A meal fit for a sophisticated cowboy. Flavorful and tender rib eye steak is seasoned and seared over a hot charcoal fire.

Ingredients

  • 8 dried California Mission figs
  • 1 bulb garlic
  • 3 Tbs olive oil, divided
  • 1/2 tsp coarse salt
  • 1 tsp coarsely ground black pepper
  • 1 lemon
  • 1 16 oz thick-cut rib eye steak
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 bunch fresh thyme sprigs

Directions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Remove and discard stems from figs, and cut in half, lengthwise; place in large oven proof pan; set aside.
  • Separate garlic into individual unpeeled cloves, and add to pan along with figs, olive oil, salt, and pepper; toss to coat well.
  • Roast at 350°F for about 20 minutes or until garlic cloves are soft and fully cooked. Set aside.
  • Rub steak liberally on all sides with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
  • Prepare a hot charcoal fire and, over hottest part of fire, sear steak on both sides. Then, move steak to a cooler area and finish grilling, slowly, for about 5 minutes on each side for medium rare (145°F internal temperature at thickest part) or 10 minutes on each side for medium (160°F). Remove from grill and allow to rest for 10 to 15 minutes before slicing.
  • To serve, heat 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil in a skillet over medium high heat.
  • Add roasted fig and garlic mixture and carefully shake the skillet. Add thyme sprigs and toss or stir until thyme is fragrant, about 30 seconds. Remove from heat; squeeze juice from lemon over all.
  • Cut steak into thick slices and fan onto serving platter. Spoon fig mixture, along with thyme sprigs and pan juices over steak; drizzle with a little extra virgin olive oil and squeeze lemon juice over all. Serve at once.
