Blowout Rib Eye Recipes

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.

BLOWOUT RIB-EYE

Steps:

• Prepare a charcoal or gas grill for indirect cooking so that one section of the grate is quite hot and there is no heat under the other part. (Or put a dry cast-iron skillet in the oven and turn the heat to 325.) If the steak is floppy (and the butcher hasn't done it already), tie a string horizontally around it to help it cook evenly. Rub the meat and bone on all sides with salt and pepper, and let it come to room temperature.
• Put the steak on the cool side of the grill (or in the hot pan) so that the bone is toward the hot side. Cover, and cook until it releases evenly from the grates or pan and has an internal temperature of about 100 degrees, 5 to 15 minutes, depending on the thickness of the cut and the heat of the grill.
• Move the steak to the hot part of the grill, and cook, undisturbed, until it sears and releases easily, 2 to 5 minutes. (If indoors, transfer the skillet to the stove over medium-high heat.) Repeat with the other side, cooking it to one stage before your desired doneness. If you want truly rare, remove the steak when its interior measures 125 degrees, or even a little bit less; for medium-rare, 135 degrees is about right. Let the rib-eye rest on a surface that will capture any juices for at least 5 and up to 15 minutes.
• Remove the string if you used one, and cut away the bone. Slice as thickly or thinly as you like, and serve with the meat juices and any of the sauces.

BONELESS RIB EYE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Preheat a grill to high.
• To Prepare Steak:
• Combined all dry rub ingredients in a deep bowl, take steak and dredge in mixture, making sure dry rub covers entire steak. Then put steak on a hot grill about 4 minutes a side until slightly charred, at this point the steak will be rare. Put in oven to cook to desired temperature: 10 minutes for medium rare, 20 minutes for medium and 25 minutes for medium well.
• To assemble dish: Place steak on oval dish, topped steak with potatoes. Surround plate with chokes.
• Wash the potatoes well, then cut in quarters, and drop in boiling water for 15 minutes or until fork tender. Drain potatoes well. In a saute pan melt the butter. When bubbling add the potatoes. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Start smashing potatoes with a back of a fork until potatoes gather in the pan. Finish potatoes by topping them with sour cream, green onions and bacon.
• Preheat the oil in a fryer or a deep pot to 350 degrees F. Take artichoke hearts out of can, drain well, and toss in flour. Pat the excess flour off the chokes, and drop hearts in fryer oil and fry for about 2 minutes. Remove to a paper towel lined plate. Season with salt and pepper.

PAN-ROASTED RIB EYES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F. Season steaks generously with salt and pepper; let rest at room temperature for 30 minutes. Scatter thyme and rosemary sprigs evenly in bottom of a roasting pan; dot with 4 tablespoons butter.
• Melt 1 tablespoon butter with 1 tablespoon oil in a large heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium and add 1 steak to skillet. Cook until seared and golden brown on all sides (including edges), 2-3 minutes per side. Transfer steak to prepared roasting pan. Pour out oil and wipe skillet with paper towels. Repeat with remaining 1 tablespoon butter, 1 tablespoon oil, and steak.
• Roast steaks in oven, turning halfway through cooking and basting frequently with herb butter in pan, until an instant-read thermometer inserted into steak registers 125°F for medium-rare, about 20 minutes, or to desired doneness.
• Transfer steaks to a cutting board. Drizzle 1 tablespoon herb butter from roasting pan over each steak and let rest for 10 minutes. Slice against the grain and divide among plates. Don't forget to set out the bones for those who like to gnaw on them. Serve with Béarnaise Sauce.

SKILLET RIB EYE STEAKS

Steps:

• Place steaks on a plate and pat dry with paper towels; season both sides generously with salt and pepper. Reserve half the rosemary; sprinkle the remaining evenly over top of each steak, pressing to adhere. Let come to room temperature, 20 to 30 minutes.
• Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium, then add oil and garlic. When oil is hot but not smoking, push garlic to the edge of pan and add steaks, rosemary side up. Cook steaks until a dark-brown crust forms on the bottom, about 5 minutes. Turn with tongs and cook 3 to 4 minutes more for medium-rare (remove garlic once it begins to turn brown). Transfer steaks to a cutting board to rest 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, add reserved rosemary to the skillet; once it begins to sizzle, stir to coat with the oil and, tilting skillet to collect oil, spoon it over the steaks. Slice steaks by cutting parallel to the bone on the diagonal.

EASY RIB EYE ROAST

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 500 degrees F (260 degrees C).
• Beat butter and garlic together in a bowl. Poke several holes in roast with a sharp knife. Rub butter mixture all over roast and season meat with salt and black pepper. Place roast, fat-side up, in a roasting pan.
• Roast in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, reduce heat to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C), and continue cooking until roast is reddish-pink and juicy in the center, 1 1/2 to 2 hours. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).

REALLY OLD-FASHIONED MARINATED RIB-EYE

Steps:

• Combine wine and sugar in a large pot and bring to boil; lower heat and simmer for 10 minutes. Stir in cloves, nutmeg, cinnamon and orange zest, and remove pan from heat to cool.
• Put steaks in a large baking dish and pour marinade over them. Marinate steaks in refrigerator for at least several hours and up to three days.
• Take steaks out of the marinade, season with salt and pepper, and cook them in a very hot skillet, about 2 minutes each side for medium rare. (You can grill or broil them if you prefer.) Slice the meat about 1/4-inch thick and serve.
