Tagliata Di Manzo With Smoked Eggplant And Mint

Method

1. Cut the ribeye steak into thick slices and heat a griddle or pan with a drizzle of oil.
2. Add garlic cloves and rosemary sprigs to the pan, then sear the meat to caramelize the sugars (Maillard reaction).
3. Add a few cherry tomatoes for garnish and transfer everything to the oven to finish cooking (the exact time depends on the desired doneness).
4. For the eggplant: take leftover cooked eggplant (e.g., from parmigiana), place it in a baking dish with a drizzle of oil, salt, and fresh mint, then broil until lightly charred and smoky.
5. Let the steak rest, then slice and serve with the eggplant and tomatoes.
