Braai-Rubbed Ribeyes with Tomato Salad

Serves 3 to 4

Ribeyes: 

• 2 (1 inch thick) boneless beef ribeyes (about 1 1/2 pounds total) 
• Kosher salt 
• 2 tablespoons Braai Spice Mix 
• Extra-virgin olive oil, for brushing 

Tomato Salad: 

• 3 large tomatoes, cut into 1-inch wedges 
• 1 cup mixed color cherry or grape tomatoes, halved 
• 1/4 cup coarsely chopped fresh Italian parsley or cilantro 
• 3 scallions, finely sliced 
• 2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh ginger 
• Juice of 2 limes 
• 2 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil 
• Kosher salt

1. For the ribeyes, seat the steaks on a plate and season all over with 1 teaspoon kosher salt. Rub  the Braai Spice Mix on both sides of the steaks, Let sit at room temperature for 15 to 20  minutes. 
2. Preheat a large cast iron skillet to medium-high heat. Brush lightly with olive oil. Set the steaks  in the skillet and cook on the underside until well browned, about 2 minutes. Flip the steaks and  cook until seared on the second side, about 2 minutes more. Reduce the heat to medium and  continue to cook until done to your liking, about 2 minutes more for medium rare. Remove to a  cutting board and let rest 10 minutes. 
3. For the tomato salad, combine the tomatoes, parsley or cilantro, scallions and ginger in a  medium bowl and toss to combine. Drizzle with the lime juice and olive oil and season with 1/2  teaspoon salt. Toss well. 
4. Thinly slice the steak against the grain. Serve with the tomato salad alongside.
