DRY-RUBBED RIB-EYE

Steps:

• Combine all of the dry ingredients in a bowl. Use your fingers to make sure that all of the ingredients are evenly distributed. Rub the outside of each steak generously with the rub. Wrap each steak in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 24 hours, 2 to 3 days is better. This will make the steak taste like it has been aged.
• Preheat a gas or charcoal grill. Brush and oil the grill to loosen and remove any crud. Remove the steaks from the refrigerator about 20 to 30 minutes before cooking. Right before cooking remove the plastic wrap and lightly oil the steaks. Place the steaks on a very hot grill to put a char on both sides of the steak. When both sides of the steak have become well charred move the steak to a cooler part of the grill to continue cooking for 6 to 7 minutes per side for medium rare. Remove the steak from the grill and let rest in a warm spot for 7 to 8 minutes. Cut the steak off the bone and slice on the bias across the grain. Drizzle with extra-virgin olive oil and serve immediately.

GRILLED DRY-RUBBED RIB-EYE STEAKS

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine pimenton, garlic powder, oregano, coriander, 2 tablespoons salt, and 2 teaspoons pepper. Generously season both sides of steaks with mixture. Rub both sides of each steak with olive oil. Let stand on a rimmed baking sheet at least 30 minutes and up to 1 hour.
• Preheat grill to medium-high; clean and lightly oil grates. Grill steaks, rotating once, until well-browned on outsides and cooked to desired doneness, 6 to 7 minutes per side for medium-rare (about 125 degrees on an instant-read thermometer). Transfer to a platter; loosely cover with parchment-lined foil. Let stand at least 15 and up to 30 minutes.
• Toss scallions in a bowl with olive oil; season with salt and pepper. Grill over medium-high, turning, until lightly charred in places and tender, 4 to 5 minutes. Slice steaks against the grain and serve with charred scallions.

DRY-RUBBED RIB EYE STEAK RESTAURANT STYLE

Steps:

• Combine all the spices in a bowl. Stir to evenly distribute all the ingredients. If you want to monitor the amount of salt, combine all the spices except the salt in a bowl. Add 1 tablespoon Kosher salt and stir. Taste the rub and then gradually add more salt to taste.
• Rub the outside of each steak on all sides generously with the rub and store any leftovers in an airtight container. Wrap each steak in plastic wrap two times, and refrigerate up to 24 hours (my preference) or at most 3 days. This makes the steak taste aged.
• Preheat a gas or charcoal grill until hot. Brush the grill to remove any left over food, then oil the grill. Remove the steaks from the refrigerator about 20 to 30 minutes before cooking and let them come to room temperature. Just before cooking, remove the plastic wrap and lightly oil the steaks with extra-virgin olive oil.
• Place the steaks on a very hot grill and char both sides of the steaks, a few minutes per side. When the outsides of the steaks have become well seared, move the steaks to a cooler part of the grill to continue cooking for 6 to 7 minutes per side for medium rare.
• Remove steaks from the grill and let rest in a warm spot for 7 to 8 minutes. Cut the steak off the bone and slice on the bias across the grain in slices to the thickness you prefer, up to 1 inch thick. Add the bone to the serving plate if you have folks who will appreciate it. If desired, drizzle the meat with extra-virgin olive oil. Serve immediately.

DRY RUBBED RIB EYE WITH MUSHROOM SAUCE

Steps:

• For the steak: Combine all the dry ingredients in a bowl. Use your fingers to make sure that all of the ingredients are evenly distributed. Rub the outside of each steak generously with the rub. Let sit for a few minutes.
• Preheat a saute pan or cast iron skillet over high heat.
• Lightly oil the steaks. Place the steaks in a very hot pan and get a good sear on both sides. Cook for 6 to 7 minutes per side for medium-rare.
• Remove the steak from the pan and let rest in a warm spot for 7 to 8 minutes.
• For the mushroom sauce: Drain the fat from the pan. Add the shallots and bring the pan to a medium heat and season with salt. Cook the shallots for 3 to 4 minutes and add in the garlic. Cook the garlic and shallots together for 2 to 3 minutes.
• Add the mushrooms, season with salt, and stir to coat with oil. Cook the mushrooms until they look soft and wilted, 4 to 5 minutes.
• Add the brandy and cook until it has reduced by half.
• Add the veal demi-glaze. Bring to a boil and reduce to a simmer and simmer for 4 to 5 minutes; the consistency should be almost as thick as gravy. If it is still thin, let it simmer for another couple of minutes until it does thicken.
• Check the consistency by coating a spoon with the sauce, turn the spoon over and draw a line down the middle of the spoon with your finger. If your finger leaves a track down the spoon without moving, then it is ready! Taste and adjust the salt, if needed.
• Slice the steak on the bias across the grain leaving a few bites of meat on the bone. Serve slices and meat on the bone over Crispy Smashed Potatoes and top with mushroom sauce. Serve with Glazed Carrots on the side.
• Place the potatoes in a saucepan filled with cold water. Salt the water. Bring the potatoes to a boil over medium-high heat. Cook until just tender, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain the potatoes.
• Heat the olive oil in a pan with high sides over high heat. Stir in the garlic and cook for 1 minute. Stir in the crushed red pepper. Add the potatoes and saute until beginning to brown. Lightly smash the potatoes and flip them to brown the other side. Season with salt and keep warm.
• Bring a pot of well-salted water to a boil. Set up a bowl of well-salted ice water. Blanch the carrots in the boiling water. When they are cooked but still have some crunch, plunge them immediately into the ice water. When cool, use a clean tea towel to rub the skin off the carrots. Reserve.
• To a large skillet add the butter, sugar, lemon juice, garlic, thyme, cayenne and about 1/2 cup water. Bring the pan to medium heat, swirling occasionally. When most of the water has reduced and the mixture seems homogenous, remove the garlic and add the carrots and stir until they are coated. Cook until the carrots are completely coated and hot, another 2 to 3 minutes.

DRY RUBBED BONE-IN RIB EYE

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine the salt, brown sugar, red pepper, pimentón, garlic powder, and cumin. Rub the outside of each steak generously and evenly with the rub (if there's leftover rub, save it for your next steak). Wrap each rubbed steak in plastic and refrigerate for at least 24 hours.
• Preheat a grill.
• Remove the steaks from the fridge 20 to 30 minutes before you're ready to cook to allow them to come to room temperature. Remove the plastic wrap.
• Place the steaks on the grill and char them well over medium-high heat, 3 to 4 minutes per side, until they're really nicely browned. Move the steaks to a cooler part of the grill and continue cooking for another 3 to 4 minutes per side for medium rare. Remove the steaks from the grill and let them rest somewhere warm for 8 to 10 minutes.
• Cut the meat off the bone and slice it on the bias across the grain. Arrange the sliced steak and the bone on a serving plate and drizzle with big fat finishing oil to serve.
• ANNE ALERT!
• I like to give this steak twenty-four hours to really absorb the lovely flavors of the rub, but if you're in a hurry, even a couple hours will do.

DRY-RUBBED RIB-EYE WITH CHILI LOBSTER

Steps:

• For the steak: Preheat a convection oven to 400 degrees F.
• Mix together the salt and brown sugar and the porcini, chile de arbol and garlic powders in a bowl, using your fingers to make sure all the ingredients are evenly distributed. Rub the steak generously on all sides with the spice rub. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap and leave to sit at room temperature for 20 minutes.
• Preheat a cast-iron pan over high heat. When the pan is hot, add enough olive oil to coat the bottom. Unwrap the steak and add it to the pan; cook until well charred on all sides. Remove the steak to a baking sheet, transfer to the oven and roast until medium-rare, about 6 minutes. Allow the steak to rest for 4 to 5 minutes, then cut the steak off the bone and slice it across the grain, on the bias.
• For the chili lobster: Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the coriander, celery, halved garlic head, lemon, thyme, white wine and a good amount of salt.
• Add the lobster and poach for 6 minutes. Remove the lobster to a baking sheet to cool.
• In a large saute pan, add enough oil to coat the bottom. Add the 5 garlic cloves, chili paste and some salt and cook over medium heat until the garlic turns golden brown and the mixture fragrant.
• Pull the claws off the lobster and set aside. Set the body upside down on a cutting board and slice the entire lobster in half lengthwise. Discard the contents inside the head and body cavities, leaving the tail meat intact. Remove the meat from the claws and add it to the garlic-chili sauce; cook just until the meat is warmed through. Remove the meat from the pan and set aside. Place the lobster halves cut-side down in the sauce and sear for 1 to 2 minutes. Remove the lobster to a plate. With the pan off the heat, stir in the parsley.
• In a small bowl mix together the arugula, red onion and a tablespoon of the garlic-chili sauce from the pan. Season with salt and toss to coat.
• Assembly: Place some of the arugula reserved for garnish on one side of a serving platter and lay the sliced steak over it. Pour any meat juices from the baking sheet over the steak. Arrange the lobster halves on the other side of the platter and fill the cavities with some of the arugula salad. Top with the warmed claw meat and pour a couple tablespoons of the garlic-chili sauce over the lobster.
• Drizzle both steak and lobster with big fat finishing oil (extra-virgin olive oil).

DRY RUBBED BISON SMOKED RIB-EYE WITH BLACKBERRY SOY BALSAMIC SAUCE, GRILLED BROCCOLI RABE AND GRILLED MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Combine the salt, pepper and garlic powder in a small bowl. Liberally coat the rib-eyes with the seasoning and set aside.
• Set up a smoker on the stove top by adding the wood chips and tea to the bottom of a foil-lined 4-inch hotel pan. Set another piece of foil over top. Set a 2-inch perforated pan over the top and cover with foil. Turn the heat to medium-high and allow the wood chips to smoke for 10 to 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, soak the broccoli rabe in water for 25 to 30 minutes.
• Uncover the pan, then add the rib-eyes. Turn off the heat, cover again with foil and smoke for 5 to 7 minutes. Flip the rib-eyes, cover with foil and let sit for 10 minutes.
• Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Brush the smoked rib-eyes on both sides with olive oil. Place on the grill pan and cook for 5 to 6 minutes for medium-rare, flipping halfway through. Remove from the grill and allow to rest for 10 minutes. Reserve the grill pan.
• Toss the mushrooms with 2 tablespoons olive oil, a pinch of red pepper flakes and salt. Lay the mushrooms cap-side down on the grill pan and cook until charred and soft, 5 to 6 minutes, flipping halfway through. Remove from the grill, slice into strips and set aside. Reserve the grill pan.
• Drain the broccoli rabe and place on the grill pan. Cook until the water has steamed off and the broccoli rabe is charred. Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and red pepper flakes and set aside.
• Place the onions and 2 tablespoons olive oil in a medium saucepan. Season with salt and sweat over medium-high heat until soft and translucent, 5 to 7 minutes. Add the ginger and stir to combine. Add the balsamic vinegar, blackberry preserves, soy sauce and half of the blackberries. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 2 to 3 minutes.
• Add the demiglace, return to a boil and reduce until the sauce is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, 10 to 15 minutes. Stir in the remaining blackberries.
• To serve, remove the bones from the rib-eyes, but reserve for plating. Slice the meat against the grain. Pour any juices on the cutting board into the sauce. Plate the sliced rib-eye alongside the grilled broccoli rabe and mushrooms. Spoon the sauce over the rib-eye and enjoy!
