Rib Eye Steaks With Basil Butter And Sliced Tomatoes Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat a grill to high heat.
• Place rib-eye steaks on a large platter and season with rub on all sides. Transfer seasoned steaks to the hot grill, and cook for 4 to 6 minutes on each side for medium-rare, longer if desired. Remove steaks and let rest for 5 to 10 minutes before serving.
• In a small bowl, combine all ingredients, to taste. Adjust the ratio of spices to your preference.

Steps:

• Pulse butter, shallot, garlic, 1/2 teaspoon salt and pepper in a food processor until smooth. Scrape down the sides of the bowl, add basil, and pulse until well incorporated and smooth.
• DO AHEAD: Butter mixture can be prepared up to 4 days in advance. Allow to come to room temperature before cooking the steak. NOTE: You will have extra butter...perfect for more steaks, hamburgers, chicken, eggs, and more.
• Preheat oven to 350°. Preheat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Season steaks with a 5-finger pinch of salt on all sides. Sear until steaks are well browned and beginning to char around edges, about 5 minutes. Flip and repeat on the other side. Transfer to oven and cook until an instant-read thermometer inserted into thickest part of steaks registers 120° for medium-rare. Transfer steaks to a cutting board to rest and tent with foil. Meanwhile, drizzle bread with olive oil on both sides and grill until golden brown on both sides. (The grilled bread also tastes great with basil butter!)
• Slice tomatoes and arrange on a platter. Sprinkle lightly with salt. Arrange sliced steak on top of tomatoes. Spread steak generously with basil butter and serve with grilled bread.
• Heirloom tomatoes and the herb butter pair perfectly with the rich and full-bodied Cabernet Sauvignon from Tom Gore Vineyards.

Steps:

• Season steak generously with salt and pepper. Sprinkle with sliced garlic and rosemary and set aside to marinate, 20 to 30 minutes.
• Heat oven to 450 degrees. Meanwhile, bring a pot of well-salted water to a boil. Add potatoes and cook at a brisk simmer until just done, 10 to 15 minutes. Drain and keep warm.
• Heat a cast-iron or other heavy skillet over high heat. Remove and discard sliced garlic from steak. (If left on, it will burn in the skillet.)
• When pan is hot, put in the steak and let brown well on one side, 4 to 5 minutes. Wait until steak forms a crust and comes away cleanly from the bottom to move it.
• Flip steak and transfer pan to oven, uncovered. Roast until juices begin to rise on surface of steak (you will see the droplets) and internal temperature is 120 degrees, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove steak from pan and let rest, tented with foil, for 5 to 10 minutes. (Residual heat will continue to cook the meat to medium-rare as it rests.) Warm a serving bowl for the potatoes and plates for the steak.
• Melt butter in a wide skillet over medium-high heat. Add potatoes and toss to coat and heat through. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Add minced garlic and cook, stirring, until softened but not browned, 1 minute or less. Gently stir in parsley and lemon zest and transfer to serving bowl.
• Cutting on a slight diagonal, slice steak into 1/2-inch slices, then transfer to plates. If using, place a handful of greens next to the steak. Serve immediately, passing potatoes at the table.

Steps:

• Prepare a hot, clean, oiled grill. In a saucepan, heat the oil on medium heat. Add the garlic and ginger and fry briefly. Add the herbs and zest. Pull off of the heat. Dissolve sugar with lemon juice and mix in mustard. Whisk in with herb mix. Season the steaks and tomatoes and grill on both sides, about 8 to 10 minutes, (tomatoes will take about 5 minutes). Slather the steak and tomatoes with the herb mixture frequently. Let steaks rest 5 minutes before serving.
• Prepare a fryer on medium-high heat. Drain potatoes well and pat dry. Blanch the potatoes in the oil until lightly colored. Set aside, un-seasoned, on paper towels. Mix all the spices and salt together. Raise the oil temperature to high and fry the potatoes again until golden, brown and delicious. Season with salt immediately.
• Note: There will be leftover seasoned salt. Store in air-tight container and use it on any grilled items.
• PLATING On large plates, lay a bed of salad. Place a mound of fries and lean steak against it. Garnish with tomato half and mint/basil sprigs.

Steps:

• Steaks: Preheat a grill. Mix shallot slices with olive oil. Salt and pepper 1 side of rib-eyes, cook on medium-high grill for 7 minutes. Turn steaks, paint with olive oil mixture and add more salt and pepper. Press rosemary into cooked side and grill another 2 to 3 minutes
• Tomatoes: Brush olive oil mixture on 1 side of the tomato slices, and sprinkle salt and pepper. Place on medium-high grill, olive oil side down, for 4 to 5 minutes until they have grill marks but are still somewhat firm. Paint uncooked side with olive oil mixture and sprinkle with more salt and pepper. Turn and place minced fresh sage onto cooked side. Grill another 2 to 3 minutes.
• Place the steaks on a plate and serve with the tomatoes. Sprinkle with more herbs as desired.
