Porcini Rubbed Rib Eye Recipes

PORCINI-RUBBED BEEF RIB ROAST

Steps:

• Pulse mushrooms, kosher salt, peppercorns, and marjoram in a spice mill or mini food processor until coarsely ground. Pat meat dry, then rub mushroom mixture all over. Transfer to a wire rack set inside a rimmed baking sheet. Let sit at room temperature 1 hour (for even more flavor, chill, uncovered, overnight, then let sit at room temperature 1 hour before roasting).
• Preheat oven to 225°F. Roast meat until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center registers 120°F (for medium-rare), about 4 hours. Tent with foil and let sit at room temperature at least 30 minutes and up to 1 hour.
• Increase oven temperature to 500°F. Remove foil and roast meat until browned and crisp, 5-10 minutes. Immediately transfer to a cutting board. Cut off ribs in 1 piece, then slice into individual ribs. Carve roast into 1/2" slices and arrange on a serving platter along with ribs. Season with sea salt and serve with Horseradish-Yogurt Sauce, if desired.
• Do Ahead
• Rub can be made 1 day ahead; store in an airtight container at room temperature.

PORCINI-RUBBED RIB OF BEEF

Steps:

• Tip the porcini mushrooms into a food processor and blitz to a powder. Put the beef in a roasting tin and rub all over with the porcini powder, smoked salt and plenty of freshly ground black pepper, do this at least 24 hrs before cooking. Cover loosely and place in the fridge overnight.
• Remove the beef from the fridge at least 3 hrs before you want to cook it. Heat oven to 140C/120C fan/gas 2. Uncover the beef and cook for 1 hr 20 mins.
• Turn the oven up to 220C/200C fan/gas 7 and cook for another 25 mins for medium rare until the fat is blistered and browned. If you have a meat thermometer, the core temperature should be 55C for rare, 65C for medium and 75C for well done (bear in mind that the beef will keep cooking and the temperature will continue to rise slightly as it sits). Leave to rest under a piece of foil for at least 20 mins and serve with our bone marrow stuffing, sautéed wild mushrooms and umami gravy.

PAN-SEARED RIB-EYE STEAKS WITH PORCINI AND ROSEMARY RUB

Steps:

• Place steaks and soy sauce in large resealable plastic bag. Seal bag, releasing excess air; turn to coat. Let steaks marinate at room temperature 2 hours, turning occasionally.
• Process porcini mushrooms in spice mill to fine powder. Mix 1 1/2 tablespoons mushroom powder, rosemary, and pepper in small bowl (reserve any remaining powder for another use).
• Drain steaks; pat dry. Sprinkle mushroom-rosemary rub generously over both sides of steaks, pressing to adhere.

RIB-EYE STEAKS WITH PORCINI RUB
