Pan Seared Cast Iron Ribeye Steak Food

CAST IRON PAN-SEARED STEAK (OVEN-FINISHED)

Steps:

• Place steaks side by side in large casserole dish. Add orange juice, cider vinegar, and Worcestershire sauce. Refrigerate, uncovered, for 45 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
• Remove casserole dish from refrigerator. Cover steaks with plastic wrap and let reach room temperature, at least 15 minutes.
• Heat olive oil in a cast-iron skillet over high heat.
• Place steaks on a clean work surface and generously rub with steak seasoning and black pepper.
• Cook steaks in the hot skillet until lightly browned on the bottom, 2 1/2 minutes. Flip and cook until browned on the other side and red in the center, about 2 minutes more. Place skillet, with steaks, into the oven.
• Bake in the preheated oven until steaks are firm and reddish-pink to lightly pink in the center, 8 to 10 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read from 130 degrees F (54 degrees C) to 140 degrees F (60 degrees C).
• Remove steaks from oven; season with salt. Let sit for 5 minutes before serving.

PAN SEARED RIBEYE STEAK

Steps:

• Remove your steaks from their packaging. Using a paper towel, dry your steaks on all sides. Allow them to come to room temperature. This will take anywhere between 10-20 minutes. After 10 minutes, salt and pepper your steaks generously on all sides. While waiting, prep your aromatics.
• Remove the skin from on shallot and roughly chop into large pieces. Cut an entire head of garlic in half horizontally.
• Preheat your dry skillet over medium heat until it starts to smoke. This will take about 3 minutes. Skillet should come to 475F.
• Pour in the olive oil. It will be shiny against the hot skillet. Gently lay your steak in the pan away from you. It will continue to smoke and sizzle. Allow to cook for 2 minutes.
• Using tongs, flip the steak onto the other side. Cook for another 1-2 minutes. During this second flip, add the shallot, garlic, rosemary, and butter to the skillet. Render the fat on the edge of the steak.
• As the butter melts, tip the skillet towards you. Using a spoon, gather the brown butter continuously and baste the aromatics and steak.
• Remove from the skillet and set on a cutting board. Allow to rest 5 minutes before cutting. While resting pour one more spoonful of browned butter over the steak. Once ready, cut into 1/4 inch - 1/2 inch strips against the grain and at an angle. Serve and enjoy.

PAN-SEARED STEAK

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400. Heat oil in a large cast-iron or other ovenproof skillet (not a nonstick) over medium-high until it begins to smoke. Pat steak dry with paper towels. Season each side with 1 teaspoon coarse salt and 1 teaspoon cracked pepper.
• Cook steak in skillet over medium-high heat until a dark crust has formed, 5 to 7 minutes per side (reduce heat if meat is browning too quickly). Holding steak with tongs, quickly brown all edges, turning as necessary; lay steak flat in skillet.
• Transfer skillet to oven. Roast until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part of steak registers desired doneness, 5 to 15 minutes. Transfer to a plate; spread with 1 tablespoon Steak Butter. Cover loosely with aluminum foil, and let rest 5 to 10 minutes (temperature will then rise another 5 to 10 degrees). Slice across the grain; serve with remaining Steak Butter. Cover and refrigerate any leftovers, up to 2 days.

• Remove the steak from the packaging and allow it to rest at room temperature while the oven preheats. Brush both sides of the steak with vegetable oil and sprinkle generously with salt and pepper.
• Place a cast iron skillet over medium high heat and coat with about a Tablespoon of vegetable oil. Heat the pan until the oil is shimmering and droplets of water sizzle in the pan. Add the steaks to the pan and allow them to cook until seared on one side, about 3-4 minutes. Flip the steaks over and then place in the oven to continue cooking until the internal temperature reaches 145 degrees for medium, or about another 4-6 minutes. Remove the steaks from the oven, transfer to a plate (preferably a warm plate!) and place a Tablespoon of butter on each steak. Tent with foil and allow to rest for at least 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, make the mushrooms. Melt 2 Tablespoons of the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the mushrooms and allow them to cook undisturbed until well browned on one side. Flip them over and continue to saute until the mushrooms are soft and browned. Stir in the garlic and cook for another minute, or until fragrant. Serve the steaks with the mushrooms on top.

Carefully remove the cast-iron skillet with oven mitts and place onto a burner on the stove.Add 1 tablespoon avocado oil to the cast iron skillet and heat over high heat until it begins to smoke. Once smoking, carefully add the ribeye to the skillet and sear for 2 minutes on one side. Flip, and sear for another 1-2 minutes on the opposite side or until the internal temperature reaches 135°F or your desired level of doneness (see chart below).

RIB EYE STEAK RECIPE

Steps:

• Choose your ribeye steak: You can buy either bone-in or boneless steak for this recipe. The most important thing is to buy a high quality steak (read: expensive. Mine was $15/pound.) The grade of the meat should be labeled USDA Prime, or Choice if you are desperate. Don't buy Select, it is not appropriate for this cooking method. The steak should be well marbled, which means that you can see lots of swirly white veins of fat all over the meat. Fat=flavor. Bring it on.
• Prepare your ribeye steak: At least 4 hours or up to 48 hours before you want to eat, prepare your steak by rubbing it with a ton of kosher salt. For 1 pound of steak, I used 2 teaspoons kosher salt (one teaspoon per side, and make sure to get the edges too). This sounds like a lot! But something magical happens while it sits for so long: the salt first draws out the moisture, but then absorbs it back into the meat and tenderizes and flavors the entire steak, not just the outside. Place the salted steak on a plate and put it in your fridge uncovered. Yes, uncovered. This allows the steak to dry out and give you an incredible sear when you cook it. (NOTE: If you are using table salt (regular salt that you find on the table in any restaurant) then use a total of 1 and 1/2 teaspoons).
• 30 minutes before cooking: Get your salted steak out of the fridge and set it on the counter for at least 30 minutes. Don't cook a cold steak, it will be overdone on the edges and undone in the middle. Just before cooking, drizzle the steak with 1-2 teaspoons canola or vegetable (or any high heat) oil, and rub it all over the steak. Don't be shy.
• Make the garlic butter sauce: In a small bowl, add 3-4 tablespoons butter and melt it in the microwave. (The more butter you use the more drizzling sauce you will end up with.) Add 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon pepper, 1 teaspoon thyme leaves, and 1 teaspoon chopped rosemary. (Use 1/2 teaspoon each dried thyme and rosemary if you don't have fresh). Use the side of a chef's knife to smash two cloves of garlic. Peel them and slice the garlic into strips. Add the garlic to the butter. Stir it together and set aside. If you have fresh thyme and rosemary, prep the sprigs you are using and set them nearby.

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.
