Reverse Seared Ribeye With Miso Sauce And Charred Scallions Food

REVERSE SEARED RIBEYE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 225 degrees F.
• Season all sides of the rib-eyes liberally with salt and pepper. Place on wire rack-lined baking sheet. Bake until the desired internal temperature is reached, 105 degrees F for rare, 115 for medium rare and 125 for medium, 1 1/2 to 2 hours. When the rib-eyes come out of the oven, tent loosely with aluminum foil while preheating the skillet.
• Heat a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the oil, then sear the steaks on the first side for about a minute. Flip the steaks and add the butter to the skillet. Once the butter has melted, continue to cook the steaks, continuously basting with the melted butter, until seared on the second side, about 45 seconds. Sear the fat cap as well to crisp up, 30 seconds to 1 minute.
• Slice and serve immediately, spooning the pan juices over each slice. There is no need to rest the meat with the reverse sear method.

REVERSE-SEARED RIB-EYES WITH PARMESAN CREAMED SPINACH AND CHARRED LEMON

Steps:

• Remove the steaks from the refrigerator 1 hour before cooking.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Set a wire rack in a rimmed baking sheet.
• Pat the steaks dry and sprinkle all over with kosher salt. Transfer to the wire rack and bake until the steaks reach your desired internal temperature (120 degrees F for medium-rare; 125 degrees F for medium), 15 to 20 minutes. Remove the steaks from the oven and let rest on the wire rack until ready to sear.
• While the steaks cook, make the creamed spinach: Melt 2 tablespoons of the butter in a medium saucepan over a medium heat. Add the onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and slightly translucent, about 3 minutes. Add 1 tablespoon water and cook, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the saucepan. Add the minced garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant, 2 to 3 minutes. Season with kosher salt.
• Add the spinach, season with kosher salt, and cook, stirring occasionally, until wilted, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the cream and cook, stirring occasionally, until the cream reduces by half, 5 to 6 minutes. Remove from the heat. Stir in the Parmigiano-Reggiano.
• Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Coat the cut sides of the lemon with some of the olive oil and place them cut-side down in the skillet. Cook undisturbed until the cut sides are browned, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove the lemons to a plate and set aside. Reserve the skillet.
• Coat the steaks all over with the remaining olive oil.
• Heat the same cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until it starts to smoke. Add the steaks and cook until browned, 45 seconds to 1 minute on all sides. Remove the skillet from the heat. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons butter, the thyme and the whole cloves garlic to the skillet. Tilt the skillet towards you so the butter pools at the bottom and, using a spoon, baste the steaks with the melted butter for 1 minute.
• Transfer the steaks to a cutting board and slice immediately. Drizzle with the balsamic, sprinkle with flaky sea salt, and garnish with the charred lemons and fresh mint. Serve with the creamed spinach. Enjoy!

PAN-SEARED RIBEYE WITH MISO BUTTER

Steps:

• For the miso butter, combine the softened butter and miso together in a small bowl. Add the green onions and pepper and combine. Keep at room temperature or roll into a 1 1/2-inch (3.8-cm) wide log in plastic wrap and refrigerate. Cut into slices before serving.
• There is one key difference to this method for thick steaks. The first step is to slightly warm the steaks in the oven before cooking on the stove. Adjust the oven rack to the center position and preheat the oven to 275°F (135°C). Add your cast-iron skillet to the oven to warm up. I like to use a preheated cast-iron pan because it retains heat very well for searing. Place a wire rack on a rimmed baking sheet, and set aside.
• Pat dry the steaks with paper towels, pressing out as much surface moisture as possible. Season both sides of the steak with salt and pepper. Transfer the steaks to the wire rack and place in the oven. The heat helps to dry the free moisture on the surface of the steaks for quicker browning and cook time in the pan.
• Cook the steak until the internal temperature reaches 90 to 95°F (32 to 35°C) for medium-rare, or 100 to 105°F (38°C to 41°C) for medium, about 15 to 20 minutes. The time will vary depending on the thickness of the steaks. Remove the steaks from the oven.
• In the warmed 12-inch (30-cm) cast-iron skillet, heat the vegetable oil over high heat until just beginning to smoke. Carefully add the steaks and sear until browned with a nice crust, about 2 minutes. Flip the steaks with tongs and sear until browned, 1½ to 2 minutes, or until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of steak registers 120 to 125°F (49 to 52°C) for medium-rare or 130°F (54°C) for medium.
• Reduce the heat to medium and add the butter, garlic and white and light green parts of green onion. Turn the steaks onto their sides to cook and render any remaining fat, about 1 to 2 minutes. Briefly baste the steaks with the butter, garlic and green onion mixture. Basting the steaks as they cook with oil helps distribute any aromatics like herbs in the pan and evenly browns the surface. The butter is added toward the end to add flavor, mouthfeel and encourage more browning due to the milk protein solids in the butter.
• Immediately transfer the steaks to a clean wire rack set on a sheet pan to rest for 10 minutes. Serve the steaks topped with the miso butter, green onions and cilantro.
• Recipe Science
• Preheating the steak at low temperature activates enzymes called cathepsins in the meat that help to tenderize the beef, which occurs below 122°F (50°C). The goal with searing is to achieve a quick sear to create a thick brown crust on the steak without overcooking the interior.
