9/17/11 Bone-in Cowboy Ribeye & CraZ Mac N Cheese

-

Scott wanted the ribeye...I wanted the Mac n cheese...and they are a marriage made in heaven.
The recipe for the mac n cheese is on here already...we didn't add chicken this time because of the steak...but thin pancetta, asparagus and baby bella mushrooms were in order...you could easily eliminate them all and just do the mac n cheeses...but oh how I love the bacon and 'shrooms...and something green makes me feel so healthy!  (and it's yummy too)

Scott's Cowboy Ribeye (Bone-in)
1 Bone in Ribeye...at least 1 lb (his was about 20-22 oz) brought to room temp
smothered in Emeril's Essence (see the Marriage Chili recipe for the essence recipe)...heat a cast iron skillet (please ventilate the house with open doors/windows or do outside) over medium heat and sear steak 12-15 min per side (it will smoke and look black...do not panic)
let rest with a pat of butter (and blue cheese crumbles) for at least 10-15 min
EAT!
This steak is enough for two people to share....serve with CRaZ mac and cheese for an out of body meal....CraZ mac and cheese is what is also for dinner tonight..leftovers are genius

  Chicken Marsala and pilaf....HEAVENLY!  One of my new favorites from Everything Man.  We ate it two nights in a row it was so good. Recipe: Thin chicken breasts (2 cut in half), s&p, then lightly flour, pat off excess, brown on both sides in a little evoo & butter, set aside 1-2 lbs Mushrooms, sliced & caramelized in evoo & butter in same pan as chicken, add 1 tsp chopped garlic at very end so it doesn't burn Deglaze with 1 Cup Marsala wine & 1/4 Cup Sherry (we had cream sherry on hand) and reduce by 25% then add 1 Cup Chicken Stock (good quality).  Add fresh herbs, chives, parsley, optional. Serve over  pilaf,  noodles...cardboard, it won't matter.
