Ingredients

2 whole T-bone steaks*
3 tablespoons Olive oil
1 teaspoons Dried basil leaves
1/2 teaspoons Garlic powder
1 Loaf French bread
2 tablespoons Grated parmesan

Directions

1
Preheat grill to medium-high heat.
2
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, dried basil, and garlic powder to create the seasoning mixture.

Brush 1 1/2 tablespoons of the basil-garlic oil mixture evenly over the cut sides of the bread.
5
Slice the tomatoes into 3/4-inch thick rounds.
6
Brush the remaining basil-garlic oil mixture onto one side of each tomato slice.

Place the T-bone steaks on the hot grill. Grill for 10 to 14 minutes, turning once, until desired doneness is reached (rare to medium).

Season the steaks with salt and pepper to taste.

About 5 minutes before the steaks are done, place the bread cut-side down on the grill.

Grill the bread and tomatoes for 2 to 3 minutes until the bread is golden brown and the tomatoes are charred on one side.

Flip the bread and tomatoes over.
13
Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the grilled side of the bread.
14
Grill for another 1 to 2 minutes until the cheese melts and the bread is crispy on both sides.

Remove everything from the grill.
16
Slice the French bread diagonally into serving pieces.
17
Carve the steaks into thick slices against the grain.

Note

For best results, let the steaks rest for 5 minutes before slicing to retain their juices.

If you don't have a grill, you can sear the steaks and tomatoes in a cast-iron skillet and toast the bread in the oven or under the broiler.

Substitute fresh basil leaves for the dried basil if available, using about 1 tablespoon of chopped fresh basil instead of 1 teaspoon dried.

Choose firm, ripe tomatoes for grilling to prevent them from falling apart on the grate.
