Scale
Ingredients
- 4 Certified Angus Beef ® ribeye steaks, about 1-inch thick
- 1 bunch green onions
- 1 jalapeño, split in half lengthwise and seeded
- 2 large cloves garlic, still in skin
- 2 limes, juiced
- 1 cup cilantro, roughly chopped
- 1/2 cup canola oil
- 1 teaspoon chipotle powder
- 4 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt, divided
- 2 teaspoons freshly cracked black pepper
Instructions
- Prepare the Scallion Sauce: Heat a large cast-iron or stainless steel skillet over medium-high heat. Add green onions and cook until lightly charred, about 1 minute per side. Remove and set aside. Add jalapeño and garlic (in their skins) to the skillet and cook until softened and slightly charred, about 2 to 3 minutes.
- Blend the Sauce: Peel the charred garlic cloves and place them in a blender. Add the charred green onions, jalapeño, lime juice, cilantro, canola oil, chipotle powder, and 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt. Blend on high, pulsing until large chunks are gone and the oil is emulsified. Set sauce aside.
- Cook the Ribeye Steaks: Season both sides of the ribeye steaks with the remaining kosher salt and cracked black pepper. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add a drizzle of canola oil. When the oil is shimmering, sear the steaks for 4 to 5 minutes on each side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 125°F for medium rare.
- Rest and Serve: Transfer steaks to a cutting board and tent with foil. Let rest for 5 minutes to retain juices. Serve the steaks topped with the warm charred scallion sauce.
Notes
- Skillet Choice: A cast-iron skillet is ideal for achieving a perfect sear and deep crust on the steaks.
- Heat Management: Adjust the stovetop heat as needed to avoid burning the scallions or garlic while charring.
- Add a Twist: Garnish with sliced scallions or fresh lime wedges for added flavor and presentation.
