Bone In Rib Eye With Black Truffle Mashed Potatoes Roasted Shallot And Beurre Rouge Food

RIB-EYE STEAK AND CRISPY SMASHED POTATOES FOR TWO

Steps:

• Season steak with 1/2 tsp. salt and 1/2 tsp. pepper. Let sit at room temperature 1 hour.
• Meanwhile, fill a large pot with about 1" water and season with a big pinch of salt. Set a steamer basket in pot. Cover and bring water to a boil. Add potatoes, cover, and steam until fork-tender, 20-25 minutes. Remove steamer basket with potatoes from heat and let cool to room temperature. Crush each flat with the back of a spatula to about 1" thick (the skins will split and some potato flesh might crumble, which is fine).
• While potatoes cook, cover shallots with vinegar in a small bowl. Let sit at least 10 minutes and up to 30. Pour oil over, then stir in parsley, basil, orange zest, and 1/4 tsp. salt; set sauce aside until ready to serve.
• About half an hour before you want to eat, heat a large heavy skillet (preferably cast iron) over high. Using tongs, hold fat cap of steak against skillet while it heats until enough oil to coat pan is rendered, about 2 minutes. Lay steak down in hot beef fat and cook over high heat, turning every 2 minutes, until a deep brown crust forms and an instant-read thermometer inserted into thickest part of steak registers 120°F for medium-rare, 12-15 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest 10 minutes.
• Heat skillet with beef fat over medium. Add potatoes and paprika; season with remaining 3/4 tsp. salt. Cook, turning once, until potatoes are golden brown and crisp, about 10 minutes.
• Cut meat from bone and slice against the grain into thick slices. Transfer steak and potatoes to a platter. Drizzle some green sauce over and serve with remaining sauce alongside.

BONE-IN RIB-EYE WITH BLACK TRUFFLE MASHED POTATOES, ROASTED SHALLOT AND BEURRE ROUGE

Steps:

• For the potatoes: Place the potatoes in a large pot of water seasoned with a couple pinches of salt. Bring to a simmer and cook until the potatoes are soft, 7 to 8 minutes.
• Meanwhile, put the cream, butter and thyme in a medium saucepan. Shave 4 to 5 slices from the truffle and add them and any broken-up parts to the cream mixture. Bring to simmer over medium heat, then cook on low to infuse the cream.
• Strain the potatoes. Put them through a ricer and back into the pot. Finely grate the remaining truffle on a rasp grater into the potatoes. Gradually strain the infused heavy cream into the mashed potatoes. Season with salt and a drizzle of olive oil. Stir well with a wire whisk.
• For the steak: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Dry the steak off on both sides very well and sprinkle liberally with salt and pepper.
• Heat the olive oil in a large saute pan over high heat. Once the oil starts to smoke, sear the steak until a nice brown crust forms, 2 to 3 minutes per side.
• Add the shallots cut-side down in the residual fat in the pan and cook to caramelization, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove the shallots and steak and drain the fat from the pan. Return the steak to the pan over medium heat. Add the butter and thyme and cook until the thyme starts to pop and fry. Baste the steak with the butter and thyme mixture. Add the shallots back to the pan and Finish with the lemon juice.
• Transfer the steak to a baking sheet lined with a rack and smother in the caramelized shallots, butter and thyme mixture. (Reserve the pan it was cooked in to make the sauce.) Transfer the baking sheet to the oven and roast until medium-rare and an instant-read thermometer inserted in the center (do not touch bone) reads 132 degrees F, about 15 minutes. Let the steak rest before slicing.
• For the sauce: Add the olive oil, shallots and thyme to the drippings in the pan and saute over medium heat until the shallots are translucent, 3 to 4 minutes. Deglaze the pan with the red wine, then turn the heat down to medium and reduce the wine by two-thirds, about 8 minutes. Add the demi-glace and red wine vinegar and season with salt and pepper.
• Whisk in the cold butter in, one piece at a time, to mount the sauce. Strain the reduction, removing the shallots and thyme. Return the reduction to the pan and warm over low heat.
• Serve the potatoes and steak with the beurre rouge. Garnish with the reserved caramelized shallots and some watercress.

CHARRED RIB EYE ROAST

Steps:

• Place rosemary, garlic, peppercorns, and salt in processor and grind.
• Add olive and pulse to a paste.
• Place in refrigerator.
• Coat entire roast with Dijon mustard. Set on dish or in very large plastic bag and sprinkle Worcestershire sauce over roast to ensure an even distribution.
• Allow roast to absorb mustard flavor while resting in the refrigerator overnight. (min 6 hours).
• Allow roast to reach room temperature.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
• Sear on all sides to lock in juices.
• spread herb paste on all surfaces except the rib area covered by the membrane. Place, rib side up, on a rack in a high side dish.
• De glaze pan used to sear with merlot. Attempt to capture all of the bits.
• Add water to the bottom of the dish to a depth of 1/2 inch.
• Slowly pour pan juices over roast, ensuring you capture the bit on the meat and not "wash" away herb paste.
• Roast until internal temperature reaches 135 degrees. (No basting is required but ensure that the fluids in the dish do not completely evaporate and don't consist of only grease.
• Tent aluminum foil over meat on serving dish and allow to rest. Internal temp will continue to rise for a short time.
• Again, de glaze roasting dish with Merlot and reduce to half the amount. (personal choice as the juices collected while resting are just as good.

RIB-EYE STEAK AND POTATOES FOR TWO

Steps:

• Season steak generously with salt and pepper. Sprinkle with sliced garlic and rosemary and set aside to marinate, 20 to 30 minutes.
• Heat oven to 450 degrees. Meanwhile, bring a pot of well-salted water to a boil. Add potatoes and cook at a brisk simmer until just done, 10 to 15 minutes. Drain and keep warm.
• Heat a cast-iron or other heavy skillet over high heat. Remove and discard sliced garlic from steak. (If left on, it will burn in the skillet.)
• When pan is hot, put in the steak and let brown well on one side, 4 to 5 minutes. Wait until steak forms a crust and comes away cleanly from the bottom to move it.
• Flip steak and transfer pan to oven, uncovered. Roast until juices begin to rise on surface of steak (you will see the droplets) and internal temperature is 120 degrees, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove steak from pan and let rest, tented with foil, for 5 to 10 minutes. (Residual heat will continue to cook the meat to medium-rare as it rests.) Warm a serving bowl for the potatoes and plates for the steak.
• Melt butter in a wide skillet over medium-high heat. Add potatoes and toss to coat and heat through. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Add minced garlic and cook, stirring, until softened but not browned, 1 minute or less. Gently stir in parsley and lemon zest and transfer to serving bowl.
• Cutting on a slight diagonal, slice steak into 1/2-inch slices, then transfer to plates. If using, place a handful of greens next to the steak. Serve immediately, passing potatoes at the table.

RIB EYE STEAK (BONE-IN)

Steps:

• First take the steak out of the fridge and salt it to taste. Next, rub some olive oil on both sides of the steak. Now salt again, and pour your crushed peppercorns on to your likings.
• Now here's the important part leave your steak on the counter for about 30 minutes so it can reach room temperature. If you cook while it's still cold it won't cook thoroughly, and you'll have some cold spots in the center. While you're waiting for your steak to reach room temperature, start heating up your grill, or broiler.
• This is the most important part. Allow your grill, or broiler to get really hot before you throw your steak on it. It will cook all the way through very quickly and seal in the juices. So now you are ready to start cooking.
• Grab the steak with tongs or by hand, do not use a fork, and put it on the grill, or broiler. You should only have to flip the steak twice, and more and it's considered counterproductive.
• It should take about 3 minutes on each side to be just under medium. If you're not used to cooking steaks use a cheap poker thermometer, and get a reading. 140 degrees would be considered medium rare, 160 would be medium, and 180 would be really well done. This steak is best between 140-155 degrees.
• When the steak is done cooking take it out, and place it on a glass plate. Let the steak rest for 3 minutes, and you'll notice all kinds of juices just pouring out of the meat this has all the flavor so don't drain it.
• Heat up a pan to a high temperature, and pour these juices into the pan with 2 tablespoon of balsamic vinegar. If the pan is hot enough it will sizzle and start to caramelize instantly. Give it about 10 seconds, and then pour it on top of your steak, and serve.

SEARED RIB-EYE STEAK WITH SMASHED POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Let steak stand until room temperature.
• Bring potatoes to a boil in generously salted water. Cook until fork-tender, about 8 minutes. Drain and let cool slightly. Brush a rimmed baking sheet with 1 tablespoon oil. Lightly crush each potato on sheet with palm to 1/2-inch thickness. Brush with 1 tablespoon oil. Season with salt and pepper, and scatter thyme on top. Roast until golden and crisp, about 25 minutes, rotating sheet once.
• Meanwhile, combine butter and scallion in a bowl. Season with salt. Heat a large cast-iron or other heavy skillet over medium-high heat, 2 minutes. Pat steak dry and rub with remaining 1 teaspoon oil. Season generously with salt and pepper and place in hot pan. Cook until browned, about 5 minutes a side. Transfer skillet to oven. Roast alongside potatoes until a thermometer inserted in thickest part of steak reads 130 degrees for medium-rare, 10 to 12 minutes. Transfer steak to a platter, top with scallion butter, and let rest 10 minutes before slicing. Serve with potatoes.
