Broiled Tomatoes on the Vine—the absolute best side dish for steak!!

This is my absolute all-time favorite side dish for steak. True, I LOVE creamed spinach and broiled leeks, but summer tomatoes ripened on the vine, broiled with garlic and fresh herbs … sublime. That’s all I can say.

Broiled Tomatoes with Garlic

PREP TIME: 15 minutes | COOK TIME: 10 minutes

Tomatoes, as many or as few as you want
Garlic, whole cloves cut into thirds
Fresh herbs (rosemary or thyme)
Olive oil
Parmesan, grated
Salt and pepper

Peel garlic cloves and cut the large ones into thirds, smaller ones in half. Sauté in olive oil for about 5-6 minute or until browned. Remove from heat and set aside. Place tomatoes on a baking sheet, make a small knife slit in each one (otherwise they’ll explode), drizzle with olive oil, add sprigs of fresh thyme and or rosemary. Add a little shaved parmesan and broil for 5-6 minutes. Add the garlic and serve. Enjoy!!
