Best Herb And Rib Eye Salad Recipes

CHAR-GRILLED RIB EYE WITH ROASTED SHALLOT AND HERB BUTTER

Steps:

• Take your steaks out of the fridge 30 minutes before you want to start grilling, so they can come to room temperature. Prepare the charcoal grill to medium-high heat on one side of your grill, and medium-low heat on the other. You will need just a few briquettes on the cooler side of the grill to maintain the low heat. (If using a gas grill, heat one side of the grill to medium-high heat and the other to low.)
• When the grill is hot and ready to go, brush the grill grates with some olive oil. Season the steaks generously with salt and pepper. Place the steaks on the hot side of the grill for 3 to 4 minutes, then flip and grill for another 4 minutes. Once the steaks have a nice caramelized crust, move them to the cooler part of the grill, and continue cooking for 6 to 7 minutes for medium rare, or 8 to 9 minutes for medium. Remove the steaks from grill, and tent loosely with foil to keep warm. Let the steaks rest for 5 minutes, so the juices can redistribute throughout the meat. Spread steaks with the roasted shallot and herb butter.
• GINA: Roasting the shallot gives it a deep, sweet flavor, and the lemon zest lightens the whole thing up. This butter would also be an excellent topping for fish or chicken.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Place the shallot on a square of foil, drizzle lightly with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Fold up the foil into a little packet, and place in the oven for 1 hour. Let cool completely. Pulse the roasted shallot and remaining ingredients in a food processor until combined but still coarse. Scrape the butter onto a piece of plastic wrap, spread it across lengthwise, and roll into a log. Twist the ends to seal. Place in the fridge to firm up for at least 35 minutes before serving.

GRILLED BONE-IN RIBEYE WITH HOMEMADE HERB BRUSH

Steps:

• Preheat the grill to medium-high (400 degrees F) and prepare half for indirect grilling. Remove the steaks from the refrigerator, pat them dry and let them sit at room temperature for 30 minutes before grilling.
• To make the herb brush: Starting with the basil, gather the herbs and work around the tip of an 8-inch-long metal skewer. Tie them tightly to the skewer with kitchen twine. Trim the ends of the kitchen twine so there are no long ends. Set aside until ready to grill.
• After the steaks have sat out for 30 minutes, brush both sides with the vegetable oil and season generously with salt and pepper. Transfer the meat to the hot side of the grill for 4 minutes. While the steak is grilling, melt the butter in a small cast iron skillet or saucepan on the grill. Flip the steaks after 4 minutes and baste with the butter, using the herb brush. Grill the steak for an additional 4 minutes.
• Transfer the steaks to the indirect heat side of the grill and baste with the butter and herb brush once again, being sure to leave about 2 tablespoons of the butter in the skillet and remove from the grill. Cook the steaks, undisturbed, over indirect heat until they register 125 to 130 degrees F with an instant read thermometer for medium-rare.
• In the meantime, finely chop the garlic on a large wood cutting board with a juice groove. Season the garlic with 1/2 teaspoon salt. Use the flat side of your knife to mash the garlic and salt together to create a paste. Pour the remaining butter from the skillet onto the cutting board. Use a fork to spread the mixture on the surface area of the board. Cut the kitchen twine from the herb brush and lay the herbs on top of the garlic mixture. Remove the steaks from the grill and rest them on top of the herbs and garlic mixture for 10 minutes before slicing.
• After 10 minutes, remove the bone from the steaks and slice against the grain. Place the meat on the herbs and serve directly from the seasoned cutting board.

GRILLED COWBOY RIB EYE WITH WATERCRESS SALAD

Steps:

• The night before, lightly sprinkle the steak on both sides with salt. Allow to sit, uncovered, in your fridge overnight.
• One hour prior to cooking, remove the steak from the fridge and allow to come to room temperature. Preheat a grill to medium-high heat.
• Sprinkle the steak on both sides with salt and pepper. It is important to use more seasoning than needed, as the steak is very thick and much of the seasoning will fall off during the cooking process.
• Grill the steak on one flat side, 5 to 8 minutes. Stand the steak up on one short side and grill for 1 to 2 minutes. Turn over and grill on the other flat side, 5 to 8 minutes. Stand it up on the opposite short side and grill for 1 to 2 minutes. Move the steak to the cooler part of the grill and cook until the internal temperature reaches 125 degrees F for medium rare. Transfer to a plate and allow to rest until the internal temperature registers 130 degrees F, about 20 minutes.
• Measure out 1 tablespoon of the steak juices that have settled onto the plate and put in a medium mixing bowl. Whisk in the mustard, shallots and vinegar. Toss the watercress in the dressing, along with the tarragon leaves and radish slices.
• Place the salad on a plate with the steak. Drizzle the steak with the olive oil and aged balsamic vinegar. Finish with the sea salt.

RIB-EYE STEAK WITH HERB BUTTER AND CHARRED PEPPERS

Steps:

• Lay the steak flat on a board; tie kitchen twine tightly around the sides (including the bone) to help the steak keep its shape during cooking.
• Grind the mushrooms in a spice grinder or blender; transfer to a bowl and mix with the garlic, balsamic vinegar, brown sugar, 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce, 1 1/2 tablespoons rosemary, the red pepper flakes and 2 teaspoons salt. Cut 8 deep slits about 1 inch apart all over the steak; fill each slit with some of the mushroom mixture, then rub the rest all over the meat. Transfer the steak to a plate, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate 2 to 4 hours. Remove from the refrigerator about 1 hour before grilling.
• Meanwhile, combine the butter, scallions, parsley, the remaining 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce and 1/2 tablespoon rosemary, and 1 teaspoon salt in a bowl. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
• Preheat a grill to medium high, then prepare for indirect heat: For gas, turn off the burners on one side. For charcoal, push the coals to one side. Brush the steak with the olive oil, then place on the cooler side of the grill (indirect heat). Cover and cook, turning occasionally, until a thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 110 degrees F to 120 degrees F, 20 to 30 minutes. Move the steak to the hotter side of the grill (direct heat) and cook until the thermometer registers 125 degrees F, 2 to 3 more minutes per side. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest 15 minutes, spreading with some of the herb butter.
• Meanwhile, grill the peppers over direct heat, turning, brushing with the lemon juice and seasoning with salt, until charred, 8 to 10 minutes. Top the steak with more herb butter and serve with the peppers.
