Don Vito Style

Ingredients

• 16-18 oz bone-in ribeye
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 3 tbsp unsalted butter, divided
• 4 to 6 garlic cloves, whole
• 2 cloves garlic, finely minced
• 1 cup sliced cremini mushrooms
• 1 cup sliced button mushrooms
• 1 cup sliced shiitake mushrooms
• 1/4 cup peeled and small diced yellow onion
• 2 vine-ripe tomatoes, sliced into wedges
• 1/4 cup julienned sun-dried tomatoes
• 1 tbsp chiffonade fresh basil
• Sea salt to taste
• Fresh cracked pepper to taste

Instructions

1. Season the ribeye generously with salt and pepper.
2. Heat a sauté pan over high heat and add the oil until it begins to smoke lightly. Add the steak, reduce heat to medium-high, and immediately add the whole garlic cloves and 2 tablespoons of butter. Sear the steak for 3 to 4 minutes.
3. Flip the steak and cook for 2 to 3 minutes while basting the top with the pan juices using a spoon to help further brown it.
4. Remove the steak from the pan and set aside to rest. Add the mushrooms to the pan and sauté on high heat until well browned, about 4 to 5 minutes.
5. Once the mushrooms are browned, scrape them to one side of the pan. On the other side, add the minced garlic, onion, and remaining 1 tablespoon of butter. Sauté for 1 to 2 minutes.
6. Combine the mushrooms with the garlic and onion, then add the tomato wedges and sun-dried tomatoes. Cook for another 1 to 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, and finish with fresh basil.
7. Pour the Don Vito sauce over the ribeye and serve immediately.
