Rib Eye With Jalapeno Butter Recipes

BONELESS RIB EYE AND RED BEAN CHILI WITH JALAPENO CORNBREAD CRUMBLES

Steps:

• For the jalapeno cornbread crumbles: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F and grease a 12- by-10-inch pan with butter. Set aside.
• Combine the cornmeal, flour, both sugars, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a bowl, then whisk and set aside. In another bowl, combine the eggs, buttermilk, honey and melted butter. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add the wet ingredients; mix until combined. Fold in the jalapenos. Pour into the greased pan, then smooth with a spatula and bake, 10 minutes. Rotate the pan and continue to bake until risen and golden brown, 10 to 20 minutes more. Set aside to cool.
• For the rib eye and red bean chili: Meanwhile, cut the rib eye into medium dice and add to a large bowl. Sprinkle with salt, pepper and 2 teaspoons garlic salt.
• Heat 3 ounces olive oil in the bottom of a large, heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat until hot. Add the seasoned meat, in batches if needed, and brown on all sides, about 3 minutes. Remove the meat from the pot, then set aside in a bowl and add the remaining 2 ounces oil to the pot; heat until hot. Add the garlic and onions and stir until the garlic is fragrant, about 30 seconds. Stir in the tomato paste until combined, then pour in the beans and crushed tomatoes, stirring to combine. Stir in the beef broth, oregano, cumin, chili powder, butter, 1 tablespoon kosher salt and the remaining 2 teaspoons garlic salt. Bring to a low simmer and cook to concentrate flavors, 8 to 10 minutes. Stir in the browned meat, then cover. Allow to simmer for 25 minutes.
• Meanwhile, crumble the cornbread into bite-sized pieces.
• Ladle individual servings of chili into bowls. Top with the Cheddar and crumbled cornbread, then drizzle with the sour cream. Garnish with the scallions and serve.

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.
