Blackened Ribeye Steak Recipe

This recipe contains seasonings and method to blacken the steak and give it a rich and savory flavor profile. You can slice and grill onions along side the steak while its cooking which makes even more magic happen! I used a well-marbled grass-fed organic steak which produced such incredible flavor as well as tender juiciness! The black salt (actually visibly a dull grayish pink) contains minerals that add complexity to the flavor of the steak itself and the rub featuring the black garlic and mushroom powder takes it over the top! Black salt, black garlic powder and mushroom powder can be found at a specialty spice shop or from a spice vendor online. Although delicious on its own, you can top this delicious steak with a fried egg and/or serve with a green salad, cauliflower or tomatoes grilled in the skillet you cooked the steak in! You got options! Enjoy!

Ingredients

• 1 12 oz Ribeye steak, boneless, 1.5 inches thick
• ¼ tsp black salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
• ¼ teaspoon black garlic powder
• ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
• 2 tsp porcini mushroom powder
• 1 Tbsp Canola Oil
• 1 Tbsp Butter

Instructions

1. Remove the ribeye from the refrigerator an hour prior to cooking.
2. Pat the steak dry with a paper towel and use your fingers apply black salt all over the steak until evenly coated.
3. In a small bowl mix the remaining seasonings together then massage the rub on all sides of the steak.
4. Allow the steak to sit and come to room temperature for at least 45 minutes while the salt and and other seasonings do their thing.
5. Place a cast iron skillet over high heat, add canola oil and heat until oil begins to smoke. Using tongs carefully place steak in the skillet and allow to sear for 4 minutes and then flip the steak over and allow it to cook for another 3 minutes. If you prefer your steak well done cook steak for an additional minute on each side.
6. Using tongs remove the steak from the skillet and place on a plate with butter on top and allow butter to melt into steak. Allow steak to rest for 5-10 minutes prior to eating. Enjoy!

Notes

Cooking a steak under such high heat creates a lot of smoke so open your windows and doors and turn your vent on. This recipe instructs cooking a boneless ribeye steak until it is medium rare which produces delicious flavor for this cut, however feel free to add or detract a minute or so to achieve your preferred level of doneness. If you are cooking a bone-in steak cook for an additional minute on each side.

If you don’t have black salt on hand, no bid deal! Use 1/2 tsp of Kosher Salt (Diamond Crystal Brand) or 1/4 tsp of pink himalayan or sea salt... even regular ole table salt works!
