Grecian Skillet Ribeyes Recipes

GRECIAN SKILLET RIB EYES

Steps:

• Combine first 5 ingredients; rub onto all sides of steaks.
• Pour oil into a large nonstick skillet; place over medium heat until hot. Add steaks, and cook 10 to 14 minutes or to desired degree of doneness, turning once. Sprinkle with lemon juice; top with cheese and olives.
• Note: I will probably grill the steak. I will brush each steak with olive oil and then rub both sides with the rub. Grill to your liking, then sprinkle with lemon juice, feta cheese and olives.

PAN-SEARED RIB-EYE

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.

GREEK STEAK (RIB EYE)

Steps:

• 1. Place all ingredients except steaks in a sealable quart sized bag. (Use a gallon sized bag if making 3 or more steaks.) NOTE: You can use 1 1/2 tablespoons of dry Italian seasoning in lieu of the other herbs. Just add the garlic powder and a little additional Oregano.
• 2. Set a small amount of the marinade aside for later use. Place steaks in bag and marinate from 30 minutes to 3 hours. The Lemon Juice begins to "cook" the steaks so they may not appear pink centered when cooked to rare or medium rare. The lemon juice also tenderizes the steaks. Discard excess marinade from bag or use immediately for baking Greek Potatoes. (See Note 2 below).
• 3. After marinating, cook steaks in frying pan or grill them. When steaks are all but done, spoon on a little of the additional marinade you'd set aside and warm to finish.
• 4. Note 2: A great accompaniment to this is Greek Potatoes: Wash and slice and cut potatoes in halves or quarters, peeled or not. Place in baking dish, utilize the reserved marinade used for marinating the steaks and add water to 1/2 the depth of potatoes. Bake for 40 minutes at 375 degrees or until fork tender.
