Porcini Rubbed Rib Eye Recipes

PORCINI-RUBBED BEEF RIB ROAST

Steps:

• Pulse mushrooms, kosher salt, peppercorns, and marjoram in a spice mill or mini food processor until coarsely ground. Pat meat dry, then rub mushroom mixture all over. Transfer to a wire rack set inside a rimmed baking sheet. Let sit at room temperature 1 hour (for even more flavor, chill, uncovered, overnight, then let sit at room temperature 1 hour before roasting).
• Preheat oven to 225°F. Roast meat until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center registers 120°F (for medium-rare), about 4 hours. Tent with foil and let sit at room temperature at least 30 minutes and up to 1 hour.
• Increase oven temperature to 500°F. Remove foil and roast meat until browned and crisp, 5-10 minutes. Immediately transfer to a cutting board. Cut off ribs in 1 piece, then slice into individual ribs. Carve roast into 1/2" slices and arrange on a serving platter along with ribs. Season with sea salt and serve with Horseradish-Yogurt Sauce, if desired.
• Do Ahead
• Rub can be made 1 day ahead; store in an airtight container at room temperature.

RIB-EYE STEAKS WITH PORCINI RUB

Steps:

• For the steaks: Process the mushrooms in a spice grinder until they form a powder; place it in a jar. Process the salt and peppercorns in the same grinder and add it to the mushroom powder. Process the sugar in the grinder and add it to the mushroom mix. Process the garlic and red pepper flakes in the grinder, add it to the mix and shake it all up.
• Place the mixture on a sheet pan and coat all sides of the steaks with the rub.
• Lightly coat a grill pan with olive oil and heat it over medium-high heat. Place the steaks on the hot pan and cook for 7 minutes on each side. Allow the steaks to rest on a platter while you make the salad.
• For the salad: Put the arugula in a bowl and toss with the lemon juice. Slice the steaks crosswise.
• Place the salad on a platter and arrange the sliced steak on top. Sprinkle Oven-Dried Cherry Tomatoes over the steak and drizzle with balsamic vinegar before serving.
• Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.
• Place the tomatoes in a bowl and drizzle with olive oil. Sprinkle with salt, black pepper and pepper flakes, if using. Toss well and place on a sheet pan in a single layer. Place the sheet pan in the oven and roast for 3 hours, tossing occasionally.
