Rib Eye Steaks With Grilled Fresh Sage Tomatoes Recipes

GRILLED FRESH OPIHI LIMPET

Steps:

• This is a Hawaiian delicacy! It's a good recipe for fresh oysters. Mix chiles, vinegar, water, garlic and sea salt together. Marinate oysters for about 15 minutes before grilling.
• While grilling add butter, soy sauce and cayenne pepper or Hawaiian chili pepper.

GRILLED RIB EYE STEAKS AND TOMATOES WITH MINT-THAI BASIL SLATHER AND 8 SPICED HOME FRIES

Steps:

• Prepare a hot, clean, oiled grill. In a saucepan, heat the oil on medium heat. Add the garlic and ginger and fry briefly. Add the herbs and zest. Pull off of the heat. Dissolve sugar with lemon juice and mix in mustard. Whisk in with herb mix. Season the steaks and tomatoes and grill on both sides, about 8 to 10 minutes, (tomatoes will take about 5 minutes). Slather the steak and tomatoes with the herb mixture frequently. Let steaks rest 5 minutes before serving.
• Prepare a fryer on medium-high heat. Drain potatoes well and pat dry. Blanch the potatoes in the oil until lightly colored. Set aside, un-seasoned, on paper towels. Mix all the spices and salt together. Raise the oil temperature to high and fry the potatoes again until golden, brown and delicious. Season with salt immediately.
• Note: There will be leftover seasoned salt. Store in air-tight container and use it on any grilled items.
• PLATING On large plates, lay a bed of salad. Place a mound of fries and lean steak against it. Garnish with tomato half and mint/basil sprigs.

SEARED RIB EYE STEAK WITH TOMATO-CAPER RELISH

Steps:

• Place 1/4 teaspoon coarse salt and garlic on work surface. Using flat side of knife blade, smash garlic and salt together until paste forms. Transfer garlic paste to medium bowl. Add orange and yellow tomatoes, olives, cilantro, 3 tablespoons olive oil, capers, lime juice, chopped jalapeño chiles, and dried oregano; toss relish to blend well. Season relish to taste with salt and pepper. DO AHEAD: Can be prepared 1 hour ahead. Let stand at room temperature.
• Sprinkle steaks on both sides with cumin, 3/4 teaspoon pepper, and 2 teaspoons coarse salt. Heat remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in heavy large skillet over high heat until very hot, about 2 minutes. Add steaks. Sear steaks until browned and cooked to medium-rare, 6 to 7 minutes per side. Transfer steaks to cutting board and let rest 10 minutes.
• Thinly slice steaks crosswise. Overlap slices on plates. Serve with relish.

SAGE AND GARLIC GRILLED TOMATOES

Steps:

• 1. Brush the tomato halves all over with olive oil. Season them generously all over with salt and pepper, then sprinkle the garlic and chopped sage over them. Press a whole sage leaf in the center of the cut side of each tomato half. Set any leftover olive oil aside.
• 2. Cook the tomatoes, following the instructions below for any of the grills, until nicely browned.
• 3. Transfer the tomatoes to a platter or plates and drizzle any remaining olive oil over them. Serve at once.
• Variations:
• •This recipe calls for fresh sage because I like its earthy flavor and I also like the way the whole leaves look when grilled into the tomato halves. If you don't like or can't find sage, you can achieve a similar effect with small sprigs of fresh rosemary, tarragon, thyme, flat-leaf parsley, or another herb.
• • You can also grill small whole plum tomatoes this way. Skewer the sage leaves onto the tomatoes with wooden toothpicks.
• CONTACT GRILL:
• Preheat the grill; if your contact grill has a temperature control, preheat the grill to high. Place the drip pan under the front of the grill. When ready to cook, lightly oil the grill surface. Arrange the tomato halves on the hot grill, cut side up, then close the lid. The tomatoes will be done after cooking 4 to 6 minutes.
• GRILL PAN:
• Place the grill pan on the stove and preheat it to medium-high over medium heat. When the grill pan is hot a drop of water will skitter in the pan. When ready to cook, lightly oil the ridges of the grill pan. Arrange the tomato halves, cut side down, in the hot grill pan on a diagonal to the ridges. The tomatoes will be done after cooking 4 to 6 minutes per side. Rotate the tomatoes a quarter turn after grilling 2 minutes on the first side to create a handsome crosshatch of grill marks.
• BUILT-IN GRILL:
• Preheat the grill to high, then, if it does not have a nonstick surface, brush and oil the grill grate. Arrange the tomato halves, cut side down, on the hot grate on a diagonal to the ridges. The tomatoes will be done after cooking 4 to 6 minutes per side. Rotate the tomatoes a quarter turn after grilling 2 minutes on the first side to create a handsome crosshatch of grill marks.
• FREESTANDING GRILL:
• Preheat the grill to high; there's no need to oil the grate. Arrange the tomato halves, cut side down, on the hot grate on a diagonal to the ridges. The tomatoes will be done after cooking 5 to 7 minutes per side. Rotate the tomatoes a quarter turn after grilling 2 minutes on the first side to create a handsome crosshatch of grill marks.
• FIREPLACE GRILL:
• Rake red hot embers under the gridiron and preheat it for 3 to 5 minutes; you want a hot, 2 to 3 Mississippi fire. When ready to cook, brush and oil the gridiron. Arrange the tomato halves, cut side down, on the hot grate on a diagonal to the ridges. The tomatoes will be done after cooking 4 to 6 minutes per side. Rotate the tomatoes a quarter turn after grilling 2 minutes on the first side to create a handsome crosshatch of grill marks.

RIB-EYE STEAKS WITH BASIL BUTTER AND SLICED TOMATOES

Steps:

• Pulse butter, shallot, garlic, 1/2 teaspoon salt and pepper in a food processor until smooth. Scrape down the sides of the bowl, add basil, and pulse until well incorporated and smooth.
• DO AHEAD: Butter mixture can be prepared up to 4 days in advance. Allow to come to room temperature before cooking the steak. NOTE: You will have extra butter...perfect for more steaks, hamburgers, chicken, eggs, and more.
• Preheat oven to 350°. Preheat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Season steaks with a 5-finger pinch of salt on all sides. Sear until steaks are well browned and beginning to char around edges, about 5 minutes. Flip and repeat on the other side. Transfer to oven and cook until an instant-read thermometer inserted into thickest part of steaks registers 120° for medium-rare. Transfer steaks to a cutting board to rest and tent with foil. Meanwhile, drizzle bread with olive oil on both sides and grill until golden brown on both sides. (The grilled bread also tastes great with basil butter!)
• Slice tomatoes and arrange on a platter. Sprinkle lightly with salt. Arrange sliced steak on top of tomatoes. Spread steak generously with basil butter and serve with grilled bread.
• Heirloom tomatoes and the herb butter pair perfectly with the rich and full-bodied Cabernet Sauvignon from Tom Gore Vineyards.
