Dry Rubbed Rib Eye With Mushroom Sauce Food

RIBEYE WITH MASHED POTATOES AND MUSHROOM SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Set a wire cooling rack inside a sheet pan.
• Remove the steak from the fridge and bring to room temperature, about 45 minutes.
• Mix together the garlic powder, onion powder, salt and cayenne in a small bowl. Sprinkle the entire steak with the rub on both sides, adding more salt if necessary.
• Add 2 tablespoons olive oil to a large cast-iron skillet and heat over medium high. When the skillet is lightly smoking, sear the steak until well browned, 3 to 4 minutes per side. While searing, use a spoon to baste the steak with the oil from the pan. Turn off the heat and place the garlic halves cut-side down in the skillet and sprinkle the thyme sprigs around the steak. Transfer the skillet to the oven to finish cooking until the internal temperature reaches 135 degrees F when measured with an instant-read thermometer not touching bone, about 8 minutes. Remove the steak and garlic halves to the cooling rack to rest for 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, bring the potatoes and remaining 4 garlic cloves to a boil in a medium pot of heavily salted water. Reduce to a simmer and cook until the potatoes are fork tender, 10 to 12 minutes. Drain the potatoes and return them to the empty pot.
• Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and coat with olive oil. Add the shallots and sweat until soft, about 3 minutes. Add the sliced mushrooms and a pinch of salt. Continue cooking, tossing occasionally to ensure that the mushrooms do not stick to the skillet, until the mushrooms are tender and browned, about 10 minutes. Add the red wine and simmer until reduced by half, about 3 minutes. Stir in the demi-glace and reduce until the mixture is thick, saucy and coats the back of a spoon, about 4 minutes.
• Using an electric hand mixer, beat the potatoes until smooth. Add 2 pats of butter and a splash of the hot heavy cream. Continue mixing. Repeat, adding more butter and cream 2 more times and finishing with a pinch of salt.
• Cut the bone off the steak and slice the meat on the bias, keeping the slices together (reserve the bone). Fan the steak slices on a serving plate and garnish with the bone and the roasted garlic halves. Spoon the mushroom sauce around the edge of the steak and garnish the steak with chives. Serve with a small ramekin of extra sauce. Serve the mashed potatoes in a separate bowl garnished with a small pat of butter and more chives.

DRY-RUBBED RIB EYE STEAK RESTAURANT STYLE

Steps:

• Combine all the spices in a bowl. Stir to evenly distribute all the ingredients. If you want to monitor the amount of salt, combine all the spices except the salt in a bowl. Add 1 tablespoon Kosher salt and stir. Taste the rub and then gradually add more salt to taste.
• Rub the outside of each steak on all sides generously with the rub and store any leftovers in an airtight container. Wrap each steak in plastic wrap two times, and refrigerate up to 24 hours (my preference) or at most 3 days. This makes the steak taste aged.
• Preheat a gas or charcoal grill until hot. Brush the grill to remove any left over food, then oil the grill. Remove the steaks from the refrigerator about 20 to 30 minutes before cooking and let them come to room temperature. Just before cooking, remove the plastic wrap and lightly oil the steaks with extra-virgin olive oil.
• Place the steaks on a very hot grill and char both sides of the steaks, a few minutes per side. When the outsides of the steaks have become well seared, move the steaks to a cooler part of the grill to continue cooking for 6 to 7 minutes per side for medium rare.
• Remove steaks from the grill and let rest in a warm spot for 7 to 8 minutes. Cut the steak off the bone and slice on the bias across the grain in slices to the thickness you prefer, up to 1 inch thick. Add the bone to the serving plate if you have folks who will appreciate it. If desired, drizzle the meat with extra-virgin olive oil. Serve immediately.

DRY-RUBBED RIB-EYE

Steps:

• Combine all of the dry ingredients in a bowl. Use your fingers to make sure that all of the ingredients are evenly distributed. Rub the outside of each steak generously with the rub. Wrap each steak in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 24 hours, 2 to 3 days is better. This will make the steak taste like it has been aged.
• Preheat a gas or charcoal grill. Brush and oil the grill to loosen and remove any crud. Remove the steaks from the refrigerator about 20 to 30 minutes before cooking. Right before cooking remove the plastic wrap and lightly oil the steaks. Place the steaks on a very hot grill to put a char on both sides of the steak. When both sides of the steak have become well charred move the steak to a cooler part of the grill to continue cooking for 6 to 7 minutes per side for medium rare. Remove the steak from the grill and let rest in a warm spot for 7 to 8 minutes. Cut the steak off the bone and slice on the bias across the grain. Drizzle with extra-virgin olive oil and serve immediately.

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.

• Drain the broccoli rabe and place on the grill pan. Cook until the water has steamed off and the broccoli rabe is charred. Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and red pepper flakes and set aside.

Add the balsamic vinegar, blackberry preserves, soy sauce and half of the blackberries. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 2 to 3 minutes.
• Add the demiglace, return to a boil and reduce until the sauce is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, 10 to 15 minutes. Stir in the remaining blackberries.
• To serve, remove the bones from the rib-eyes, but reserve for plating. Slice the meat against the grain. Pour any juices on the cutting board into the sauce. Plate the sliced rib-eye alongside the grilled broccoli rabe and mushrooms. Spoon the sauce over the rib-eye and enjoy!
