Pan Fried Rib Eye Steaks With Spicy Herb Butter Recipes

Steps:

• In a small cup or bowl mix oregano, cumin and paprika together.
• Sprinkle steaks with salt and pepper. then sprinkle each side of steaks with spice mixture, reserving some for the sauce.
• Heat oil in large skillet over medium-high heat. Add steaks and cook to desired doneness (about 5-10 minutes per side for medium). Transfer steaks to a platter and keep warm.
• In the same skillet, combine broth, vinegar, honey and the remaining spice mixture. Bring to a boil and boil until slightly reduced (3-5 minutes). Remove from heat and whisk in butter. Season sauce with salt and pepper if desired.
• Pour sauce over steaks.

Steps:

• For the cowboy butter: Well in advance, make the cowboy butter. Place the softened butter in the bowl of a mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. Whip the butter until it's fluffy. Add the parsley, red pepper flakes, black pepper, garlic, lemon zest and the juice of half the lemon. Mix it until it's totally combined, scraping the sides as needed. Add more parsley, more lemon juice, more pepper or salt if you'd like.
• Lay out a long piece of plastic wrap and scoop the butter mixture in a long strip down the middle of it. Carefully pull one side of the plastic wrap over the butter, squeezing it gently to form it into a log. Continue to roll the log of butter into a roll. When it's all rolled up, twist the ends (like a piece of candy) until they become very taut (this means the butter is pressing together inside the plastic to form a cohesive roll). Place the roll of butter into the fridge so it will harden, or into the freezer if you need to speed along the process.
• For the steaks: Preheat the oven to 475 degrees F. Sprinkle salt and pepper on both sides of the steaks.
• Melt the butter in a heavy ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. When it's melted and golden brown, sear the steaks for about 45 seconds per side. Set in the oven to finish, about 3 minutes.
• Lay a thick slice of cowboy butter on top of each steak so it will begin to melt. Serve within 5 minutes.

Steps:

• Lay the steak flat on a board; tie kitchen twine tightly around the sides (including the bone) to help the steak keep its shape during cooking.
• Grind the mushrooms in a spice grinder or blender; transfer to a bowl and mix with the garlic, balsamic vinegar, brown sugar, 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce, 1 1/2 tablespoons rosemary, the red pepper flakes and 2 teaspoons salt. Cut 8 deep slits about 1 inch apart all over the steak; fill each slit with some of the mushroom mixture, then rub the rest all over the meat. Transfer the steak to a plate, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate 2 to 4 hours. Remove from the refrigerator about 1 hour before grilling.
• Meanwhile, combine the butter, scallions, parsley, the remaining 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce and 1/2 tablespoon rosemary, and 1 teaspoon salt in a bowl. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
• Preheat a grill to medium high, then prepare for indirect heat: For gas, turn off the burners on one side. For charcoal, push the coals to one side. Brush the steak with the olive oil, then place on the cooler side of the grill (indirect heat). Cover and cook, turning occasionally, until a thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 110 degrees F to 120 degrees F, 20 to 30 minutes. Move the steak to the hotter side of the grill (direct heat) and cook until the thermometer registers 125 degrees F, 2 to 3 more minutes per side. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest 15 minutes, spreading with some of the herb butter.
• Meanwhile, grill the peppers over direct heat, turning, brushing with the lemon juice and seasoning with salt, until charred, 8 to 10 minutes. Top the steak with more herb butter and serve with the peppers.

Steps:

• Up to 8 hrs before cooking, pat the steaks dry with kitchen paper and season with salt and pepper. Heat the oil over a high flame in a heavy-based frying pan that will comfortably fit both steaks. When the oil is shimmering, turn the heat down to medium-high and add the butter. Once it's sizzling, carefully lay the steaks in the pan, tucking the garlic and herbs in at the sides.
• Stand over the steaks with a pair of tongs, searing and turning them every 30 seconds to 1 min so they get a nice brown crust. As a rough guide, each steak will take 4 mins in total for rare, 5-6 mins in total for medium and 8-10 mins for well done. If you have a digital cooking thermometer, the temperatures you're looking for in middle of the steak are 50C for rare, 60C for medium and 70C for well done. Leave the steaks to rest for at least 5 mins. While the steaks are resting, you can make a classic red wine sauce to go with them.

Steps:

• Blend chili-garlic sauce, chopped thyme, chopped tarragon, lime juice, steak sauce and Worcestershire sauce in processor. Mix in butter. Season to taste with sea salt and pepper. Mound butter on sheet of plastic wrap, roll into 1 1/2-inch-diameter log and refrigerate at least 2 hours. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Keep refrigerated.) Rub steaks with oil and season generously with sea salt and pepper. Heat 2 heavy large skillets over high heat. Add 3 steaks to each skillet and cook to desired doneness, about 3 minutes per side for medium-rare. Cut herb butter into thick rounds. Transfer steak to plates. Top steaks with butter and serve.
