Dry Rubbed Bison Smoked Rib Eye With Blackberry Soy Balsamic Sauce Grilled Broccoli Rabe And Grilled Mushrooms Recipes

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.

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.

SMOKED BISON BACK RIBS

Steps:

• Heat a cooker to 230° to 250°F. Remove the ribs from the refrigerator and outline them with a sharp, pointed paring knife.
• Combine all the ingredients for the rub in a small bowl and blend well. Season the ribs all over with the rub.
• Oil the grate and place the ribs on it bone side down over indirect heat. Cover and cook for 1 to 1 1/2 hours. Turn and cook for 45 minutes more, then turn and cook for another 45 minutes, or until pull-apart tender.
• Increase the heat to 350° to 400°F. Glaze the ribs with the sauce and cook for 5 to 7 minutes, being careful not to burn the ribs, then turn and glaze again and cook for another 5 to 7 minutes. Repeat 2 or 3 times, if desired.
• Transfer the ribs to a cutting board and let them rest, covered loosely with aluminum foil, for 10 to 15 minutes. Cut the ribs into individual pieces and serve with barbecue sauce.

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.

SPICE RUBBED GRILLED AMERICAN BISON SHORT RIBS WITH ORANGE HONEY CHIPOTLE BBQ SAUCE

Steps:

• Combine the ancho, paprika, cumin, cinnamon, 2 tablespoons salt and 1 teaspoon pepper in small bowl. Sprinkle both sides of the ribs with salt and pepper, and then rub the spice mix onto the top of the ribs. Put on a baking sheet lined with aluminum or parchment. Let the ribs sit at room temperature for 30 minutes.
• Heat a charcoal or gas grill to high for direct grilling. Brush the ribs on both sides with oil and grill, spice-side down, until golden brown and slightly charred, about 4 minutes. Flip and grill another 4 minutes. Brush with some of the Orange Honey Chipotle BBQ Sauce during the last minute of grilling. Remove to a platter and brush with more of the sauce.
• Heat the oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the garlic and onions and cook until soft, about 2 minutes. Add the orange juice and zest and cook until slightly reduced.
• Add the ketchup, honey, vinegar, chipotle puree, soy sauce, ancho powder and salt, and bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally and simmer until slightly thickened, about 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool to room temperature.

GRILLED BROCCOLI RABE

Steps:

• Immerse the broccoli rabe in water and let soak for 10 minutes.
• Preheat a grill to medium.
• Remove the broccoli rabe from the water but DO NOT shake off the excess. Toss with some olive oil, salt and crushed red pepper and lay in an even single layer on the grill. Cook until the rabe starts to lightly char and become tender, 3 to 4 minutes per side. If it starts to char a little too quickly, drizzle or spray a few drops of water on it.
• Serve hot or at room temperature.
