Method
Sous Vide the Ribeye
- 1
Preheat your sous vide water bath to 129°F for medium-rare (or 135°F for medium).
- 2
Season the ribeye steaks generously on all sides with salt and cracked black pepper.
- 3
Place each steak in a vacuum seal bag with 2 sprigs of thyme, a smashed garlic clove, and 15g of butter. Seal the bags.
- 4
Cook in the water bath for 1.5 hours (up to 4 hours is fine for this thickness).
- 5
Once done, remove steaks from the bags and pat completely dry with paper towel. This is crucial for a good sear.
Make the Salsa Verde
- 1
While the steaks are cooking, combine the parsley, basil, capers, anchovies, and garlic in a food processor or use a mortar and pestle.
- 2
Pulse until roughly chopped, then add the Dijon mustard, red wine vinegar, and olive oil.
- 3
Blitz or pound to a loose, textured sauce — don't make it too smooth, you want some body. Season with salt to taste.
- 4
Set aside at room temperature. The flavour improves as it sits.
Air Fryer Broccolini
- 1
Preheat the air fryer to 392°F.
- 2
Toss the broccolini with olive oil, sliced garlic, chilli flakes, salt and pepper until well coated.
- 3
Arrange in a single layer in the air fryer basket — cook in batches if needed.
- 4
Air fry for 7–9 minutes, shaking halfway, until the florets are crispy and the stems are tender with some char on the edges.
- 5
Squeeze over lemon juice immediately after removing from the air fryer.
Sear the Steaks & Serve
- 1
Heat a cast iron skillet or heavy-based pan over the highest heat possible until smoking hot. Add a thin layer of neutral oil.
- 2
Sear the dried steaks for 60–90 seconds per side until a deep, caramelised crust forms. Sear the edges and fat cap as well.
- 3
Rest the steaks for 3–4 minutes on a wire rack — don't tent them, you'll soften the crust.
- 4
Slice the ribeye against the grain or serve whole. Plate alongside the air fryer broccolini and spoon the salsa verde generously over the steak and greens.
