Garlic Marinated Ribeye w/ Creamy Parmesan Polenta & Blistered Tomatoes
Jump to Recipe
Man, that title is a mouthful. Rightfully so. This dish is big, rich, in your face… and SO delicious. Ben always makes fun of me for my “dinner-lunches” (a lunch that should be eaten for dinner). If you can have breakfast for dinner, you can have dinner for lunch!
This recipe is rich, savory and perfect for spoiling yourself (and maybe someone else!). If you can marinate the steak overnight, even better.
