My Country Rib Eye Breakfast Food

SEARED RIB EYE BAHN MI

Steps:

• For the quick-pickled vegetables: Bring the rice vinegar, sugar, chile paste and 1/2 cup water to a boil in a small saucepan. Combine the radishes and carrots in a small bowl and pour the pickling liquid over the top. Set aside and allow to cool and pickle while you prepare the remaining ingredients, at least 20 minutes or up to 1 hour.
• For the rib-eye steak: Heat the olive oil in a large heavy-bottomed skillet over medium to medium-high heat. Sprinkle the steak on all sides with the salt and pepper. Place the steak in the skillet and cook until it reaches the desired temperature, about 4 minutes per side for a perfect medium-rare. Meanwhile, mix the butter and soy sauce together in a small bowl. Remove the steak to a plate and immediately spread the soy butter over the top. Let the steak rest and the butter melt into the steak, 5 to 7 minutes.
• For the spicy mayonnaise: Mix together the mayonnaise, chile paste and sesame oil in a small bowl until completely combined. Set aside.
• To assemble: Using a sharp knife, split the baguette through the middle. Spread the top and bottom with the spicy mayonnaise. Thinly slice the steak and shingle it on the bottom of the bread. Drain the pickled carrots and radishes and place on top of the steak. Finish with the cucumber ribbons and cilantro. Cut the sandwich into thirds or fourths and 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.

MY COUNTRY RIB EYE BREAKFAST

Steps:

• Season the steaks lightly with black pepper.
• Grill or pan fry the steaks until done to your liking, I myself prefer med.
• Fry the bacon in a skillet, set bacon aside and drain the grease from the skillet, reserving just enough grease to scramble the eggs inches.
• Heat up the chili on the stove top or in a microwave, stirring occasionally.
• Scramble the eggs and just before they are done, crumble the bacon and add to the eggs.
• Plate your steaks, divide the egg and bacon mix in half and add to the top of the steaks, then divide the chili and pour over the steak and eggs.
• Top with shredded cheese.
• You can always add any little goodies, like green onions, chopped green peppers etc, to your liking. Use whatever chili you like or have handy, and depending on the potency you may want to use a bit more or less, just so the chili does not overwhelm the rest of the dish.

SIMPLE COUNTRY RIBS

Steps:

• Place spareribs in a large stock pot with barbeque sauce, onion, salt, and pepper. Pour in enough water to cover. Bring to a low boil, and cook approximately 40 minutes.
• Preheat grill for high heat.
• Lightly oil grate. Remove spareribs from the stock pot, and place on the prepared grill. Use the barbeque sauce in the saucepan to baste ribs while cooking. Grill ribs, basting and turning frequently, for 20 minutes, or until nicely browned.

PAN-FRIED RIB-EYE STEAK

Steps:

• Up to 8 hrs before cooking, pat the steaks dry with kitchen paper and season with salt and pepper. Heat the oil over a high flame in a heavy-based frying pan that will comfortably fit both steaks. When the oil is shimmering, turn the heat down to medium-high and add the butter. Once it's sizzling, carefully lay the steaks in the pan, tucking the garlic and herbs in at the sides.
• Stand over the steaks with a pair of tongs, searing and turning them every 30 seconds to 1 min so they get a nice brown crust. As a rough guide, each steak will take 4 mins in total for rare, 5-6 mins in total for medium and 8-10 mins for well done. If you have a digital cooking thermometer, the temperatures you're looking for in middle of the steak are 50C for rare, 60C for medium and 70C for well done. Leave the steaks to rest for at least 5 mins. While the steaks are resting, you can make a classic red wine sauce to go with them.

BULL'S EYE BREAKFAST

Steps:

• Heat a griddle or pan to medium-high heat, and butter both sides of a slice of bread. I find it it easiest for cleanup (and to avoid buttering the rest of my kitchen) to do this step on a sheet of wax paper.
• With a biscuit cutter, the rim of a glass, or just a knife, cut a large circle out of the center of the bread.
• Place the bread and the bread circle in the heated pan (the butter should make a "sizzling" sound).
• Once you hear the "sizzling" sound, crack the egg directly into the pan, in the middle of the piece of bread from which you cut the circle.
• When the white of the egg is not see-through anymore, turn the egg/bread combo over. Turn the bread circle over also.
• Cook until bread is brown on both sides (like toast) and egg in the middle of egg/bread combo is over-easy (the white is cooked on both sides while the yolk is liquid).
