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.
