Ingredients

• 2 ribeye steaks (1-inch thick)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, chopped
• 1 teaspoon fresh thyme, chopped
• 1 cup asparagus, trimmed
• 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
• 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 1 lemon, cut into wedges
• 1 cup mashed potatoes (prepared)
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

1. Remove the steaks from the refrigerator and let them rest at room temperature for 30 minutes.
2. Preheat your grill or skillet over medium-high heat. In a small bowl, mix olive oil, garlic, salt, pepper, rosemary, and thyme.
3. Rub the mixture generously on both sides of the steaks.
4. Place the steaks on the grill or skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until your desired doneness is reached.
5. While the steaks are cooking, toss the asparagus and cherry tomatoes with balsamic vinegar, salt, and pepper. Add them to the grill or skillet for the last 5 minutes of cooking.
6. Once the steaks are cooked, remove them from heat and let them rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
7. Add butter to the vegetables on the grill, allowing it to melt and coat the asparagus and tomatoes.
8. Serve the steaks with a side of mashed potatoes topped with Parmesan cheese, grilled vegetables, and lemon wedges.
