Even steak purists will make an exception when they taste the Cajun Spice Rub on this steak, out of the creative genius of Smith & Wollensky Executive Chef Matthew King. He's shared the recipe so you can make it at home, too. Just be sure, when grilling, to make sure that you allow the steaks to drain off the marinade oil before it hits the grill. That's because the oil will reach the smoking point far sooner than the natural fats and will leave you with some of the delicious flavor of the marinade. This pairs perfectly with Smith & Wollensky's Creamy Corn with Manchego-just click the link and get the recipe as well as some of Chef Matt's tips for easy preparation.

SUNNY'S SMOTHERED RIB EYE STEAK

Provided by Sunny Anderson

Time 2h30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

1/2 teaspoon Hungarian paprika
1/2 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme
1 teaspoon salt
Freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 (12-ounce) boneless rib eye steaks
5 sprigs fresh thyme
1 stalk fresh rosemary
2 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup chopped onion
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons stone-ground mustard
1 cup beef stock
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup sour cream
3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Steps:

  • For the steaks: In a small bowl, combine the paprika, thyme, salt and a few grinds of black pepper. Sprinkle on both sides of the steaks and let rest at room temperature for up to 2 hours.
  • In a large pan with straight sides, add the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the steaks and sear on both sides until a deep golden color is on the bottom, 4 to 5 minutes. Flip and cook about 4 minutes more. Remove to a plate and cover with aluminum foil.
  • For the gravy: Using kitchen twine, tie the thyme and rosemary together. In the same pan you seared the steaks in, add the herb bundle and the butter. Lower the heat to medium, melt the butter and then add the onions. Season with a pinch of salt and a grind or 2 of black pepper. Cook on medium heat until the onions are tender, about 5 minutes, and then add the garlic. When the garlic becomes fragrant, about 2 minutes, add the stone-ground mustard and beef stock. Stir to blend and then add the heavy cream. Taste and season with more salt, if needed, and raise the heat to a gentle simmer. Once the sauce has thickened to a gravy, lower the heat and stir in the sour cream. Add the reserved steaks back into the pan and bring to a simmer while spooning the sauce over the steaks. Cook this way until desired doneness; it should take only a minute more for medium-rare. Remove from the heat and allow to rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Place the slices on a serving plate and pour the gravy over the top.

MORTON'S STEAKHOUSE CAJUN RIBEYE STEAKS



Morton's Steakhouse Cajun Ribeye Steaks image

Please use Recipe #474823 for Morton's Steakhouse Cajun Seasoning. This recipe comes from Morton's Chef Ben Ornelas. I have modified his recipe because he uses 4 3/4 C oil for 6 steaks and I have found that 1 C oil for marinade is sufficient for home cooks.

Provided by Rinshinomori

Categories     Steak

Time 15m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 3

1 cup cajun seasoning, Morton (see recipe description for making) or 1 cup other cajun seasoning
6 (16 ounce) rib eye steaks, each about 1 1/2 inches thick
1 cup vegetable oil, such as canola or 1 cup safflower oil

Steps:

  • Put the Morton's Cajun seasoning in a large, shallow glass or ceramic pan. Press each side of the steaks into the seasoning to cover completely.
  • Remove the steaks and lightly pound each three to four times with a perforated meat mallet or small heavy skillet to soften but not flatten more than a little. Discard any remaining seasoning in the pan.
  • Pour the oil into the pan and add the steaks one by one. Flip over. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 8 hours and up to 24 hours. Alternatively, marinate the steaks in heavy-duty resealable plastic bags.
  • When you are ready to cook the steaks, remove them from the oil and let the oil drip off to remove the excess oil. The oil can flare on the grill or in the broiler.
  • Set the steaks aside for 30 to 60 minutes at room temperature and grill the steaks to your liking.
