Rib Eye With Garlic Thyme Marinade Food

STANDING RIB ROAST

Steps:

• Position a rack in the lower third of the oven (move the other racks up to make room for the roast). Pat the rib roast dry with paper towels. Using a sharp thin knife, poke slits in the top and sides of the roast and between the ribs; stuff the slits with the garlic slices, poking them into the meat so that they're covered. (Do this 3 or 4 slits at a time so you don't lose track of where you made the cuts.)
• Pulse the peppercorns in a mini food processor or spice grinder to break them up. Add 2 tablespoons salt, the rosemary and thyme and pulse until finely chopped. Pour into a small bowl and stir in the olive oil. Rub all over the top, sides and bottom of the roast (not the bones). Set on a rack in a roasting pan, bone-side down, and let stand at room temperature, 30 to 60 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 450˚ F.
• If using a probe thermometer, insert it into the thickest part of the roast, about halfway in. Place on the lower oven rack and roast until the meat starts browning and the fat sizzles, about 20 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 325˚ F and continue roasting until the internal temperature registers 130˚ F, 1 1/2 to 2 hours more, carefully basting with the drippings every 30 minutes.
• Transfer the rack with the roast to a rimmed baking sheet or large cutting board and let rest 30 to 40 minutes. Carve off the bones in one piece (see right), then slice the meat with a sharp carving knife.

THE BEST BEEF STROGANOFF

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
• Season the beef with 1 teaspoon salt and a generous amount of freshly ground black pepper. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the beef and cook, untouched, until starting to turn brown in some spots, about 1 minute. Use tongs to flip the pieces and continue cooking until deep golden brown but still undercooked in the center, about 1 minute (the beef will finish cooking in the sauce). Transfer the beef to a bowl and return the skillet to the stovetop on medium-high.
• Add 1 tablespoon butter to the skillet. Add the onion and 1/2 teaspoon salt and cook, stirring occasionally to scrape up the browned bits in the pan, until the onions are softened, 4 to 5 minutes. Add 2 tablespoons butter, the button mushrooms, shiitakes and thyme and cook, stirring occasionally scraping up any browned bits, until the mushrooms have released some liquid and are starting to crisp up, 5 to 6 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Pour in the wine and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium and simmer until evaporated, about 5 minutes.
• Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir until incorporated. Fold in the sour cream, Dijon, Worcestershire sauce and 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper. Pour in the beef broth and stir until smooth. Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has thickened, about 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, while the sauce reduces, cook the egg noodles according to the package directions for al dente. Drain and toss with the remaining 2 tablespoons butter, the chopped parsley and chives.
• Fold the beef and any accumulated juices from the bowl into the sauce and cook, stirring occasionally, until the beef is cooked through but still slightly pink on the inside, about 1 minute.
• Divide the noodles between 4 bowls and top with the sauce and beef. Sprinkle with more chives, if desired.

STANDING RIB ROAST OF BEEF

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
• Brush the meat with the olive oil. Combine all of the seasonings in a small bowl. Rub the seasoning paste uniformly over the meat. Place the meat, bone side down, in a roasting pan and roast for 20 minutes.
• At the end of 20 minutes, reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees and continue cooking for 1 1/2 to 2 hours for medium rare or until a thermometer inserted near the center of the roast reads 130 degrees. While the beef is cooking, periodically, CAREFULLY pour off the fat that has accumulated in the roasting pan into a heat proof container.
• Remove the roast from the oven and allow to stand for 20 minutes before carving.
• After the roast has rested for 20 minutes, transfer it to a large cutting board, being careful not to burn yourself. Lay the roast bonesidedown on the cutting board. Insert a sharp knife between the meat and the rib bones, separating the meat from the ribs in one large piece to slice the beef into boneless slices or simply carve into rib portions, each with a bone attached . Carve the boneless meat into 1/2-inch thick slices.

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.

PRIME RIB

Steps:

• Liberally season the prime rib with the salt and some pepper and refrigerate overnight.
• An hour before cooking, remove the roast from the refrigerator to allow it to come to room temperature.
• Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Put the reserved ribs in a roasting pan bowed-side up (the ribs will be acting as the roasting rack). Scatter any fat and meat trimmings in the pan around the bones. Roast the bones and trimmings for about 30 minutes, or until the fat starts to render.
• Remove the pan from the oven, put the rosemary sprigs on top of the bones, then top with the prime rib. Put the smashed garlic in the bottom of the pan with the trimmings. Baste the beef with the fat drippings and return the pan to the oven.
• Cook for 30 minutes and then baste the roast again.
• Reduce the heat to 350 degrees F and cook until the meat is medium rare (an internal temperature of 125 degrees F to 130 degrees F), about 1 hour, 15 minutes, basting the roast every 30 minutes until it is done. Keep in mind that the roast will continue to cook while resting.
• Remove the roast from the oven and put it on a cutting board to rest, uncovered, for 20 minutes. Slice the prime rib to the desired thickness and garnish with the arugula and olive oil.

SEAR-ROASTED RIB STEAK WITH GARLIC BUTTER

Steps:

• Chop the garlic finely. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon salt over the garlic and continue to chop it, occasionally smashing and smearing the garlic with the flat side of the knife, until the garlic becomes paste-like. (Alternatively, mash the garlic and salt together in a mortar and pestle.) Put the garlic paste, butter, thyme, and pepper in a small bowl. Fold the softened butter over and onto the garlic and thyme, mashing it down with the back of a spoon or spatula. Use a sheet of plastic wrap to help shape the butter into a log, wrap the log well with the plastic wrap, and refrigerate until ready to use. (The garlic butter can be made up to 3 days ahead; it can also be frozen, well wrapped, for a couple of months.)
• Melt half of the garlic-butter mixture in a small pan over medium heat. (Rewrap and save the other half for future use; it's great stuff under the skin of a chicken before roasting or tossing into the broth of steamed mussels.)
• Heat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• In a large ovenproof saute pan, heat the vegetable oil over high heat until very hot. Season the steaks with a little salt and pepper. Add the steaks to the pan and brown them well on 1 side, about 5 minutes. Turn the steaks and brush them liberally with the garlic butter. Finish cooking the steaks in the oven, brushing them occasionally with more garlic butter, until done, about another 5 minutes. (The time will vary depending on how you like your steaks cooked and how thick they are.) Remove the steaks from the oven and allow them to rest for 5 minutes before serving. Serve smaller steaks whole or sliced thinly across the grain. Cut larger steaks into 2 servings or into thin slices. Spoon any remaining juices from the pan onto the meat as well.

BEST BARBECUE RIBS EVER

Steps:

• Combine the brown sugar, chili powder, 1 tablespoon salt, 1 teaspoon black pepper, the oregano, cayenne, garlic powder and onion powder in a small bowl and rub the mixture on both sides of the ribs. Cover and refrigerate 1 hour or overnight.
• Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F. In a roasting pan, combine the broth and vinegar. Add the ribs to the pan. Cover with foil and tightly seal. Bake 2 hours. Remove the ribs from the pan and place them on a platter. Pour the liquid from the pan into a saucepan and bring to a boil. Lower the heat to a simmer and cook until reduced by half. Add the barbecue sauce.
• Preheat an outdoor grill to medium high. Put the ribs on the grill and cook about 5 minutes on each side, until browned and slightly charred. Cut the ribs between the bones and toss them in a large bowl with the sauce. Serve hot.
