How To Make Grilled Rib-eye With Fra Diavolo Lobster Relish?
- Cook the Lobster: Bring an inch of water to a boil in a large pot with a steamer insert. Pierce the lobster under the head and steam for 8 minutes.
- Prepare the Garlic and Tomato Mixture: While the lobster cooks, heat 15ml olive oil and garlic in a pan over medium heat until golden. Transfer to a bowl. Add 60g quartered cherry tomatoes, a pinch of red pepper flakes, 1/2 lemon zest, and juice, and season with salt and pepper.
- Chop the Lobster Meat: After steaming, place the lobster in an ice bath. Once cool, remove the shell and chop the meat. Add it to the tomato mixture and drizzle with olive oil.
- Heat the Lobster Relish: Heat the remaining 15ml olive oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Add the lobster-tomato mixture and cook for 1 minute. Add a splash of white wine and cook for another minute. Stir in 15g fresh parsley and 15g fresh oregano.
- Prep the Steak: Let the 680g rib-eye steak sit at room temperature for 20 minutes.
- Mix the Spice Rub: In a bowl, mix 30g ancho chile powder, 15g Spanish paprika, 10g dry mustard, 5g kosher salt, 2g cayenne, 2g ground coriander, 2g ground cumin, and 2g ground black pepper.
- Preheat the Pan: Preheat a cast-iron pan over high heat and set the oven to broil.
- Season the Steak: Brush the steak with 30ml canola oil, season with salt and pepper, and sprinkle with the spice rub.
- Cook the Steak: Drizzle some canola oil in the pan. Add the steak, rub side down, and cook for 2 minutes until a crust forms.
- Broil the Steak: Slice the steak into 2.5cm thick pieces, return to the pan, rub side up, and add 45g sliced butter. Broil for about 4 minutes for medium-rare.
- Baste and Rest: Remove from the oven and baste with the pan juices.
- Serve: Arrange the steak slices and lobster relish on a plate. Drizzle with 15ml of steak juices and garnish with parsley and oregano.
Recipe Tips:
- Rest the Steak Before Cooking: Let the rib-eye steak sit at room temperature for at least 20 minutes before cooking to ensure even cooking and a juicy texture.
- Use Fresh Lobster: Fresh lobster will give your dish a more flavorful and tender result compared to frozen lobster.
- Perfect the Spice Rub: Don’t skip the spice rub! It adds a delicious crust to the steak, so make sure to coat it generously on both sides.
- Monitor the Steak Temperature: Use a meat thermometer to check the steak’s doneness. Aim for 54°C for medium-rare.
- Baste with Butter: Once the steak is broiled, add butter on top and let it melt for an extra rich flavor and juiciness.
