Rib Eye Steaks With Merlot Mushroom Melange Recipes

RIBEYE WITH MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Combine the rub ingredients, rosemary through the cinnamon, in a small bowl.
• Pat dry the steaks and place on a work surface. Sprinkle rub to just cover one side of the steaks, and rub it into the meat. Turn the steaks over and repeat. Leave the steaks out at room temperature for 15 minutes to absorb the rub.
• Start the mushroom sauce. Melt 1 tablespoon of the butter in a large skillet on medium heat. Add the minced garlic, sauté until it becomes fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in the mushrooms, and cook about 5 minutes until the mushrooms begin to sweat.
• Pour the red wine into the skillet and stir. Add the thyme, salt and pepper to taste. Cook until the red wine has mostly absorbed into the mushrooms, about 5 minutes. Finish the sauce by adding the reserved tablespoon of butter, stirring the butter to melt in with mushrooms. Keep the mushrooms warm as the steaks grills.
• Preheat a grill to medium high as the mushrooms are cooking. When ready, coat the grill with oil spray. Add the ribeye steaks to the grill. Grill covered for 6 minutes, then turn the steaks over and grill covered for another 6 to 7 minutes. 12 minutes total grilling time got our steaks to a good medium rare; depending on your taste and size of your steaks you may want to add a few more minutes grilling time.
• When the steaks are done, remove to a platter and let them rest for a few minutes. Then, trim excess fat and slice the steaks crosswise. Plate 3 to 4 slices per person, and top with the mushrooms. Enjoy with a good glass of Merlot

RIB EYE STEAK WITH SAUTEED MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• 1. Salt steaks - Salting is really easy and makes a big difference. Pat your steaks dry then use either Kosher or Sea salt, and top them generously. Allow to sit at room temperature for 30 min to an hour and a half.
• 2. Once time has passed use a paper towel to absorb the moister that forms on top of the steaks. This is the excess water the salt pulls out leaving you with a juicier steak.
• 3. Add black pepper and rosemary to the steaks. Brush the olive oil over the steaks.
• 4. Preheat oven to 425 F. If you have a broiler pan or a cast iron pan place in the oven. A pizza stone would also work if you have that on hand.
• 5. Heat 2 tablespoons butter in a saute pan, or skillet. Try the water test to make sure the pan is hot enough to give the steaks a good seared crust. The water test is done by just dropping a couple DROPS of water into the hot butter, if it sizzles and crackles its good to go.
• 6. Top each steak with a tablespoon of butter. No need to smear on just place a small mound of butter in the center of the steak. Add steaks and cook for 2 - 3 min on each side.
• 7. Open oven and place steaks directly on baking dish. Cook 3 -4 min each side depending on how you like it done. I cooked mine for 3 min each side and it came out medium. Top with mushrooms and enjoy!
• 8. SAUTEED MUSHROOMS: Heat butter in saute pan used for cooking the steaks. Add white wine, garlic and soy sauce, cook for 3 min. Add mushrooms and cook another 3 - 5 min or until done. Top steaks and allow to set for 5 min to absorb the flavors.
