Dry Rubbed Rib Eye With Mushroom Sauce Recipes

RIBEYE WITH MASHED POTATOES AND MUSHROOM SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Set a wire cooling rack inside a sheet pan.
• Remove the steak from the fridge and bring to room temperature, about 45 minutes.
• Mix together the garlic powder, onion powder, salt and cayenne in a small bowl. Sprinkle the entire steak with the rub on both sides, adding more salt if necessary.
• Add 2 tablespoons olive oil to a large cast-iron skillet and heat over medium high. When the skillet is lightly smoking, sear the steak until well browned, 3 to 4 minutes per side. While searing, use a spoon to baste the steak with the oil from the pan. Turn off the heat and place the garlic halves cut-side down in the skillet and sprinkle the thyme sprigs around the steak. Transfer the skillet to the oven to finish cooking until the internal temperature reaches 135 degrees F when measured with an instant-read thermometer not touching bone, about 8 minutes. Remove the steak and garlic halves to the cooling rack to rest for 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, bring the potatoes and remaining 4 garlic cloves to a boil in a medium pot of heavily salted water. Reduce to a simmer and cook until the potatoes are fork tender, 10 to 12 minutes. Drain the potatoes and return them to the empty pot.
• Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and coat with olive oil. Add the shallots and sweat until soft, about 3 minutes. Add the sliced mushrooms and a pinch of salt. Continue cooking, tossing occasionally to ensure that the mushrooms do not stick to the skillet, until the mushrooms are tender and browned, about 10 minutes. Add the red wine and simmer until reduced by half, about 3 minutes. Stir in the demi-glace and reduce until the mixture is thick, saucy and coats the back of a spoon, about 4 minutes.
• Using an electric hand mixer, beat the potatoes until smooth. Add 2 pats of butter and a splash of the hot heavy cream. Continue mixing. Repeat, adding more butter and cream 2 more times and finishing with a pinch of salt.
• Cut the bone off the steak and slice the meat on the bias, keeping the slices together (reserve the bone). Fan the steak slices on a serving plate and garnish with the bone and the roasted garlic halves. Spoon the mushroom sauce around the edge of the steak and garnish the steak with chives. Serve with a small ramekin of extra sauce. Serve the mashed potatoes in a separate bowl garnished with a small pat of butter and more chives.

DRY-RUBBED RIB-EYE WITH CHILI LOBSTER

Steps:

• For the steak: Preheat a convection oven to 400 degrees F.
• Mix together the salt and brown sugar and the porcini, chile de arbol and garlic powders in a bowl, using your fingers to make sure all the ingredients are evenly distributed. Rub the steak generously on all sides with the spice rub. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap and leave to sit at room temperature for 20 minutes.
• Preheat a cast-iron pan over high heat. When the pan is hot, add enough olive oil to coat the bottom. Unwrap the steak and add it to the pan; cook until well charred on all sides. Remove the steak to a baking sheet, transfer to the oven and roast until medium-rare, about 6 minutes. Allow the steak to rest for 4 to 5 minutes, then cut the steak off the bone and slice it across the grain, on the bias.
• For the chili lobster: Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the coriander, celery, halved garlic head, lemon, thyme, white wine and a good amount of salt.
• Add the lobster and poach for 6 minutes. Remove the lobster to a baking sheet to cool.
• In a large saute pan, add enough oil to coat the bottom. Add the 5 garlic cloves, chili paste and some salt and cook over medium heat until the garlic turns golden brown and the mixture fragrant.
• Pull the claws off the lobster and set aside. Set the body upside down on a cutting board and slice the entire lobster in half lengthwise. Discard the contents inside the head and body cavities, leaving the tail meat intact. Remove the meat from the claws and add it to the garlic-chili sauce; cook just until the meat is warmed through. Remove the meat from the pan and set aside. Place the lobster halves cut-side down in the sauce and sear for 1 to 2 minutes. Remove the lobster to a plate. With the pan off the heat, stir in the parsley.
• In a small bowl mix together the arugula, red onion and a tablespoon of the garlic-chili sauce from the pan. Season with salt and toss to coat.
• Assembly: Place some of the arugula reserved for garnish on one side of a serving platter and lay the sliced steak over it. Pour any meat juices from the baking sheet over the steak. Arrange the lobster halves on the other side of the platter and fill the cavities with some of the arugula salad. Top with the warmed claw meat and pour a couple tablespoons of the garlic-chili sauce over the lobster.
• Drizzle both steak and lobster with big fat finishing oil (extra-virgin olive oil).

DRY-RUBBED RIB-EYE

Steps:

• Combine all of the dry ingredients in a bowl. Use your fingers to make sure that all of the ingredients are evenly distributed. Rub the outside of each steak generously with the rub. Wrap each steak in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 24 hours, 2 to 3 days is better. This will make the steak taste like it has been aged.
• Preheat a gas or charcoal grill. Brush and oil the grill to loosen and remove any crud. Remove the steaks from the refrigerator about 20 to 30 minutes before cooking. Right before cooking remove the plastic wrap and lightly oil the steaks. Place the steaks on a very hot grill to put a char on both sides of the steak. When both sides of the steak have become well charred move the steak to a cooler part of the grill to continue cooking for 6 to 7 minutes per side for medium rare. Remove the steak from the grill and let rest in a warm spot for 7 to 8 minutes. Cut the steak off the bone and slice on the bias across the grain. Drizzle with extra-virgin olive oil and serve immediately.

DRY RUBBED BISON SMOKED RIB-EYE WITH BLACKBERRY SOY BALSAMIC SAUCE, GRILLED BROCCOLI RABE AND GRILLED MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Combine the salt, pepper and garlic powder in a small bowl. Liberally coat the rib-eyes with the seasoning and set aside.
• Set up a smoker on the stove top by adding the wood chips and tea to the bottom of a foil-lined 4-inch hotel pan. Set another piece of foil over top. Set a 2-inch perforated pan over the top and cover with foil. Turn the heat to medium-high and allow the wood chips to smoke for 10 to 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, soak the broccoli rabe in water for 25 to 30 minutes.
• Uncover the pan, then add the rib-eyes. Turn off the heat, cover again with foil and smoke for 5 to 7 minutes. Flip the rib-eyes, cover with foil and let sit for 10 minutes.
• Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Brush the smoked rib-eyes on both sides with olive oil. Place on the grill pan and cook for 5 to 6 minutes for medium-rare, flipping halfway through. Remove from the grill and allow to rest for 10 minutes. Reserve the grill pan.
• Toss the mushrooms with 2 tablespoons olive oil, a pinch of red pepper flakes and salt. Lay the mushrooms cap-side down on the grill pan and cook until charred and soft, 5 to 6 minutes, flipping halfway through. Remove from the grill, slice into strips and set aside. Reserve the grill pan.
• Drain the broccoli rabe and place on the grill pan. Cook until the water has steamed off and the broccoli rabe is charred. Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and red pepper flakes and set aside.
• Place the onions and 2 tablespoons olive oil in a medium saucepan. Season with salt and sweat over medium-high heat until soft and translucent, 5 to 7 minutes. Add the ginger and stir to combine. Add the balsamic vinegar, blackberry preserves, soy sauce and half of the blackberries. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 2 to 3 minutes.
• Add the demiglace, return to a boil and reduce until the sauce is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, 10 to 15 minutes. Stir in the remaining blackberries.
• To serve, remove the bones from the rib-eyes, but reserve for plating. Slice the meat against the grain. Pour any juices on the cutting board into the sauce. Plate the sliced rib-eye alongside the grilled broccoli rabe and mushrooms. Spoon the sauce over the rib-eye and enjoy!
