Grilled Rib Eye Steaks With Smoked Paprika Rub Recipes

GRILLED RIB-EYE STEAKS WITH SMOKED PAPRIKA RUB

Steps:

• 1. Preheat a grill with a high heat for direct grilling . Mix the honey, paprika, lemon juice, and garlic in a small bowl, season with 1 teaspoon salt and pepper. Add 1 tablespoon oil and mix well. Rub the mixture all over the steak, set aside for 15 minutes.
• 2. Meanwhile, toss the zucchini, squash, and tomatoes in the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil. Season with 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Grill the vegetables, turning often to ensure even cooking, until lightly charred and soft, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer to a serving dish and keep warm.
• 3. Lightly oil the grill grates. Grill the steaks over direct heat until nicely marked, about 2 minutes on each side for medium-rare. Let the steaks rest for 5 minutes. Serve steak with the vegetables.

GRILLED RIBEYE STEAKS AND POTATOES WITH SMOKY PAPRIKA RUB

Steps:

• Combine seasoning ingredients in small bowl; remove and reserve 2 tablespoons. Press remaining seasoning evenly onto beef steaks; set aside.
• Combine reserved seasoning, oil and salt in large bowl. Add potatoes; toss to coat.
• Place steaks on grill over medium, ash-covered coals; arrange potatoes around steaks. Grill steaks, covered, 10 -14 minutes (over medium heat on preheated gas grill, 9 - 14 minutes) for medium rare (145°F) to medium (160°F) doneness, turning occasionally.
• Grill potatoes 14 - 17 minutes (over medium heat on preheated gas grill, 13 -15 minutes) or until tender, turning occasionally.
• Carve steaks into slices; season with salt, as desired. Sprinkle green onion over potatoes. Serve potatoes with Sour Cream and Onion Sauce for dipping, if desired.
• Sour Cream and Onion Sauce: Combine sour cream and green onion. Sprinkle with smoked or Spanish paprika, as desired.

DRY-RUBBED RIB EYE STEAK RESTAURANT STYLE

Steps:

• Combine all the spices in a bowl. Stir to evenly distribute all the ingredients. If you want to monitor the amount of salt, combine all the spices except the salt in a bowl. Add 1 tablespoon Kosher salt and stir. Taste the rub and then gradually add more salt to taste.
• Rub the outside of each steak on all sides generously with the rub and store any leftovers in an airtight container. Wrap each steak in plastic wrap two times, and refrigerate up to 24 hours (my preference) or at most 3 days. This makes the steak taste aged.
• Preheat a gas or charcoal grill until hot. Brush the grill to remove any left over food, then oil the grill. Remove the steaks from the refrigerator about 20 to 30 minutes before cooking and let them come to room temperature. Just before cooking, remove the plastic wrap and lightly oil the steaks with extra-virgin olive oil.
• Place the steaks on a very hot grill and char both sides of the steaks, a few minutes per side. When the outsides of the steaks have become well seared, move the steaks to a cooler part of the grill to continue cooking for 6 to 7 minutes per side for medium rare.
• Remove steaks from the grill and let rest in a warm spot for 7 to 8 minutes. Cut the steak off the bone and slice on the bias across the grain in slices to the thickness you prefer, up to 1 inch thick. Add the bone to the serving plate if you have folks who will appreciate it. If desired, drizzle the meat with extra-virgin olive oil. Serve immediately.

PAN-SEARED RIB EYE STEAK WITH SMOKED PAPRIKA RUB

Steps:

• Bring the steak to room temperature.
• Mix all spices and oil into a thick paste. Rub spice rub mixture onto both sides of the steak.
• Optional: If you have the time, wrap the steak with plastic wrap and allow to sit for 15 minutes or longer at room temperature.
• Put a 10 to 12-inch cast iron skillet in the oven, and heat oven to 500 degrees. When the oven thermometer indicates that it has reached 500 degrees, remove the pan from the oven (do not turn oven off). Transfer quickly to a stovetop burner on high heat.
• Immediately place the steak in the middle of the pan. Cook for 30 seconds without moving. Flip with tongs and cook for 30 seconds on the second side. Quickly remove the pan from the heat and place into the oven. Cook for two minutes on each side for a medium rare steak, or three minutes on each side for a medium steak.
• Transfer steak to a wooden cutting board and make a loose tent of aluminum foil over it. Allow it to rest for a few minutes before serving.
