Ingredients

  • 4 Ontario Tomatoes, sliced
  • 8 Ontario Bocconcini Cheese, about 200g
  • 1/4 cup (50 mL) vegetable or olive oil
  • 1 tbsp (15 mL) balsamic vinegar
  • 1/4 cup (50 mL) fresh Ontario Basil, thinly sliced
  • 3 Ontario Boneless Rib Eye Grilling Steaks, each about 125 g
  • Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
  • 4 cups (1 L) Ontario Baby Arugula Leaves

Instructions

Arrange tomatoes and cheese on large platter. Whisk 3 tbsp (45 mL) oil with vinegar; pour evenly over top.  Scatter with half of the basil.

Season steaks with salt and pepper to taste. In large skillet, heat remaining oil until sizzling; cook steaks until medium-rare, about 5 minutes per side. Remove to a cutting board; tent with foil and let stand for 5 minutes before thinly slicing.

Divide arugula among 4 plates; arrange sliced tomatoes and 2 cheese balls beside arugula. Top arugula with beef slices. Sprinkle with remaining basil.
