Steak & Seasoning

Broccolini

Shallot Agrodolce

Method

Steak & Seasoning

1

Bring steak to room temperature

Remove the 12 oz ribeye from the refrigerator 45–60 minutes before cooking. Pat dry thoroughly with paper towels.

2

Season both sides liberally with 1.5 tsp kosher salt and 1 tsp freshly ground black pepper. Press seasoning into the meat.

3

Preheat a heavy cast-iron skillet over high heat until smoking. Add 1 tbsp neutral oil and heat until shimmering.

4

Sear the steak for 2.5–3 minutes on the first side without moving to develop a deep crust. Flip and add 1 tbsp unsalted butter, smashed garlic cloves and thyme sprigs to the pan.

5

Tilt the pan and baste the steak with the melted butter for 2–3 minutes while cooking the second side for medium-rare (target internal temperature 125–130°F / 52–54°C). Adjust time for desired doneness.

6

Remove steak to a cutting board, tent loosely with foil and rest for 8–10 minutes before slicing.

Crispy Lemon Potatoes

7

Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add 1 lb cubed Yukon gold potatoes and parboil for 6–8 minutes until just tender but not falling apart. Drain well and let steam-dry for 2 minutes.

8

Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Toss potatoes with 2 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp kosher salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper on a rimmed baking sheet, spreading in a single layer with space between pieces for browning.

9

Roast for 25–30 minutes, turning once halfway, until golden and crispy.

10

Remove from oven and immediately toss with lemon zest, 1 tbsp lemon juice and 1 tbsp chopped parsley. Taste and adjust seasoning to taste.

Broccolini

11

Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil. Blanch 8 stalks broccolini for 1.5–2 minutes until bright green and just tender, then transfer to an ice bath to stop cooking and preserve color. Drain and pat dry.

12

Heat 1 tsp olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add broccolini and sauté 1–2 minutes to reheat and lightly char tips. Season with 1/2 tsp salt and finish with 1/2 tbsp lemon juice.

Shallot Agrodolce

13

While potatoes roast, heat 1 tsp olive oil in a small sauté pan over medium heat. Add 1 thinly sliced shallot and cook until softened, about 2–3 minutes.

14

Add 2 tbsp red wine vinegar and 1 tsp sugar. Reduce heat and simmer until vinegar is reduced slightly and shallots are glossy and saucy, about 3–4 minutes. Season with 1/4 tsp salt. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.

Basil Verde

15

In a small food processor or blender, combine 1 cup packed basil leaves, 1/4 cup flat-leaf parsley, 1 garlic clove, 1 tsp capers, 1 tsp lemon juice and 3 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil. Pulse until a coarse, bright-green sauce forms. Scrape down sides as needed.

16

Season with 1/4 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp freshly ground pepper. Adjust oil or lemon to reach spoonable consistency. Keep at room temperature until plating.

Jus

17

In a small saucepan over medium heat, sauté 1/2 minced shallot with a teaspoon of oil until translucent, about 1 minute.

18

Add 1 tbsp red wine (optional) and reduce by half, about 1–2 minutes. Add 3 oz beef demi-glace or reduced beef stock and 1/2 tsp fresh thyme leaves. Bring to a gentle simmer and reduce slightly to coat the back of a spoon, about 3–4 minutes.

19

Off heat, whisk in 1 tbsp cold cubed butter piece by piece to emulsify and finish the sauce. Season with 1/4 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Keep warm until plating.

Assembly & Plating

20

Slice rested ribeye against the grain into 3/4-inch thick slices.

21

Arrange slices on a warm plate. Spoon 1–2 tbsp basil verde beside or over the steak, and place a portion of crispy lemon potatoes and broccolini alongside.

22

Drizzle 2–3 tbsp warm jus around the steak and finish with a spoonful of shallot agrodolce scattered over the steak or potatoes for a sweet-tangy contrast. Garnish with a small basil leaf if desired and serve immediately.
