Seared Rib Eye Tomato Pan Sauce Recipes

PERFECT PAN SEARED RIBEYE STEAK

Steps:

• Bring a medium to large skillet or frying pan to medium high heat, making sure that it is really HOT before you place your steak(s) in the pan.
• Coat both sides of your steak with olive oil, spreading the oil to evenly cover both surfaces and edges. Season the side facing up with my steak seasoning, using your finger tips to press the seasoning in to set it firmly on the steak ( do not rub it onto the steak as the seasoning can be more heavily concentrated in areas if done this way ). Season the fatty sides for extra flavor!
• Place the steak in the pan, seasoned side down and then season the side of the steak that is facing upward. Do not move the steak until you are ready to flip it over to cook the other side. If your steak is about 1" thick, cook the first side for 3-4 minutes, if it is 1 1/2" thick let it cook for about 5 minutes ( for medium rare ).
• Turn the steak and cook for the same amount of time, depending on the steak thickness ( 3-4 minutes for 1" thick steak, or 5 minutes for a 1 1/2" thick steak ). The fat should all be rendered from the steak when done, and the internal temperature should be about 135 degrees F (57 degrees C).
• Place the butter, garlic, and herbs into the pan once you have turned your steak(s), let it melt, then spoon over the cooked side of your steak ( basting or 'arroser' ) while you finish cooking.
• Remove the cooked steak from the frying pan or skillet and tent a square of aluminum foil over it, allowing the steak to rest for about 5-10 minutes before serving.

PAN-SEARED RIB-EYE

Steps:

• Remove the steaks from the fridge at least 15 minutes before cooking.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• In a small bowl, mix together the sugar, garlic powder, pimenton, cayenne and 1 teaspoon salt. Drizzle the steaks with olive oil to lightly coat. Coat the steaks with the spice rub on all sides.
• Heat a large cast-iron pan over high heat. Add the butter and let melt. Add the steaks and cook, turning to cook on all sides, until richly browned, about 10 minutes. Meanwhile, add the thyme bundle and garlic cut-side down. If the pan seems dry, add more butter. Tilt the pan to spoon the butter over the steaks as they cook. Once the steaks are browned and basted on all sides, place them on a sheet pan fitted with a wire rack. Transfer to the oven and cook through to desired temperature. I like my steaks medium rare! Allow the steaks to rest and the juices to settle at least 10 minutes before slicing.
• Meanwhile, lower the heat to medium-low under the pan and add the onion rings. Allow to char on both sides, flipping once after about 1 minute. Set aside.
• To a medium bowl, add the arugula, lemon juice and olive oil to lightly coat. Season with salt and pepper. Add the charred onion and toss.
• Remove the meat from the bone and slice into 1- to 3/4-inch slices. Lay the steak on a serving platter with the bone on top and garnish with the arugula onion salad. Serve!

PAN-SEARED RIB-EYE

Steps:

• Place a 10-to-12-inch cast-iron skillet in the oven and heat the oven to 500 degrees F. Bring the steak to room temperature.
• When the oven reaches temperature, remove the skillet and place on the range over high heat for 5 minutes. Coat the steak lightly with oil and sprinkle both sides with a generous pinch of salt. Grind on black pepper.
• Immediately place the steak in the middle of the hot, dry skillet. Cook 30 seconds without moving. Turn with tongs and cook another 30 seconds, then put the pan straight into the oven for 2 minutes. Flip the steak and cook for another 2 minutes. (This time is for medium-rare steak. If you prefer medium, add a minute to both of the oven turns.)
• Remove the steak from the skillet, cover loosely with foil and rest for 2 minutes. Serve whole or slice thin and fan onto plate.
