Drummond Grilled Rib Eyes Recipes

RIB EYE STEAKS WITH COWBOY BUTTER

Steps:

• For the cowboy butter: Well in advance, make the cowboy butter. Place the softened butter in the bowl of a mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. Whip the butter until it's fluffy. Add the parsley, red pepper flakes, black pepper, garlic, lemon zest and the juice of half the lemon. Mix it until it's totally combined, scraping the sides as needed. Add more parsley, more lemon juice, more pepper or salt if you'd like.
• Lay out a long piece of plastic wrap and scoop the butter mixture in a long strip down the middle of it. Carefully pull one side of the plastic wrap over the butter, squeezing it gently to form it into a log. Continue to roll the log of butter into a roll. When it's all rolled up, twist the ends (like a piece of candy) until they become very taut (this means the butter is pressing together inside the plastic to form a cohesive roll). Place the roll of butter into the fridge so it will harden, or into the freezer if you need to speed along the process.
• For the steaks: Preheat the oven to 475 degrees F. Sprinkle salt and pepper on both sides of the steaks.
• Melt the butter in a heavy ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. When it's melted and golden brown, sear the steaks for about 45 seconds per side. Set in the oven to finish, about 3 minutes.
• Lay a thick slice of cowboy butter on top of each steak so it will begin to melt. Serve within 5 minutes.

LEMON-PEPPER GRILLED RIB-EYES

Steps:

• For the lemon-pepper seasoning: Stir together the pepper, salt, lemon zest, garlic powder, mustard powder, onion powder and sugar in a small bowl.
• For the steaks: Preheat a grill to medium high. Season the steaks lightly with salt and rub the lemon-pepper seasoning on both sides. Brush the steaks liberally with the melted butter
• Grill the steaks 1 minute 45 seconds, then rotate the steaks 90 degrees. Cook 2 minutes, then go ahead and flip the steak over to the other side. After 1 minute 45 seconds on the second side, rotate 90 degrees and finish cooking for 2 minutes, or until the steaks reach 115˚ to 120˚ on an instant-read thermometer (the steak will continue to cook slightly after you've removed it from the grill). This is medium rare- my favorite. Remember, you can always throw a steak back on the grill if it's too red for your taste but you can't undo it if it's overcooked!

DRY AGED RIB-EYES

Steps:

• Make space in back of refrigerator for 7 to 10 days at a steady temperature of 38 degrees F.
• Remove roast from packaging and rinse well. Pat completely dry, wrap with 3 layers of cheesecloth. Place on a rack fitted inside a sheet pan in back of the refrigerator, fat side up. After 24 hours, remove, unwrap, discard cheesecloth and wrap with a fresh piece. Place back in the refrigerator for 6 to 9 days undisturbed. Make sure to check your refrigerator for temperature accuracy prior to dry aging. Keep in bottom/back of refrigerator and if possible, a refrigerator that doesn't get opened often.
• Remove roast from refrigerator. Remove cheesecloth, cut away the fat and trim the ends and any discolored parts of roast.
• Preheat a grill to medium-high heat.
• Slice roast into 6 (1 1/2-inch thick) steaks. Season with salt and freshly cracked pepper. Cook steaks for 4 minutes on first side, turn and cook 3 minutes more. Transfer to a serving platter. Top with Horseradish Gremolata and let rest 5 minutes.
• In a medium bowl, whisk butter with garlic, horseradish, vinegar, zest and salt. Stir in the parsley.

RIB-EYE QUESADILLAS

Steps:

• For the steak and marinade: Add the orange juice, soy sauce, cumin, salt, garlic, lemon juice, chipotle, 1/2 cup of the olive oil and some black pepper to a food processor and blend until smooth and combined.
• Put the steaks into a resealable plastic bag and pour the marinade over. Seal the bag and massage the marinade into the steaks to ensure they are totally coated. Marinate, refrigerated, for as long as it takes to roast the chiles and get the other ingredients ready for the quesadillas.
• For the roasted poblano chiles: Roast the chiles by using metal tongs to hold them one-by-one over the flame of your stovetop until the skin is totally charred. (If you don't have a gas stove, you can use an outdoor grill OR place them on a baking sheet directly under your oven's broiler.) When totally blackened, place the chiles in a large resealable plastic bag and seal the bag to allow them to sweat for a good 20 minutes. Then use a knife to scrape off most of the blackened skin. Slice the chiles in half lengthwise and scrape out the seeds and membranes, then slice into strips.
• Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil in a grill pan over high heat. Remove the steaks from the marinade and turn the heat to medium low. Grill for 5 to 6 minutes each side for medium rare. Let the steaks rest for 5 minutes, then slice.
• For the quesadillas: Build the quesadillas by laying some cheese on 6 of the tortillas, then some slices of steak and some of the poblano chile strips. Sprinkle with the tomato and onion. Top with a little more grated cheese and then place the remaining tortillas on top.
• Melt 1/2 tablespoon of butter in a clean skillet over medium heat and lay a quesadilla in the skillet. Cook until golden on the bottom, 3 to 4 minutes. Carefully flip the quesadilla to the other side, adding another 1/2 tablespoon butter to the skillet at the same time. Continue cooking until the second side is golden, 3 to 4 minutes. Repeat with the remaining quesadillas.
• To serve: Cut the quesadillas into wedges and top with pico de gallo and salsa if desired.

GRILLED RIBEYE

Steps:

• At LongHorn Steakhouse, we recommend a char-grill for bone-in steak like our Outlaw Ribeye®. If grilling outdoors, clean and spray oil your grill, heat to 550 degrees F. If grilling indoors, preheat saute pan or indoor grill to high heat. Season ribeye steaks with salt, pepper, granulated onion powder and granulated garlic powder. Place seasoned steaks on grill. Grill to your desired degree of doneness. Make quarter turns to get diamond marks. Remove steaks from grill. Plate each steak and enjoy! Degrees of Doneness: Rare: 95-105 degrees. Cool red center. Medium Rare: 115-125 degrees. Warm red center with a hint of pink. Medium: 130-140 degrees. Warm pink center. Medium Well: 150-160 degrees. Some pink in the center. Well: 165-175 degrees. No pink, cooked all the way through.

SEARED RIB EYE BAHN MI

Steps:

• For the quick-pickled vegetables: Bring the rice vinegar, sugar, chile paste and 1/2 cup water to a boil in a small saucepan. Combine the radishes and carrots in a small bowl and pour the pickling liquid over the top. Set aside and allow to cool and pickle while you prepare the remaining ingredients, at least 20 minutes or up to 1 hour.
• For the rib-eye steak: Heat the olive oil in a large heavy-bottomed skillet over medium to medium-high heat. Sprinkle the steak on all sides with the salt and pepper. Place the steak in the skillet and cook until it reaches the desired temperature, about 4 minutes per side for a perfect medium-rare. Meanwhile, mix the butter and soy sauce together in a small bowl. Remove the steak to a plate and immediately spread the soy butter over the top. Let the steak rest and the butter melt into the steak, 5 to 7 minutes.
• For the spicy mayonnaise: Mix together the mayonnaise, chile paste and sesame oil in a small bowl until completely combined. Set aside.
• To assemble: Using a sharp knife, split the baguette through the middle. Spread the top and bottom with the spicy mayonnaise. Thinly slice the steak and shingle it on the bottom of the bread. Drain the pickled carrots and radishes and place on top of the steak. Finish with the cucumber ribbons and cilantro. Cut the sandwich into thirds or fourths and serve.

GRILLED BONE-IN RIBEYE WITH HOMEMADE HERB BRUSH

Steps:

• Preheat the grill to medium-high (400 degrees F) and prepare half for indirect grilling. Remove the steaks from the refrigerator, pat them dry and let them sit at room temperature for 30 minutes before grilling.
• To make the herb brush: Starting with the basil, gather the herbs and work around the tip of an 8-inch-long metal skewer. Tie them tightly to the skewer with kitchen twine. Trim the ends of the kitchen twine so there are no long ends. Set aside until ready to grill.
• After the steaks have sat out for 30 minutes, brush both sides with the vegetable oil and season generously with salt and pepper. Transfer the meat to the hot side of the grill for 4 minutes. While the steak is grilling, melt the butter in a small cast iron skillet or saucepan on the grill. Flip the steaks after 4 minutes and baste with the butter, using the herb brush. Grill the steak for an additional 4 minutes.
• Transfer the steaks to the indirect heat side of the grill and baste with the butter and herb brush once again, being sure to leave about 2 tablespoons of the butter in the skillet and remove from the grill. Cook the steaks, undisturbed, over indirect heat until they register 125 to 130 degrees F with an instant read thermometer for medium-rare.
• In the meantime, finely chop the garlic on a large wood cutting board with a juice groove. Season the garlic with 1/2 teaspoon salt. Use the flat side of your knife to mash the garlic and salt together to create a paste. Pour the remaining butter from the skillet onto the cutting board. Use a fork to spread the mixture on the surface area of the board. Cut the kitchen twine from the herb brush and lay the herbs on top of the garlic mixture. Remove the steaks from the grill and rest them on top of the herbs and garlic mixture for 10 minutes before slicing.
• After 10 minutes, remove the bone from the steaks and slice against the grain. Place the meat on the herbs and serve directly from the seasoned cutting board.

GRILLED BONE-IN RIB-EYE STEAKS WITH BLUE CHEESE

Steps:

• Season steaks with salt and pepper at least 30 minutes and up to 1 hour before you plan to cook them. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and let stand at room temperature.
• Heat grill to high. If using a charcoal grill, mound coals to one side, allowing for an area of indirect heat. If using a gas grill, turn on only a few of the burners and leave the rest off for indirect heat.
• Lightly oil steaks. Place on the hottest part of the grill. Cook, covered, until they develop a golden-brown crust, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Move steaks to indirect heat and crumble cheese over the top; cover and continue cooking 2 to 5 minutes longer, depending on desired doneness. (Pull the meat at 125 degrees for rare.)
• Transfer steaks to a cutting board to rest, loosely covered with foil, for 10 minutes. While steaks rest, stir together butter, chives and hot sauce. Pour over steak before serving.
