Mise En Place 🔪
Directions
How to Cook 🍳
Prepare the Steak 🥩
Let the ribeye steak come to room temperature for 30 minutes. Pat dry with paper towels, and season generously with salt and pepper.
Heat a cast-iron skillet over high heat with olive oil until shimmering. Add the steak and sear for 3-4 minutes on each side, creating a nice crust.
Reduce heat to medium. Add butter, smashed garlic cloves, and thyme (or rosemary) to the skillet. Baste the steak by spooning the melted butter over it for 2-3 minutes.
Cook until the steak reaches your desired doneness (130-135°F for medium-rare). Remove from heat and let rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
Prepare the Zucchini 🥒
Line a sheet pan with paper towels. Halve the zucchinis lengthwise and score the cut side in a crosshatch pattern. Arrange cut side up on the prepared pan, sprinkle with salt, and let them rest for 10 minutes to draw out moisture.
In a frying pan, heat 1/4 cup sunflower oil over medium-high heat until shimmering. Lower heat to medium, place the zucchini cut side down, and fry for about 7 minutes until golden and crispy.
Crush a garlic clove and add it to the pan along with thyme. Flip the zucchini, and lower heat to medium-low, cooking until soft, about 5-7 more minutes. Transfer zucchini to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Prepare the Shallots and Yogurt Sauce 🍶
In a small frying pan, heat the remaining 1/2 cup sunflower oil over medium-high heat. Add the shallots and fry, stirring occasionally, until golden and crispy, 4-5 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to transfer shallots to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Finely mince the remaining garlic clove. In a small bowl, mix together the sour cream (or Greek yogurt), minced garlic, and water. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Serve 🍽️
Arrange the fried zucchini on a medium serving platter. Top with the yogurt sauce, crispy shallots, and garnish with fresh mint and basil leaves
