Skillet Rib-Eye Steak

This is my favorite way to prepare ribeye steak. Everything is made in the cast iron skillet – how awesome is that?

I like my steak medium (165 degrees). This usually takes about 6 minutes in the oven, after a quick sear on the stovetop.

Remove the steaks from the skillet to rest. Then use the drippings in the pan to make a delicious mushroom Marsala cream sauce.

I’ve included my recipe for dandelion greens which is optional but highly recommended.

Enjoy!

Ingredients

Steak

  • 2 pounds ribeye steak boneless
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons butter unsalted
  • salt and pepper

Sautéed Dandelions

  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 bunch dandelion greens stems trimmed
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • ¼ teaspoon red chili flakes
  • salt and pepper

Marsala Mushroom Sauce

  • 4 ounces mushroom mix shitake, cremini, oyster
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • ½ cup Marsala Wine
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • ½ cup beef broth
  • salt and pepper

Directions

  • In the morning, season steaks liberally with salt and pepper. Place on a cooling rack in the refrigerator to airbrine.

In the evening:

  • Preheat oven to 400°F and remove steaks from refrigerator.
  • Warm 3 tablespoons olive oil in a large sauté pan over medium heat. Cut the dandelion greens into 3-inch pieces. Add them to the pan along with the garlic. Sauté until the greens are tender, about 8 minutes. Add the chili flakes, and season with salt and pepper. Keep warm.

Cook steaks:

  • Warm a cast-iron pan over high heat. Add 2 tablespoons olive oil and 2 tablespoons butter. Sear the steaks 3 minutes on each side. Transfer pan to the oven and cook until beef has reached 145°F for medium, about 6 minutes. Transfer beef to a cutting board. Let steaks rest while you make the sauce.

Make sauce:

  • Add the mushrooms to the drippings in the cast-iron pan over medium heat. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the garlic and cook 1 minute. Add the Marsala and bring to a boil for 1 minute to burn off the alcohol. Stir in the heavy cream and beef broth. Bring to a boil and cook until thickened, about 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Use a sharp knife to slice the ribeye steaks. Serve with the Marsala sauce and sautéed greens.
