Best Rib Eye Steaks With Merlot Mushroom Melange Recipes

RIBEYE WITH MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Combine the rub ingredients, rosemary through the cinnamon, in a small bowl.
• Pat dry the steaks and place on a work surface. Sprinkle rub to just cover one side of the steaks, and rub it into the meat. Turn the steaks over and repeat. Leave the steaks out at room temperature for 15 minutes to absorb the rub.
• Start the mushroom sauce. Melt 1 tablespoon of the butter in a large skillet on medium heat. Add the minced garlic, sauté until it becomes fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in the mushrooms, and cook about 5 minutes until the mushrooms begin to sweat.
• Pour the red wine into the skillet and stir. Add the thyme, salt and pepper to taste. Cook until the red wine has mostly absorbed into the mushrooms, about 5 minutes. Finish the sauce by adding the reserved tablespoon of butter, stirring the butter to melt in with mushrooms. Keep the mushrooms warm as the steaks grills.
• Preheat a grill to medium high as the mushrooms are cooking. When ready, coat the grill with oil spray. Add the ribeye steaks to the grill. Grill covered for 6 minutes, then turn the steaks over and grill covered for another 6 to 7 minutes. 12 minutes total grilling time got our steaks to a good medium rare; depending on your taste and size of your steaks you may want to add a few more minutes grilling time.
• When the steaks are done, remove to a platter and let them rest for a few minutes. Then, trim excess fat and slice the steaks crosswise. Plate 3 to 4 slices per person, and top with the mushrooms. Enjoy with a good glass of Merlot

RIB EYE STEAKS WITH MUSHROOMS AND ONIONS

Steps:

• Let the steaks rest and warm up on the cutting board for 15-30 minutes before cooking.
• Pat steaks dry with a paper towel and season generously with salt and pepper on both sides.
• Preheat a well seasoned cast iron skillet over medium heat and add butter. Once butter is mostly melted, add sliced onions and cook until onions start to brown.
• Press in garlic and saute until fragrant. Add mushrooms to the pan and cook vegetables for a few minutes.
• Pour in mushroom stock and season with salt, pepper, and thyme. Cook until mushrooms soften, take everything out of the skillet and set it aside.
• Wipe the skillet down with a paper towel to get rid of any small pieces left behind.
• Preheat the oven to 450°.
• Preheat the skillet over medium-high heat and add a little bit of butter. Spread butter all over the pan and place the steaks in the hot skillet. Sear steaks for 30-45 seconds on each side.
• Spread mushrooms and onions mixture over the steaks and place the skillet in the oven. Bake until the steaks reach your desired temperature. Depending on the steak thickness and temperature wanted, it could take between 5 and 15 minutes.
• You can use a leave-in thermometer to take temperature of the steak but make sure to slide it through the side of the steak, towards the middle. (If leave in thermometer is not available, take the temperature with a regular meat thermometer but make sure to take the steak out of the oven and close the oven door while taking the temperature.)
