Best Seared Rib Steak With Rosemary And Arugula Recipes

SEARED RIB-EYE STEAK WITH ARUGULA AND ROASTED PEPPER SALAD

Steps:

• In a large saute pan, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil. Season steaks with salt and pepper. When pan starts to smoke, carefully add steaks. Allow the steaks to cook for about 3 to 4 minutes on 1 side, without moving or piercing the meat. This will help create a good, crusty sear. When steaks are brown, flip and sear the other side for 3 to 4 minutes. Remove meat to a large plate and allow to rest for 10 minutes.
• Decoratively line a large platter with arugula. Tear the roasted peppers into large pieces and scatter over the arugula. In a small bowl, whisk in the remaining olive oil, balsamic vinegar and any meat juices that may have collected on the plate from the steaks. Season with salt and pepper.
• Slice the steaks across the grain and on a bias into 1 1/2-inch thick pieces. Lay the slices on top of the salad and drizzle with dressing. Using a vegetable peeler, shave about Parmesan over the dish.

RIB-EYE STEAKS WITH ARUGULA OIL

Steps:

• To quick roast and peel peppers:
• Broiler method:
• Preheat broiler. Quarter peppers lengthwise, discarding stems, seeds, and ribs. Put peppers, skin side up, on a rack of a broiler pan and broil about 2 inches from heat until skins are blistered and charred, 8 to 12 minutes.
• Transfer peppers to a bowl and let stand, covered, until cool enough to handle. Peel peppers. (Wear rubber gloves when handling chilies.)
• Gas stove method:
• Lay peppers on their sides on racks of burners (preferably 1 to a burner) and turn flame on high. Char peppers, turning them with tongs, until skins are blackened, 6 to 8 minutes. (If peppers are small, as are chilies, spear through stem end with a long handled fork and rest on burner rack.)
• Transfer peppers to a bowl and let stand, covered, until cool enough to handle. Peel peppers. Cut off tops and discard seeds and ribs. (Wear rubber gloves when handling chilies.)
• Make marinade:
• In a shallow baking dish just large enough to hold steaks in one layer stir together oil, rosemary, lemon, and pepper.
• Add steaks to marinade, turning to coat well. Marinate steaks, covered, and chilled, turning occasionally, 1 day.
• Make arugula oil:
• In a blender or food processor blend arugula, oil, and salt and pepper to taste 30 seconds. Chill mixture, covered, 1 1/2 hours. Bring mixture to room temperature and pour through a fine sieve into a bowl. Arugula oil may be made 1 day ahead and chilled, covered.
• Prepare grill.
• Remove steaks from marinade, letting excess drip off, and grill on an oiled rack set 5 to 6 inches over glowing coals 4 to 5 minutes on each side for medium-rare. (Alternatively, steaks may be grilled in batches in a hot well seasoned ridged grill pan.) Transfer steaks to a cutting board and let stand 5 minutes.
• Toss roasted peppers with olive oil and salt and pepper to taste and cut steaks into 1/4-inch-thick slices.
• Divide arugula leaves among 4 plates and top with steak and roasted peppers. Drizzle each serving with arugula oil and salt and pepper to taste and serve with potatoes.
