Pan Seared Rib Eye Steaks With Cowboy Coffee Pan Blend Recipes

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.

PAN-FRIED RIB-EYE STEAK

Steps:

• Up to 8 hrs before cooking, pat the steaks dry with kitchen paper and season with salt and pepper. Heat the oil over a high flame in a heavy-based frying pan that will comfortably fit both steaks. When the oil is shimmering, turn the heat down to medium-high and add the butter. Once it's sizzling, carefully lay the steaks in the pan, tucking the garlic and herbs in at the sides.
• Stand over the steaks with a pair of tongs, searing and turning them every 30 seconds to 1 min so they get a nice brown crust. As a rough guide, each steak will take 4 mins in total for rare, 5-6 mins in total for medium and 8-10 mins for well done. If you have a digital cooking thermometer, the temperatures you're looking for in middle of the steak are 50C for rare, 60C for medium and 70C for well done. Leave the steaks to rest for at least 5 mins. While the steaks are resting, you can make a classic red wine sauce to go with them.

COWBOY STEAK WITH COFFEE RUB (PAN ROASTED RIB EYE)

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 350-degrees F.
• Put all the ingredients for the coffee rub in a bowl. Whisk together until well combined and uniform.
• Transfer your coffee rub to a jar with a good lid. You'll use some for this recipe, and will have enough to have some leftover for next time.
• Rub your steak liberally on all sides with your coffee rub. This is imprecise. Use enough to coat it well.
• Grab a heavy-bottomed, oven-safe frying pan. Cast iron is ideal for this. Oven-safe is important because you're going from stove to oven in one pan.
• Drizzle a little olive oil in the pan, enough to coat the bottom of the pan lightly. Set it on the stove over high heat. When the oil is hot (it'll shimmer), set your seasoned cowboy steak in the pan.
• Cook on high heat, without moving or flipping it, for about 4 minutes, or until it's developed a nice dark brown crust on that side.
• When your steak has a nice crust on the bottom, flip it over. Sear it for about another 4 minutes on this side, or until it has a matching brown crust.
• When it's browned on the other side, remove the pan from the stove. Slide the hot pan straight into your preheated, 350-degree F oven. (Be careful, everything about this situation is HOT, HOT, HOT!)
• Roast your cowboy steak for 5-15 minutes, depending on how thick your steak is and how rare you'd like it cooked. (For rare, pull it out of the oven when it reaches an internal temperature of 120 degrees F on a meat thermometer.)
• When it's done to your liking, remove the pan from the oven and set it on a rack.
• Transfer the steak to a plate immediately.
• Tent with a piece of aluminum foil for 5-10 minutes to let the meat rest, which helps keep it juicy.
• After it's rested, plate your steak up and serve! You can choose to serve it as one giant hunk o' meat, or slice it for a fancier presentation (which also makes sharing easier). Enjoy!

PAN SEARED RIB-EYE STEAKS WITH COWBOY COFFEE PAN BLEND

Steps:

• To prepare the coffee blend, combine all the ingredients in a jar with a tight-fitting lid. Shake well.
• To prepare the steaks, preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Season each steak with the coffee blend, evenly coating all sides and edges. Heat the oil in a large heavy skillet over high heat until just to the smoking point. Add as many steaks to the pan as will fit without overcrowding and sear well, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer the steaks to a baking sheet and repeat with the remaining steaks. Place the steaks in the oven and cook for 5 to 10 minutes for medium rare. Let stand for at least 5 minutes before serving. Or finish on the grill.

PAN-SEARED STEAK AND ONIONS

Steps:

• In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of the butter with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden, about 15 minutes. Transfer the onions to a bowl and set aside.
• Generously season both sides of the steak with salt and pepper. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of the oil to the skillet and fry the steak over medium heat, turning once, until browned, about 6 minutes per side for medium. Transfer the steak to a serving platter and cover to keep warm.
• Add the bourbon to the skillet and, over medium heat, scrape up any bits that cling to the pan. Allow the liquor to simmer until reduced by half, about 1 minute. Add the onions and the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and stir until the butter is melted. Reduce the heat and gently simmer until the onions are heated through, about 2 minutes. Season, to taste, with salt and pepper and stir in any juices that have run off from the steak.
• To serve, cut the steak into 1/4-inch-thick slices and top with the onions.

SEARED RIB EYE, TOMATO PAN SAUCE

Steps:

• For the sauce: In a saute pan, add the tomatoes, barbeque sauce, cranberry juice and celery seeds. Warm over medium-low heat to blend the flavors, about 5 minutes. Once warmed, remove from the heat, and the Worcestershire sauce and puree in a blender, with the vent removed, until smooth. Then return to the pan and bring to a simmer over medium-low heat. Once simmering, remove from the heat and whisk in some butter. Hold warm in the pan until serving.
• For the steaks: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the oil until hot, 2 to 3 minutes. Then add the onions and seasoning blend, stirring with a wooden spoon until the onions are translucent and slightly browned on the edges, 8 to 10 minutes. After caramelizing the onions, sprinkle the steaks with salt and pepper on both sides. Then add to the skillet and sear on both sides, 5 to 6 minutes.
• Once seared, remove the onions from the skillet and finish the steaks in the oven to desired temperature. They will be medium-rare to medium with oven cooking. Once the steaks are finished, sauce each plate with 1 to 2 ounces of sauce. Place steaks in center and finish with the onions.

PAN ROASTED COWBOY RIBEYE WITH CREAMED SWISS CHARD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Take a cast iron pan and set over medium-high heat. Add a 2-count of olive oil and add rosemary and thyme. The herbs will begin to crackle as the oil heats up and the oil will be infused with the flavor. Remove the herbs from the pan and place onto a paper towel lined plate. Season the rib eyes well with salt and pepper and add to pan and brown for approximately 4 minutes. Turn the rib eye over and place the whole pan into the preheated oven, on the bottom shelf, for another 12 minutes for medium-rare. Add another 2 minutes for medium.
• Place a saute pan over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil and butter. Once the butter has melted, add the garlic, thyme and rosemary leaves, and the panko and stir to combine. Once the bread crumbs are toasted, season with salt and pepper.
• Place a saucepan of cream with bay leaves, rosemary, thyme and garlic over medium heat and simmer until reduced and thick. Blanch leaves in some salted boiling water until wilted. Remove the Swiss chard from the water and allow it to drain in a strainer. Push any excess water out of the Swiss chard using some paper towels. Set aside to dry at room temperature.
• When ready, remove herbs and garlic from cream and fold in the Swiss chard. Add Parmesan, to taste, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
• Once steaks are done, remove from the oven and allow to rest for 5 minutes. Serve on a plate and top steak with creamed Swiss chard. Garnish with the toasted bread crumbs, lemon juice, and season with salt.

PAN-SEARED RIB-EYE WITH FRENCH ONION CONFIT

Steps:

• For the onion confit: Heat a large enameled cast-iron pot over medium heat. Add the butter; when it begins to foam, add the red onions, marjoram, thyme, bay leaves and sugar, and sprinkle liberally with salt. When the onions begin to caramelize, add the red wine and balsamic vinegar and reduce to dry. Reduce the heat to medium-low and add 1 cup of the beef stock; cook until reduced to a glaze. Repeat until all the beef stock has been used. Turn off the heat and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper.
• For the rib-eye: Heat a 12-inch cast-iron skillet over high heat; add the oil. Pat the steak dry with paper towels, and sprinkle liberally with salt and pepper. When the oil is just below smoking, place the steak into the pan. Once a nice sear has developed, flip the steak and add the butter, thyme and garlic. If the garlic or steak begins to burn, reduce the heat. Cook, basting the steak with the bubbling butter, until an internal temperature of 125 degrees F has been reached for medium-rare. Remove the steak to a cutting board and let rest for 7 to 10 minutes before slicing. Serve with the French onion confit.
• Place the potatoes in a large pot, cover with room temperature water and season liberally with salt. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce to a simmer and cook until fork tender. Drain the potatoes, saving 1/2 cup of the cooking water for thinning out if needed.
• Pass the potatoes through a food mill into a large bowl. Add the butter and heavy cream, and fold together with a spatula until combined. Fold in the shredded cheese. If the potatoes get too thick, thin them out with a little of the cooking water. Add salt and pepper to taste. Serve garnished with chives and a drizzle of olive oil.

PAN SEARED VEAL RIB EYES WITH PROSCIUTTO AND FONTINA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 170 degrees F. Grease a baking sheet with 2 tablespoons olive oil.
• Pound the steaks to 1/2-inch thickness over plastic wrap. Sprinkle each with salt and pepper and place on the prepared baking sheet. Bake until it reaches an internal temperature of 80 degrees F, about 10 minutes.
• In 2 large saute pans over medium-high heat, divide the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil and the bacon fat between the pans and heat until shimmering. Add 2 steaks to each pan and cook for 3 to 4 minutes per side. Place the steaks onto a wire rack over a baking sheet. Top with fontina and then the prosciutto slices, evenly covering the cheese.
• Adjust the oven to low broil and place the pan in the oven. Broil until the prosciutto is crisp, about 5 minutes. Remove and allow to rest 5 minutes, lightly covered with foil.
• In each saute pan, evenly divide the shallots and cook for 2 to 3 minutes. Deglaze each with half the beef stock. Evenly divide the thyme and allow to reduce, 3 to 4 minutes. Combine the liquid into 1 pan, add the butter and adjust the seasoning, if desired.
• Serve the steaks drizzled with the pan sauce and garnish with the parsley.

COWBOY RIB-EYE STEAK

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees with rack in center position.
• Pat steak dry thoroughly with paper towels.
• In a spice grinder, combine cumin, coriander, and peppercorns. Pulse until coarsely ground and transfer to a medium bowl. Add salt, paprika, brown sugar, oregano, and garlic and mix until combined.
• Rub steak on all sides with spice mixture and let stand at room temperature for 3 to 4 hours or up to overnight in the refrigerator. If marinating in refrigerator, remove 1 hour before cooking to bring steak to room temperature.
• Heat a large cast-iron pan over medium-high heat. Sear steak on both sides until blackened, 8 to 10 minutes total. Transfer to oven and roast 15 to 20 minutes or until a meat thermometer inserted into center of steak registers 125 degrees for medium-rare.
• Transfer steak to a carving board and let stand at least 15 minutes before slicing and serving.
