Rib Eye Steaks With Radicchio Pear And Blue Cheese Salad Food

GRILLED RIB-EYE STEAK WITH BLUE CHEESE

Steps:

• For the blue cheese dressing, combine the heavy cream, cream cheese, sour cream, Gorgonzola, and scallions in a large bowl and gently crush together with a fork. Set aside.
• Preheat a charcoal grill until the coals are white. Rub both sides of the steak with 1 tablespoon (15ml) olive oil and season liberally with salt and pepper. Put the steak in the center of the grill and cook 6 to 7 minutes per side, turn 90-degrees once on each side. If the grill is too hot and the steak is cooking too fast, transfer the steak to indirect heat and cover. Remove the steaks from the grill and rest for about 10 minutes. Meanwhile, toss the arugula with the remaining olive oil and season with salt.
• Serve the steaks with the arugula and the blue cheese dressing.

BLUE CHEESE-AGED RIB-EYE STEAK

Steps:

• For the steaks: On a baking sheet, lay out a sheet of plastic wrap, then unfold a piece of cheesecloth on top. Place the steaks on the cheesecloth. Fold a thin layer of the cheesecloth over the steaks, then top with the blue cheese. Fold over the plastic wrap to secure the cheese on top. Refrigerate the wrapped steaks overnight.
• Let the steaks sit at room temperature for 20 minutes.
• Unwrap the steaks; reserve the blue cheese for the sauce. Pat the steaks dry with paper towels.
• Heat a cast-iron skillet over high heat. Season the steaks with salt and pepper on both sides. Once the skillet is hot, drizzle in the canola oil. Add the steaks and sear for 5 minutes on one side. Flip the steaks and cook for 2 minutes. Lower the heat to medium, then add the butter, thyme, rosemary and garlic. Use a spoon to baste the melted butter over the steaks as they cook. Cook for 3 to 4 more minutes for medium-rare doneness. Let rest on a plate for 5 minutes.
• For the blue cheese sauce: In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the shallots and cook until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the cream and Worcestershire sauce and cook for 1 minute more. Add the salt, pepper and reserved blue cheese and stir well. Just as the cheese begins to melt, remove from the heat. To serve, spoon the sauce over the steaks.

RIB EYE STEAK WITH ONION BLUE CHEESE SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat the grill to a high heat or light your outdoor grill.
• Sprinkle the steaks with salt and pepper and smear both sides of the steaks with 1/2 stick of the butter.
• Grill the steaks until medium-rare, 3 to 4 minutes per side, and then remove from the heat and keep warm. (You can also saute them in a skillet over medium-high heat if you prefer.)
• Melt the remaining 1/2 stick of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat, and then saute the onions until golden brown, 7 to 8 minutes. Pour in the cream, a dash of salt and pepper and the Worcestershire sauce. Let it bubble up, then add the blue cheese and stir together to melt, adding more pepper or Worcestershire sauce as you wish.
• Place the steaks on plates and spoon the sauce over the top.
• Take a bite. And the world at long last will make sense.

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.

RIB-EYE STEAKS WITH BERRIES AND BLUE CHEESE

Steps:

• Make the port wine reduction: Add enough canola oil to a large nonreactive stockpot to cover the bottom and set it over high heat. Just before the oil starts smoking, add the shallots, mushrooms and peppercorns and reduce the heat to medium. Sweat the vegetables until brown bits form on the bottom of the pan, about 5 minutes, then add the sugar. Add the red wine and port and deglaze the pan, scraping the brown bits off the bottom. Simmer the liquid until it has reduced to about 1 1/2 cups, about 40 minutes. Add the stock and cook until the liquid has reduced to 1 1/2 cups, about 15 more minutes. Be sure to skim off any foam that forms on the surface.
• Transfer the liquid to a heatproof bowl. Add the thyme and bay leaf, then cover tightly with plastic wrap. Let infuse 1 hour. Strain through a fine-mesh strainer into a saucepan and set aside.
• Make the steaks: Position racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven; preheat to 350 degrees F. Thoroughly blot the meat dry and season both sides liberally with salt and pepper. Add enough canola oil to 2 large skillets to cover the bottoms (about 2 tablespoons each) and set over high heat. Just before the oil starts smoking, add a steak to each skillet and cook 6 minutes. Check the bottoms of the steaks to see if they are charred to your liking. Flip the steaks with tongs and add 1 tablespoon butter to each skillet. Cook, tilting the skillets and spooning the butter over the steaks, 2 more minutes.
• Transfer the steaks to a rimmed baking sheet; transfer to the oven and bake until a meat thermometer registers 125 degrees F (medium rare), an additional 3 minutes. Transfer the steaks to a cutting board and let rest at least 7 minutes before serving.
• Meanwhile, warm the port wine reduction until it simmers. Stir in the berries and cook 30 seconds. Remove from the heat.
• Slice the steak off the bone in 1 piece with a sharp knife, then slice the meat against the grain. Serve with the port wine reduction and crumbled blue cheese.

SUNDAY RIB-EYE STEAKS WITH BLUE CHEESE BUTTER, MUSHROOMS AND SHERRY

Steps:

• Season the steaks with salt and pepper, then sprinkle with the onion powder and garlic powder.
• Heat a large skillet over high heat. Coat with a little oil, then add the steaks and cook on each side for 4 minutes or until seared. After the second flip, add the 2 tablespoons butter, the rosemary and garlic. Once the butter melts, tilt the skillet slightly to pool the liquid, then constantly spoon the butter over the steaks for 2 more minutes. Flip the steaks and baste again for 2 minutes. Remove the steaks from the skillet and let rest on a platter.
• Meanwhile, cook the mushrooms: Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden, 4 to 5 minutes. Remove the skillet from the heat, add the sherry, then return to the heat and cook, scraping any browned bits from the bottom with a wooden spoon. Add the butter, swirl the skillet to coat, then season with salt and pepper. Set aside and keep warm.
• For the blue cheese butter: Mash the butter, blue cheese and parsley together with a fork in a small bowl until combined. Use right away or refrigerate for up to 2 weeks. Alternatively, you can fill small cookie cutters with the blue cheese butter and refrigerate until firm enough to unmold and take on a decorative shape. A leaf-shaped cutter would be pretty.
• Serve the mushrooms directly on top of the steaks. Or slice the steaks and serve the mushrooms in a side dish. Top each steak with a pat of the blue cheese butter, if desired.

GRILLED BONE-IN RIB-EYE STEAKS WITH BLUE CHEESE

Steps:

• Season steaks with salt and pepper at least 30 minutes and up to 1 hour before you plan to cook them. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and let stand at room temperature.
• Heat grill to high. If using a charcoal grill, mound coals to one side, allowing for an area of indirect heat. If using a gas grill, turn on only a few of the burners and leave the rest off for indirect heat.
• Lightly oil steaks. Place on the hottest part of the grill. Cook, covered, until they develop a golden-brown crust, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Move steaks to indirect heat and crumble cheese over the top; cover and continue cooking 2 to 5 minutes longer, depending on desired doneness. (Pull the meat at 125 degrees for rare.)
• Transfer steaks to a cutting board to rest, loosely covered with foil, for 10 minutes. While steaks rest, stir together butter, chives and hot sauce. Pour over steak before serving.

BALSAMIC STEAK WITH RADICCHIO

Steps:

• Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the steaks with salt and pepper. When the pan is hot, add 1 tablespoon butter, swirling the pan to coat. Add the steaks, sprinkle them with a pinch of sugar, and sear until golden brown on the bottom, about 4 minutes. Flip and cook until golden on the other side, 2 more minutes. Transfer to a cutting board and tent with foil.
• Reduce the heat to medium and add 1 tablespoon butter to the skillet. Add the garlic and cook 20 seconds. Add the radicchio in batches, tossing until wilted. Sprinkle with 1 to 2 teaspoons sugar and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Add the sun-dried tomatoes and vinegar and cook until the vinegar evaporates slightly, about 1 minute. Add the broth and cook until the radicchio is tender, about 2 minutes. Stir in the basil. Transfer the radicchio to plates using tongs. Continue cooking the sauce until it thickens slightly, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in the remaining 1 tablespoon butter.
• Thinly slice the steak and add to the plates. Drizzle with the sauce and top with more sun-dried tomatoes and basil.

GRIDDLED PEAR & BLUE CHEESE SALAD

Steps:

• Put the pears in a bowl and drizzle with 1 tsp of the oil. Heat a griddle pan, then cook the pears, in batches, for 1 min on each side. Set aside to cool.
• Mix the remaining oil, vinegar and honey. Toss the pears, leaves and cheese, divide between 4 plates and drizzle with the dressing. Serve with bread, if you like.
