Ingredients

  • Rib eye steaks
  • Extra virgin olive oil
  • Kosher salt
  • Freshly cracked black pepper
  • 3/4 cup dairy-free sour cream
  • 1/4 cup mayo
  • 1/4 cup grated fresh horseradish
  • 1/2 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon white vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon fresh pepper 

Instructions

  • REVERSE SEAR RIB EYE
  •  1. Pat the room-temperature steaks dry with a paper towel to remove any extra moisture. 
  • Brush the steak with extra-virgin olive oil, generous amounts of kosher salt, and a healthy dose of fresh pepper. (If you want to add any other spices, now is the time.) 
  • Season both sides, pressing the seasoning into the steak. 
  • Preheat the oven to 275°F, just hot enough not to trigger any searing or browning.
  • Place the seasoned steaks on a rack over a baking tray (cover the tray with foil to save yourself any clean-up). 
  • Place the steaks in the oven and cook until the internal temperature reaches 125°F, depending on your preference of “doneness.” 125°F is medium rare, 135°F medium. This usually takes around 45-60 minutes.
  • Remove when the temp reaches 125°F. Allow the steak to rest for 15 minutes under a tented foil. This will bring the temp up several degrees. 
  • Preheat a skillet, grill pan, or heavy-based cast iron pan to screamingly hot, almost smoking, temperatures. 
  • Sear steak for 1 1/2 minutes on each side (don't move it around) until it develops a perfectly crisp, charred outside. Because you rested the steak prior to the sear, you can sear, serve and eat it right away. No waiting. Cuz let's be real, who wants a lukewarm steak, and who wants to wait? 
  • Slice and sprinkle with Maldon Sea Salt Flakes. 
  • While the steak is perfect on its own, the creamy bite of the horseradish sauce adds a little sharpness and slight tang that pairs incredibly well with the beef. 
  • HORSERADISH CREMA    
  • Sprinkle chives before serving.
  • Place all the ingredients into a medium mixing bowl and whisk until the mixture is smooth and creamy. 
  • Place in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow flavors to meld. Sauce can be stored in the refrigerator in an airtight container for 2 to 3 weeks.
