How to top a ribeye

[texastweeter]

If you don't go the compound butter route, some morels sautéed down in butter with some fresh herbs are ALWAYS impressive.

This time of year? Mmmm….. and if you can get morels this time of year, I will be on your doorstep!

SheilaAnn they sell frozen ones here. Not quite as good, but still fantastic.

I've only put two additions on my steak since I grew up and could choose - Tabasco sauce (99% of the time) or a hot Verde sauce (1%).
I would definitely put those out in bowls unless you know your guests very well.

The only other topping I'd consider is Nothing.

I recently did some smoked prime ribeyes with cowboy butter. ‘Twas superb! But I do like the blue cheese idea, which I know isn’t for everyone.

I’m a sucker for a little compound butter. Another option is what I cooked for my wife the very first time I ever cooked for her…ribeye with a little slice of goat cheese on top.

Thanks for all the great ideas. I am going to try some of these beforehand and provide options for my guests. I think they are going to enjoy the process of testing out the different options anyways.

Tried Meatheads board sauce tonight and I agree with his assessment that it does not overpower, but compliments nicely.

+10000000 for testing things out ahead of time. You can never go wrong if you already know how to go wrong!

…that sounds like a tshirt!

Who the heck did a small pan of mushrooms (cremini?) just plopped on the smoker? They got all happy happy…. And looked delicious…..

and what are you going to pour? Assuming there might be wine involved?

We actually don’t drink.

Sauté a cup of shallots and tsp of thyme per steak. Cover each steak and pour over a red wine jus.

JCBBQ what book is that from? Looks familiar….

[JCBBQ]

SheilaAnn 😂😂😂 It should you recommended it to me. Bouchon…in case you were really asking.

[SheilaAnn]

JCBBQ funny, I immediately grabbed French Laundry and checked, then put it down. Didn’t even think to grab Bouchon!

[JCBBQ]
