How to cook the steak.  So My husband loves steak.. We don’t eat it much for health reasons and cost.  So this week I splurged,  and the steaks were 40% off at the store.   Mushroom Rub makes these steaks amazing.   So I am sharing it with you,  caramelized,  dark, crusty meat,  with the tender buttery inside  the perfect steak at home. Lets say I am still dreaming about it my rib eye.    This recipe less costly version and adapted from Mario Batalis Ribeye

In the past I have found steaks to be intimidating to purchase.  To spend so much money and what if I screw it up.  also how do I know it is a good tender cut.   I like a ribeye because they have great marbling (the white fat specks in the meat)  the more marbling you have the tender the cut,  that does not dry out,  the flat melts into the meat.   I love the bone in because dogs like it.

The secret is Mushroom Rubbed Steak  : I easily found shiitake Mushrooms at my local Asian market but you can find them at the grocery store.  They were a $2.00 for a bag I only used 1/2 a bag aout 6-7 mushrooms are enough for this recipe.  (grind in a coffee mill or in a Nutribullet like I did) Do break into into smaller pieces when ginding

Ingredients for the perfect Steak

Mushroom Rubbed Steak

• 3- 1 1/2- 2  pound thick steaks (I like the bone in)
• 1/4 cup of red cooking wine

RUB:

• 1/3 cup brown sugar
• 1/2 cup  dried ground  Shiitake mushrooms..(dried 7 mushrooms)

How to cook a Rib Eye Steak

1. The night before generously salt the steaks leave uncovered in the refrigerator
2. 1 hour before cooking remove from the cold plate and put rub on steak both sides and push it in to steak,
3. Allow the steaks to come to room temp w/ rub before placing on grill
4. Turn on Grill on high
5. Before placing steaks on the grill splash on Red wine vinegar on up side
6. Place on grill
7. 3 min high – 4 min med  each side (Thick steaks close the grill.) (7 min each side for med rare)
8.  Allow the steaks to rest 15 min before eating  (rest will allow the steak to relax and take the juice back in it also will allow the meat to cook slower as it cools down.
