By myangelsc86

Ingredients

• 4 1-inch-thick beef top loin steaks (New York strip) or rib eye steaks (about 2 pounds)
• 1 clove garlic, halved
• 2 to 3 tsp. peppery steak seasoning
• 2 cups assorted cherry tomatoes and/or other small tomatoes, whole, halved or quartered
• 2 Tbsp. snipped fresh cilantro
• 2 Tbsp. purchased vinaigrette (such as Italian or balsamic)

Preparation

Step 1

1. Trim fat from steaks. Rub steaks with the garlic. Sprinkle both sides of steaks with the steak seasoning.

2. For charcoal grill, grill steak on the rack of uncovered grill directly over medium coals for 10 to 12 minutes for medium-rare (145 degrees F) or for 12 to 15 minutes for medium doneness (160 degrees F). (For gas grill, preheat grill. Reduce heat to medium. Place steak in grill rack over heat. Cover and grill as above.)

3. Meanwhile, in a bowl, toss together the tomatoes, cilantro, and vinaigrette. Serve over grilled steak. Makes 4 to 8 servings.
