GUIDE / INSTRUCTIONS

For the Porcini Dry-Rubbed Rib Eye:
Steak:
  • Brush steaks with oil; set aside. Grind porcini in a food processor until fine; transfer to bowl and add sugar, pepper, chili flakes, salt and garlic powder; combine. Generously sprinkle mix on steaks (save any extra for other use), and rub into meat. Place steaks in a resealable plastic bag, squeezing out as much air as possible, and refrigerate at least 8 hours or up to 2 days.
  • Preheat grill to medium. Drain any liquid from steaks; pat dry gently. Let stand at room temperature 20 minutes before grilling to your desired degree of doneness. Let rest tented with foil 5 minutes before slicing. Meanwhile, grill lemons until well marked. Place arugula in a medium bowl and squeeze one of grilled lemon pieces over the top. Drizzle with oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper; toss.
Plating:
  • Slice steak and fan out on a plate, sprinkling with a little sea salt. Garnish with grilled lemon quarter and serve salad alongside.
