Lunching on Steak
A reader sent this comment on my post about Delmonico's:
Have you sampled [Delmonico's] wares? Their signature rib-eye is $47 and I guess you pay extra for sides. I'm beyond help - so cheap. I buy a rib eye every week from my local family butcher for 5.98. And then...... I bash it thin and fast fry it. Then........ my wife and I share it!!!Here is Delmonico's recipe for rib-eye steak, posted at an ABC feature on the restaurant:
We usually have it with green beans (sometimes Sechuan style) and baked sweet potato.
I am the family cook (most of the time) but full time now as my wife fractured her hip 5 weeks.
Delmonico's Rib Eye Steak
Rib Eye Steak-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ingredients:
Six 20-ounce prime rib-eye steaks, at room temperature
Sea salt and coarsely ground black pepper to taste
1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Meat Butter (recipe follows)
Method:
Clean, oil, and preheat the grill.
Wipe excess moisture from the exterior of the steaks using a paper towel. Season one side with salt and pepper.
Place the steaks on the hot grill, seasoned side down. Grill for 3 minutes. Season the top side and, using tongs, turn the steaks and grill for 3 minutes to just sear the exterior.
Remove the steaks from the grill and, using a pastry brush, lightly coat both sides of each steak with olive oil.
Return the steaks to the grill and cook, turning occasionally, until the exterior is nicely charred and the interior has reached the desired degree of doneness on an instant-read thermometer.
Remove from the grill and let rest for 5 minutes before serving with a generous pat of Meat Butter.
Meat Butter:
Ingredients:
3 fresh bay leaves
1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
2 tablespoons sea salt
1 pound (4 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature
Method:
Combine the bay leaves, thyme, and salt in a spice grinder and process until powdery.
Place the butter in a mixing bowl. Add the powdered mixture and, using a hand-held electric mixer, blend well.
