Preparation

1. 1.
   In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, thyme leaves, rosemary leaves, sea salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
2. 2.
   Place the ribeye steaks in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them, ensuring they are evenly coated. Allow the steaks to marinate for at least 30 minutes, or refrigerate overnight for maximum flavor.
3. 3.
   Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
4. 4.
   In the meantime, preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F).
5. 5.
   Toss the potato wedges with melted butter, salt, and pepper. Spread them on a baking sheet and roast for 25-30 minutes, or until golden and crispy.
6. 6.
   Remove the steaks from the marinade and grill them for approximately 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or adjust the cooking time to your desired level of doneness.
7. 7.
   Once cooked, transfer the steaks to a cutting board and let them rest for a few minutes before slicing.
8. 8.
   In a bowl, combine the mixed salad greens with a drizzle of olive oil and a squeeze of lemon juice. Toss gently to coat.

Treat your ingredients with care...

• Ribeye steaks — For the best results, choose ribeye steaks with good marbling, as this will enhance the flavor and tenderness of the meat.
• Fresh herbs — Feel free to experiment with different herbs based on your preference and availability. Gower cuisine often incorporates local herbs such as wild garlic or sorrel.
• Potatoes — You can use any variety of potatoes for the roasted wedges, but waxy potatoes like Yukon Gold or Charlotte work particularly well.

Tips & Tricks

• Allow the steaks to come to room temperature before grilling to ensure even cooking.
• Let the steaks rest after grilling to allow the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful steak.
• Experiment with different herb combinations in the marinade to customize the flavors to your liking.
• For a smokier flavor, consider grilling the potatoes alongside the steaks.
• Serve the steak with a dollop of herb butter for an extra burst of flavor.

Serving advice

Serve the Gower-style grilled ribeye steak as the centerpiece of a delicious meal. Plate the sliced steak alongside the roasted potatoes and herb salad. Drizzle any remaining marinade over the steak for added flavor. Accompany the dish with a crusty baguette or freshly baked bread to soak up the savory juices.

Presentation advice

Arrange the sliced steak on a platter, slightly overlapping the pieces. Place the roasted potato wedges around the steak, creating an attractive border. Garnish the dish with fresh herbs, such as basil or mint, for a pop of color. Serve the herb salad in a separate bowl or arrange it alongside the steak for a vibrant and refreshing touch.
