Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Farro Verde

   In a medium pot, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Add the farro verde and a pinch of salt. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 30 minutes until tender. Drain and set aside.

   Prepare the Vinaigrette

   In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Set aside.

3. 3

   Cook the Rib Eye

   Preheat a grill or a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Season the rib eye steaks with salt and black pepper. Grill or sear the steaks for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness. Remove from the grill and let rest for 5 minutes.

4. 4

   Sauté the Porcini and Pepitas

   In a skillet, heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped porcini mushrooms and sauté for 5-7 minutes until tender. Add the pepitas and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until toasted.

5. 5

   Roast the Red Bell Pepper

   Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Cut the red bell pepper in half, remove seeds, and place on a baking sheet. Roast for about 20 minutes until charred. Allow to cool, then chop into small pieces.
