Seared Steak with Creamy Herb Sauce & Roasted Cherry Tomatoes

Ingredients:

For the Steak:
2 (8-ounce) boneless, skinless beef steaks (such as New York strip or ribeye)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
For the Roasted Tomatoes:
1 pint cherry tomatoes
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 clove garlic, minced
1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
Salt and pepper to taste
For the Creamy Herb Sauce:
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup sour cream
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
1 clove garlic, minced
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Roasted Tomatoes:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a bowl, toss the cherry tomatoes with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, and pepper until well coated.
Spread the tomatoes on a baking sheet in a single layer and roast in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until they are blistered and softened.
2. Make the Creamy Herb Sauce:
In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, chopped parsley, minced garlic, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper until smooth. Adjust seasoning to taste and set aside.
3. Prepare the Steak:
While the tomatoes are roasting, season the steaks with olive oil, dried oregano, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper on both sides.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the seasoned steaks and sear for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until they reach your desired doneness. Use a meat thermometer for accuracy (130°F/54°C for medium-rare).
Remove the steaks from the skillet and let them rest for a few minutes before slicing.
4. Serve:
Slice the seared steaks and plate them alongside the roasted cherry tomatoes.
Drizzle the creamy herb sauce over the steak or serve it on the side for dipping.
