Best Drunken Ribeye Recipes

BOURBON STREET RIB-EYE STEAK

Steps:

• Whisk together the water, bourbon whiskey, soy sauce, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, and lemon juice in a bowl, and pour into a plastic zipper bag. Add the rib-eye steaks, coat with the marinade, squeeze out excess air, and seal the bag. Marinate in the refrigerator for 8 hours or overnight.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat, and lightly oil the grate.
• Remove the rib-eye steaks from the marinade, and shake off excess. Discard the remaining marinade. Grill the steaks on high, 1 to 2 minutes per side, to sear the meat. Move the steaks to a cooler part of the grill and cook for an additional 2 to 3 minutes per side, if desired.

DRUNK'N STEAK

Steps:

• Choose your favorite cut of meat. In my family we use chuck because it is very inexpensive and badly NEEDS tenderizing.
• Take a small-tipped paring knife and puncture the meat on both sides several times. Doing this helps get flavor into the meat, not just on the surface.
• Place the meat in a glass pan. (I've never seen it, but I have heard that acidic liquids can do damage to your metal cookware.)
• In another bowl, mix one part rum (We use Captain Morgan's Spiced Rum, though the Coconut one is really good too.) to two parts cola (don't use Pepsi because it is too sweet).
• Pour the mixture over your meat (make sure that the meat is covered by the liquid). Cover and let sit for at least two hours in the refrigerator. Make sure to turn the meat at least once.
• We usually have some grilled vegetables with this as well. Choose your favorite summer vegetables and place on a sheet of buttered aluminum foil, leave half of the foil sheet empty so it can be used to created a packet. On top of the vegetables place one tablespoon of margarine or butter, and one cube of ice. Sprinkle garlic salt, onion powder, and rotiserrie chicken seasoning over the vegetables. Fold uncovered part of foil over the vegetables to form a packet and seal.
• Get your grill nice and hot and place vegetable packets on. Pull the meat from the refrigerator. Take meat out of the marinade and place on a plate. Rub a small amount of freshly ground pepper and salt into the meat.
• Put meat on the grill...mix yourself a rum and coke and use a little of it to keep the flames off of the meat.
• Cooking time depends on your grill. The steaks can also be done in the kitchen but are so much more fun out in the yard.
• Enjoy one of my families favorites and have a great summer.
• Happy eating.

HOUSTON'S HAWAIIAN RIBEYE

Steps:

• Add soy sauce, garlic, brown sugar, pineapple juice and apple cider vinegar to a small pot. Bring to a boil then simmer over low heat for 2 minutes. Remove from heat and pour the marinade into a large shallow dish (to marinate steaks later). Set aside until it's cooled, or to speed up the process, cover and place it in the fridge until it's cool.
• Add steak into the dish with marinade. Cover and place in fridge for 1 hour. Flip sides and cover for another 1 hour in the fridge. I prefer to marinate over night.
• 20 minutes before starting the grill, take dish with steaks out (still covered) to cool to room temperature. Heat grill.
• Heat grill to high and grill steaks for 5 minutes. Flip and continue to grill for 4 minutes (for medium-rare to medium). Use an internal thermometer (135F for medium-rare and 140F for medium). Transfer steaks to a platter and tent with foil to let rest for 5 minutes. Grill some pineapple slices along with the steaks for garnish.

PAN-SEARED RIB-EYE

Steps:

• Remove the steaks from the fridge at least 15 minutes before cooking.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• In a small bowl, mix together the sugar, garlic powder, pimenton, cayenne and 1 teaspoon salt. Drizzle the steaks with olive oil to lightly coat. Coat the steaks with the spice rub on all sides.
• Heat a large cast-iron pan over high heat. Add the butter and let melt. Add the steaks and cook, turning to cook on all sides, until richly browned, about 10 minutes. Meanwhile, add the thyme bundle and garlic cut-side down. If the pan seems dry, add more butter. Tilt the pan to spoon the butter over the steaks as they cook. Once the steaks are browned and basted on all sides, place them on a sheet pan fitted with a wire rack. Transfer to the oven and cook through to desired temperature. I like my steaks medium rare! Allow the steaks to rest and the juices to settle at least 10 minutes before slicing.
• Meanwhile, lower the heat to medium-low under the pan and add the onion rings. Allow to char on both sides, flipping once after about 1 minute. Set aside.
• To a medium bowl, add the arugula, lemon juice and olive oil to lightly coat. Season with salt and pepper. Add the charred onion and toss.
• Remove the meat from the bone and slice into 1- to 3/4-inch slices. Lay the steak on a serving platter with the bone on top and garnish with the arugula onion salad. Serve!
