Grilled Rib Eye With Tomato And Arugula Salad Food

RIB-EYE STEAK

Steps:

• Preheat a grill to high heat.
• Place rib-eye steaks on a large platter and season with rub on all sides. Transfer seasoned steaks to the hot grill, and cook for 4 to 6 minutes on each side for medium-rare, longer if desired. Remove steaks and let rest for 5 to 10 minutes before serving.
• In a small bowl, combine all ingredients, to taste. Adjust the ratio of spices to your preference.

GRILLED RIB-EYE STEAKS

Steps:

• Heat grill to high; clean and lightly oil hot grates. Let steaks stand at room temperature for 30 minutes. Generously season both sides of steaks with salt and pepper. Grill steaks, rotating once to create hatch marks, until well-browned on the outside and cooked to desired doneness, 6 to 7 minutes per side on a charcoal grill (or 8 to 9 minutes per side on a gas grill) for medium-rare (about 125 degrees). Transfer to a platter; cover with foil. Let rest for 10 minutes. Slice steaks against the grain.

GRILLED CALAMARI AND ARUGULA SALAD

Steps:

• For the vinaigrette: Add the grapefruit juice and vinegar to a medium bowl. Add the olive oil while whisking to combine. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
• For the calamari salad: Mix together the oil, chili flakes, garlic, lemon juice and zest, parsley and some salt in a large bowl. Add the calamari, toss together and let marinate for 20 minutes or up to 1 hour. Preheat a grill to high heat. Remove the calamari from the marinade and skewer them. Skewering the rings of the calamari onto 2 skewers each will help to keep them on the skewer and not fall off into the grill. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, and grill for about 2 minutes per side. They should be slightly charred and opaque. Add the calamari, arugula, grapefruit segments, fennel and vinaigrette to a large bowl and toss. Season with salt and pepper and serve immediately.

SEARED RIB-EYE STEAK WITH ARUGULA AND ROASTED PEPPER SALAD

Steps:

• In a large saute pan, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil. Season steaks with salt and pepper. When pan starts to smoke, carefully add steaks. Allow the steaks to cook for about 6 minutes on one side, without moving or piercing the meat. This will help create a good, crusty sear. If steak starts to brown too quickly, reduce heat to medium. When steaks are brown, flip and sear the other side for 6 minutes for medium rare. Cook for an additional 3 to 4 minutes per side for medium well. Remove meat to a large plate and allow to rest for 10 minutes.
• Decoratively line a large platter with arugula. Tear the roasted peppers into large pieces and scatter over the arugula. In a small bowl, whisk the 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil, balsamic vinegar and any meat juices that may have collected on the plate from the steaks. Season with salt and pepper.
• Slice the steaks across the grain and on a bias into 1 1/2-inch thick pieces. Lay the slices on top of the salad and drizzle with dressing. Using a vegetable peeler, shave about 8 pieces of Parmesan over the dish.

ROASTED TOMATO, ARUGULA AND MOZZARELLA SALAD

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• Add the tomatoes to a shallow 2-quart casserole dish in a single layer.
• Toss the tomatoes with the oil, and salt and pepper, to taste. Make sure the tomatoes are cut side up after tossing. Roast until the tomatoes are extremely tender, about 35 to 40 minutes. Remove them from the oven and keep warm.
• In a large salad bowl, toss the arugula, mozzarella balls, basil and the warm tomatoes along with any juices from the dish. Drizzle with some good balsamic and season with salt and pepper, to taste.

GRILLED PORK WITH ARUGULA AND TOMATO SALAD

Steps:

• Place pork between 2 sheets of waxed paper and flatten by rolling over with a rolling pin a few times; place pork in a releasable zip-close plastic bag (or glass container).
• Add 2 tablespoons of lemon juice, garlic, 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of pepper to bag (or container); seal bag and shake to mix and coat (or stir and cover). Let marinate for at least 10 minutes but no more than 1 hour.
• Off heat, coat a grill rack or stove top grill pan with cooking spray; preheat to medium-high heat. Grill pork until cooked through, flipping once, about 2 to 3 minutes per side.
• Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine arugula, tomatoes, remaining 2 tablespoons of lemon juice, vinegar, oil and remaining 1/4 teaspoon each of salt and pepper; toss to combine. Serve pork with salad on top. Yields 2 pieces of pork and about 2 1/4 cups of salad per serving.
