Best Boneless Rib Eye Steaks With Killa Chimichurri And Mountains Of Mushrooms With Smoky Chipotle And Wilted Spinach Recipes

RIB-EYE STEAKS THAT ARE SUPERB

Steps:

• Remove steaks from the refrigerator and let them sit for about 30 minutes to take the chill out of the meat.
• Now, coat both sides generously with coarse black pepper and granulated garlic powder.
• Heat an iron skillet or a heavy bottomed frying pan until very hot on high heat.
• For each steak, sprinkle onto the skillet, 3/4 teaspoon of coarse salt and allow salt to heat up for at least 1 minute.
• Place the steaks on the coarse salt and cook for 3 minutes; DO NOT DISTURB at all, DO NOT LOOK or even move the steaks.
• Turn the steaks over and cook for an additional 3 minutes; again DO NOT DISTURB at all.
• The cooking time of 6 minutes gives you a medium-rare steak; DO NOT OVERCOOK.
• If you desire to cook it to medium, then cook for an additional 30 seconds to 1 minute per side.
• Remove steaks to a plate, cover with foil and let rest for 5 minutes, so that all juices are absorbed by the meat.
• Scrape off any excess coarse pepper and salt if desired and discard.
• I prefer to slice the steaks on an angle about 1/4 inch to 3/8 inch thickness.
• Serve with freshly processed horseradish.
• NOTE; Make sure that the heat is on as HIGH as possible without burning at all times during cooking the steaks. This will vary depending on your cooktop.
• Do not use ordinary table salt.
• Beef Tenderloin steaks are also real great cooked in this manner. If using a steak thicker than 1 inch, add 1 extra minute per side for medium-rare.

RIB-EYE STEAK AND POTATOES FOR TWO

Steps:

• Season steak generously with salt and pepper. Sprinkle with sliced garlic and rosemary and set aside to marinate, 20 to 30 minutes.
• Heat oven to 450 degrees. Meanwhile, bring a pot of well-salted water to a boil. Add potatoes and cook at a brisk simmer until just done, 10 to 15 minutes. Drain and keep warm.
• Heat a cast-iron or other heavy skillet over high heat. Remove and discard sliced garlic from steak. (If left on, it will burn in the skillet.)
• When pan is hot, put in the steak and let brown well on one side, 4 to 5 minutes. Wait until steak forms a crust and comes away cleanly from the bottom to move it.
• Flip steak and transfer pan to oven, uncovered. Roast until juices begin to rise on surface of steak (you will see the droplets) and internal temperature is 120 degrees, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove steak from pan and let rest, tented with foil, for 5 to 10 minutes. (Residual heat will continue to cook the meat to medium-rare as it rests.) Warm a serving bowl for the potatoes and plates for the steak.
• Melt butter in a wide skillet over medium-high heat. Add potatoes and toss to coat and heat through. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Add minced garlic and cook, stirring, until softened but not browned, 1 minute or less. Gently stir in parsley and lemon zest and transfer to serving bowl.
• Cutting on a slight diagonal, slice steak into 1/2-inch slices, then transfer to plates. If using, place a handful of greens next to the steak. Serve immediately, passing potatoes at the table.
