Greek Rib Eye Steaks Recipes

RIB-EYE STEAKS THAT ARE SUPERB

Steps:

• Remove steaks from the refrigerator and let them sit for about 30 minutes to take the chill out of the meat.
• Now, coat both sides generously with coarse black pepper and granulated garlic powder.
• Heat an iron skillet or a heavy bottomed frying pan until very hot on high heat.
• For each steak, sprinkle onto the skillet, 3/4 teaspoon of coarse salt and allow salt to heat up for at least 1 minute.
• Place the steaks on the coarse salt and cook for 3 minutes; DO NOT DISTURB at all, DO NOT LOOK or even move the steaks.
• Turn the steaks over and cook for an additional 3 minutes; again DO NOT DISTURB at all.
• The cooking time of 6 minutes gives you a medium-rare steak; DO NOT OVERCOOK.
• If you desire to cook it to medium, then cook for an additional 30 seconds to 1 minute per side.
• Remove steaks to a plate, cover with foil and let rest for 5 minutes, so that all juices are absorbed by the meat.
• Scrape off any excess coarse pepper and salt if desired and discard.
• I prefer to slice the steaks on an angle about 1/4 inch to 3/8 inch thickness.
• Serve with freshly processed horseradish.
• NOTE; Make sure that the heat is on as HIGH as possible without burning at all times during cooking the steaks. This will vary depending on your cooktop.
• Do not use ordinary table salt.
• Beef Tenderloin steaks are also real great cooked in this manner. If using a steak thicker than 1 inch, add 1 extra minute per side for medium-rare.

GREEK-STYLE RIBEYE STEAKS

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine the first five ingredients; rub onto both sides of steaks. In a large skillet, cook steaks in oil for 7-9 minutes on each side or until meat reaches desired doneness (for medium-rare a thermometer should read 135°; medium, 140°; medium-well, 145°). Sprinkle with lemon juice, cheese and olives. Serve immediately.

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.

• Rub the spice mixture on both sides of steaks.
• Wrap tightly and refrigerate at least 1 hour or up to 24 hours.

• Grill or broil the steaks 4 to 6 inches above the heat source for 5 to 7 minutes on each side for rare, 7 to 9 minutes for medium, or 9 to 11 minutes for well-done.
• Remove the steaks to serving plates and garnish with thyme sprigs. Enjoy!
