Pan-Seared Rib-Eye Steaks with Porcini and Rosemary Rub Recipe

Pan-Seared Rib-Eye Steaks with Porcini and Rosemary Rub Recipe

  • 2 2-inch-thick grass-fed boneless rib-eye steaks (about 3 pounds total)
  • 1/2 cup soy sauce
  • 1/4 ounce dried porcini mushrooms (half of 1/2-ounce package)
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh rosemary
  • 2 teaspoons coarsely ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  1. Place steaks and soy sauce in large resealable plastic bag. Seal bag, releasing excess air; turn to coat. Let steaks marinate at room temperature 2 hours, turning occasionally.
  2. Process porcini mushrooms in spice mill to fine powder. Mix 1 1/2 tablespoons mushroom powder, rosemary, and pepper in small bowl (reserve any remaining powder for another use).
  3. Drain steaks; pat dry. Sprinkle mushroom-rosemary rub generously over both sides of steaks, pressing to adhere.
  4. Heat oil in heavy large skillet (preferably cast-iron) over medium-high heat. Fry steaks until browned and cooked to desired doneness, about 8 minutes per side for rare, adjusting heat to medium if browning too quickly.
  5. Transfer steaks to plate; tent with foil to keep warm. Let rest 10 minutes. Cut into 1/2-inch-thick slices and serve.
  6. Available in the produce section of many supermarkets and at specialty foods stores and Italian markets.
