The best way to cook a rib-eye steak so it will be tender, juicy, and perfectly medium rare • Serves 1
Rib-eye steak with sweet potatoes and mushrooms
Ingredients
Method
• 300g rib-eye
• 1 sweet potato
• Romanesco
• 150g button mushrooms
• Butter
1. Pre-heat your grill pan.
2. Place rib-eye steak on the grill.
Cook over direct heat for 4
minutes on each side for medi-
um rare.
3. Cook in the oven for 5 minutes.
4. Let steak rest outside the oven
for 4 minutes. The juices will
redistribute throughout the

results.
5. Cut the sweet potato into
cubes and boil for 15 minutes.
6. Add 10g of butter and season-
ing.
7. Boil the Romanesco for 5
minutes.
