Juicy Rib Eyes Recipes

Steps:

• Place a 10-to-12-inch cast-iron skillet in the oven and heat the oven to 500 degrees F. Bring the steak to room temperature.
• When the oven reaches temperature, remove the skillet and place on the range over high heat for 5 minutes. Coat the steak lightly with oil and sprinkle both sides with a generous pinch of salt. Grind on black pepper.
• Immediately place the steak in the middle of the hot, dry skillet. Cook 30 seconds without moving. Turn with tongs and cook another 30 seconds, then put the pan straight into the oven for 2 minutes. Flip the steak and cook for another 2 minutes. (This time is for medium-rare steak. If you prefer medium, add a minute to both of the oven turns.)
• Remove the steak from the skillet, cover loosely with foil and rest for 2 minutes. Serve whole or slice thin and fan onto plate.

Steps:

• Crush peppercorns in a bag using a rolling pin, or use the whirry thing to crush them up. A bullet blender is my favorite little whirry thing, but any food processor or spice/coffee grinder will work. Chop the rosemary and thyme. Mix salt, pepper, rosemary and thyme to blend. The salt and pepper are necessary, the other spices are optional. Don't be afraid to change the mixture to suit your personal taste. Less is more with added spices.
• Roll the roast in the spice mixture to coat completely. Use more pepper and salt if needed to coat completely.
• Wrap in aluminum foil, place on a baking sheet and refrigerate overnight or for at least 12 hours. I did 18 hours, the time is approximate. In my research, I also found that covering the roast while it marinates is negotiable.
• Remove from refrigerator and let sit unwrapped on the counter for at least 30 minutes before cooking. This allows for more even cooking and is necessary.
• Preheat oven or roaster to 200 degrees Fahrenheit. Heat the roasting rack during this time. My turkey rack was perfect.
• Cook uncovered on a roasting rack for 25 minutes per pound for medium rare to a temperature of 125 to 130. 30 minutes for a firm medium at 135-140 degrees. Any higher temperature will produce a grey, well done interior, not a good thing. No peeking! Check the temperature with an instant read digital thermometer (cheap, quick and accurate) inserted to the center of the roast an hour before time is up, then maybe one more time a half hour later. The temperature is most important for a great roast, not the cooking time.
• Tent loosely with aluminum foil and let rest for at least 30 minutes. This is your variable time, it can rest up to 2 hours, about an hour is optimal. This step is critical as the juices inside the meat are distributed and absorbed while resting. If cut at this time, the juices will drain, the meat will be exceptionally dry and lose a lot of flavor.
• Preheat oven to 500 degrees. 450 works almost as well if you are cooking something else at the same time. Roast for 8-10 minutes to brown the top. This step is only to brown the top, not for additional cooking and will not affect the interior temperature of the roast.
• It is possible to slice immediately without losing the juices. Either slice at the table or just before serving.

Steps:

• Pre-Heat Grill.
• Season the steak with your favorite steak seasoning on both sides.
• Slice the Mushrooms.
• Add butter to a small sauce pan.
• Add the mushrooms and cook until soft.
• Grill the steak.
• Place mushrooms on top of steak. Serve with a nice healthy salad!

Steps:

• In a large zip-lock bag, combine the first 9 ingredients.
• Remove 1/3 cup marinade and refrigerate.
• Pierce steaks several times on both sides with a fork.
• Place in the zip-lock bag and turn to coat.
• Cover and refrigerate overnight.
• Remove steaks, discarding marinade.
• Grill, uncovered, over medium-hot heat for 4-8 minutes on each side or until meat reaches desired doneness (for medium-rare, a meat thermometer should read 145 degrees; medium, 160; well done, 170).
• Warm reserved marinade and serve with steaks.
