A good steak never needs something extra to make it stand out. However, sometimes I do have a craving for an extra twang to go with my meat.
We love ribeye steaks. I would say 90{5396afcf7ebcb011d88226d96591fa60d0bb5a6cac0179c8121d60c005c366a8} of the steaks I buy are ribeyes; they just always grill to perfection. I guess I should thank my husband for that.
Anyway, yesterday I had a craving for something to go on top of my meat. I remembered seeing a recipe for a vinaigrette topping ribeyes. I searched my recipes until I found it, Ribeyes with Red Wine-Feta Vinaigrette. It was exactly what I was craving.
Vinaigrette on meat you say? Yes, a million times yes. The vinegar and feta cut through the richness of the steak perfectly, leaving you with this melt in your mouth experience. I loved it. I suspect this would also go well with grilled ahi tuna steaks or pork chops. If you add more oil it would also be perfect in a Greek salad.
Either way, it was a nice little addition to my already perfect steak. The trick is using a high quality oil and vinegar, you will taste the difference.
In a small bowl combine red wine vinegar, extra-virgin olive oil, shallot, parsley, thyme, Worcestershire, honey, lemon juice, salt and pepper.
Stir in feta cheese and let stand at room temperature.
Prepare ribeye steaks in your usual method.
Allow steaks to rest 5 minutes after cooking and spoon vinaigrette over the tops. Yum.
