Feel free to substitute New York steak if that's your preference. Searing the steaks in a cast iron skillet before baking imparts a flavorful crust, elevating the taste to new heights.

Pair your steak with an array of delightful sides such as creamy mashed potatoes, baked potatoes, vegetables, a refreshing side salad, and more. In our experience, hot roast potatoes and Caesar salad with garlic bread complement this dish perfectly. Below, I'll provide links to some of my favorite side dish recipes to enhance your culinary adventure with this ribeye steak.

This recipe is designed for two large rib-eye steaks, each weighing about a pound, serving approximately four people. If you're hosting a larger gathering, simply double the ingredients to cater to your crowd.

Ingredients:

3 rib-eye steaks

Salt: 1 teaspoon for the base steak flavor, 1/2 tablespoon for the zest mixture, extra for the mushrooms, plus 1 teaspoon for the cream sauce

Black pepper: 2 teaspoons (for the mushrooms) and 1 teaspoon (for the cream sauce)

Garlic powder: 2 teaspoons

Paprika: 2 teaspoons

Whole mushrooms, as needed for serving

Olive oil for seasoning the mushrooms

1 cup heavy cream

1 teaspoon lemon juice

1/3 cup mozzarella cheddar cheese

1 tablespoon margarine

Directions:

Remove the steaks a few hours before cooking, sprinkle with 1 teaspoon of salt, and place them in parchment paper. Allow them to sit in the refrigerator for about two hours to remove excess moisture.

Take the steaks out of the refrigerator, discard the paper, and pat them dry. Combine the dry spices and ½ tablespoon of salt. Lightly coat each side of the steak with this mixture and let it reach room temperature for 20 minutes.

While the steaks are resting, drizzle whole mushrooms with olive oil and roast them for 20 minutes, seasoning with salt and pepper at the halfway mark.

Preheat the oven to 375°F and heat a cast iron skillet on the stovetop over medium-high heat. Sprinkle the excess dry seasoning evenly over the steaks. Sear each side of the steak for a few minutes. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven. After 2 minutes, turn off the oven and let the steaks cook for an additional 6 to 8 minutes.

Allow the steaks to rest, then use the same skillet on the stove over medium heat to prepare the creamy sauce. Combine heavy cream, salt, pepper, lemon juice, and mozzarella. Once blended, add margarine and stir until melted.

Plate the steaks, top with roasted mushrooms, and drizzle with the creamy sauce. Serve alongside your favorite vegetables.

Enjoy your scrumptious meal!
