Pan-Seared Rib-Eye Steaks with Porcini and Rosemary Rub Tom Schierlitz

Grinding dried porcini mushrooms in a spice mill creates a deeply flavorful coating for the steaks.

Ingredients

Makes 4 to 6 servings

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. Step 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.

    Step 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).

    Step 3

    Drain steaks; pat dry. Sprinkle mushroom-rosemary rub generously over both sides of steaks, pressing to adhere.

    Step 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.

    Step 5

    Transfer steaks to plate; tent with foil to keep warm. Let rest 10 minutes. Cut into 1/2-inch-thick slices and serve.

  2. Step 6

    *Available in the produce section of many supermarkets and at specialty foods stores and Italian markets.

  • Made it exactly as written, always to rave reviews. I've used a variety of cuts, all wonderful. The soy sauce tenderizes the steak beautifully.

  • this is just delicious. I did nto have porcini mushroom, so I substituted 3 cheese bread crumbs, but I rubbed porcini mushroom evoo on the steaks, everything else was the same. Grilled these steaks and they were absolutely the best.

  • Delicious. A little too much pepper, but otherwise I thought this was intensely savory and cranked the already buttery flavor of ribeye up to 11. I will definitely make this again.

  • 我做的这道菜作为摩擦——卤制后一些try-tip roasts for an hour and a half in soy sauce, I mixed the dry mushroom-porcini mix, along with a clove of minced garlic (leaving out the salt, as there was plenty with the soy sauce) with about 3-4 Tbsp. olive oil and smeared it over the whole piece of meat before grilling. The best steak sandwiches ever, and folks kept going back to the table to just pick at the meat, sop up the juices, etc. A huge success, can't wait to repeat for another gathering!

  • Fantastic recipe. Have made it several times, both pan-seared and grilled. Both ways were delicious. I've found I prefer a little less rosemary relative to porcini than recipe calls for, but that's just a matter of personal preference.

  • This recipe is fairly easy, and very delicious with fresh ingredients. It took about 40 minutes for prep work and cooking. I did a little less than the recommended porcini and a little more than the recommended rosemary, and it worked out particularly well. However, the soy sauce can be overpowering if you use a very strong style or soak it for too long--an hour and a half works well, more and it might be too salty.

  • I've made this wonderful rib-eye recipe four times now, and every time, without fail, it comes out beautifully. Guests have said it was the best steak they've ever had. YES, open windows and turn on the vent fan if you have a small kitchen, but otherwise it's perfection, especially on an induction cooktop!

  • This was very tasty and definitely better than any restaurant steak I could get without driving two hours to Chicago. I seared in a skillet and finished in the oven due to a small poorly ventilated apt/kitchen.

  • Well, I've found this is the perfect steak recipe. Every time I've made it, I get asked for the recipe.

  • Definitely very good and easy to make. Not the best I've had. I'm still looking for that perfect steak recipe!

  • agreed with everyone - delicious even for the most finicky steak fanatics. and will try adding some smoked paprika next time - sounds great! also loved on grill and made with lots of fall roasted veggies with potatoes.

  • My Grocery Store had Prime graded Rib Eyes for 5.99 lb so I bought as much as I could and went looking for a recipe. This is great only change was added a little smoked paprika to rosemary porcini rub. Grilled them outside over charcoal rather than grill pan.

  • Fantastic steak every time. I had to alter the recipe because I live in an apartment and smoke can be a big issue. I eliminated the oil and then did the following: Place a cast iron skillet in oven and heat oven to 500 degrees. When oven reaches temperature, remove pan and place on range over high heat. Immediately place steak in the middle of hot, dry pan. Cook 30 seconds without moving. Turn with tongs and cook another 30 seconds, then put the pan straight into the oven for 2 minutes. Flip steak and cook for another 2 minutes. (This time is for medium rare steaks. If you prefer medium, add a minute to both of the oven turns.)

  • This preparation has FABULOUS flavor. We bought dry-aged rib-eye's ($25.99/lb at Whole Foods) and that may be part of the great results but we thought we'd died and gone to heaven. Better than any steak we've had at high end steak restaurants.

  • Also used NY strip steak. I had my doubts about this recipe, but it far exceeded our expectations. The rub was fantastic. SO said it was better than any steak house dish. Would serve with a nice mashed potatoe,asparagus. The only change I would make would be to use low sodium soy next time. Deceptively amazing dish.
