You can see the rub has a lot of spices...most of them you have in the cupboard though!

Sprinkle this mixture of spices on the rib eyes....

balsamic tomato onion salsa....

...and here's the fixins for that balsamic onion and tomato salsa...

The fixins for the tomato and onion salsa don't include the pepper spill in back there, which did not get cleaned up for a couple days.
Dudes, I was BUSY!!! A super busy person can't be trifled with a small pepper spill!
You just throw the cutting board on top of it. Duh.

Okay,
chop up the onions, tomatoes and basil...

Throw the onion in the pan and begin sauteeing with olive oil.

Mmmmmmm,
the onions caramelizing with the aged balsamic vinegar...
smells heavenly.

Gettin' ready to go on top of a grilled rib eye :).

Drizzle olive oil on the chopped tomatoes and spread the spices on all.

Ready to go into the oven....if I had the recipe, I would tell you what temperature but I'M AN IDIOT and can't remember!!!
