SALT AND PEPPER RIB EYE STEAK

This salt and pepper rib eye steak recipe, made with bone-in-rib eye, salt, and pepper either on the grill or stovetop, provides a foolproof technique for perfectly cooked steak.

Provided by Adam Rapoport

Categories     Mains

Time 1h50m

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 (2-pound) bone-in rib eye steak ((1 1/2 to 2 inches | 4 to 5 cm thick))
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon coarsely cracked black peppercorns
Vegetable oil (for brushing)
Coarse sea salt

Steps:

  • Pat the steak dry with paper towels and place it on a wire rack situated on a rimmed baking sheet. Season with 1/2 teaspoon salt per side. Let stand at room temperature for at least 1 hour. Pat it dry with paper towels again and reseason it with 1/2 teaspoon salt per side and 1/2 teaspoon cracked peppercorns per side, pressing so the seasoning adheres.
  • If making the rib eye on the stovetop, see the variation below. If making the rib eye on the grill, build a two-zone (medium-hot and medium-low) fire in a charcoal grill or heat a gas grill to high just before cooking, leaving one burner on low. Brush the grill grate with oil. Place the steak over the higher heat, close the heat, and cook, flipping it just once, until nicely charred, 3 to 4 minutes per side. (If a flare-up occurs, use tongs to gently slide the steak to a cooler part of the grill until the flames subside.) Move the steak to lower heat and cook, flipping once, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Using tongs, lift the steak and sear both edges (the bone side and the fatcap side) for 1 to 2 minutes per side to render some of the fat. Measure the temperature of the steak to ascertain when it has reached the desired temperature. For rare steak, it will take 14 to 18 minutes total grilling time to reach 120°F (49°C) although it will carry over to 125°F (51°C), or medium-rare, as it rests.
  • Transfer the steak to a cutting board and let it rest for at least 10 minutes. Slice it against the grain and season it with coarse sea salt. You know what to do from here.

SALT AND PEPPER SPARE RIBS



Salt and Pepper Spare Ribs image

They say that whoever makes the most delicious thing with the fewest number of ingredients wins, which was the idea that inspired these. The recipe reminded me just how delicious pork ribs are when we don't try to do too much to them. Plus, this has to be the easiest method I've ever shared for doing ribs.

Categories     Meat and Poultry Recipes     Pork     Pork Rib Recipes     Spare Ribs

Time 7h25m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 teaspoons kosher salt
1 tablespoon freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon freshly ground white pepper
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
½ teaspoon garlic powder
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons white vinegar
1 rack St. Louis-style pork spare ribs

Steps:

  • Mix salt, black pepper, white pepper, cayenne, and garlic powder together in a small bowl. Set spice rub aside.
  • Stir Dijon mustard and vinegar together in a small bowl.
  • Place ribs on a foil-lined baking sheet. Turn the ribs over so that the meat side is down. Use the tip of a small, sharp knife to make some very shallow slashes every few inches through the membrane that covers the ribs. Poke the knife 3 or 4 times between each rib bone, about 1/4 inch deep.
  • Brush about 1/2 of the Dijon mustard mixture on top. Sprinkle with about 40% of the spice rub. Turn the rack over and brush on the rest of the mustard and vinegar mixture. Sprinkle on the rest of the rub, reserving 1 or 2 teaspoons in case you want to use it to season the cooked ribs later.
  • Refrigerate the ribs, uncovered, 4 to 12 hours before baking.
  • Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Remove ribs from the refrigerator.
  • Cook in the center of the preheated oven for 1 1/2 hours. Remove from the oven and baste with the pan drippings. Continue to cook until very tender and the tip of a knife slides in very easily, about 1 1/2 hours more.
  • Remove from the oven, baste again, and let ribs rest for 15 minutes before cutting and serving.

Provided by Ian Knauer

Categories     Pepper     Roast     Father's Day     Back to School     Dinner     Beef Rib     Fall     Gourmet

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 (4-rib) standing beef rib roast (bone-in prime rib; 9 to 10 pounds), at room temperature 1 hour
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
3 tablespoons kosher salt
1/3 cup mixed peppercorns (pink, white, and green)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450°F with rack in middle.
  • Rub roast all over with oil, then sprinkle all over with kosher salt. Coarsely crush peppercorns in a folded kitchen towel (not terry cloth) with a meat pounder or bottom of a heavy skillet. Coat meat on all sides with peppercorns, pressing to help them adhere.
  • Roast on a rack in a 13- by 9-inch roasting pan 20 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 350°F and roast until an instant-read thermometer inserted into center of meat (do not touch bone) registers 110°F, 1 1/2 to 2 hours more. Transfer to platter and let rest, uncovered, 30 minutes (temperature of meat will rise to about 130°F for medium-rare).◊

Tips:

  • Use a high-quality rib eye steak for the best results.
  • Make sure the steak is at least 1 inch thick for even cooking.
  • Season the steak generously with salt and pepper before cooking.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the steak. This will prevent it from cooking evenly.
  • Cook the steak over medium-high heat for a quick sear, then reduce the heat to medium-low and continue cooking until the steak is cooked to your desired doneness.
  • Let the steak rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the steak, making it more tender and flavorful.

Conclusion:

This salt and pepper rib eye steak recipe is a classic for a reason. It's simple to make, yet it delivers delicious, juicy steak every time. With just a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can enjoy a restaurant-quality steak at home. So next time you're in the mood for a hearty and satisfying meal, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed.
