Father’s Day is around the corner, and I don’t know about the men in your life, but mine are meat-loving, steak-eating men. Maybe it’s the Texas in them? No matter the reason, they will love this Porcini Rubbed Ribeye with Arugula Salad. 

Porcini Rubbed Ribeye with Arugula Salad

Here is a fun steak recipe that I recently created for my hubby. A perfectly seared ribeye steak, seasoned with a delicious dry rub of savory porcini mushrooms, then topped with a light and peppery arugula salad. I recently had something similar at a restaurant here in Dallas, Sachet, and thought the flavor combinations were so delicious.

I also love serving this Porcini Rubbed Ribeye with Arugula Salad family-style, like I did in the photo, and plating it by slicing the steak into large chunks and topping it with the simple salad and a few shaves of parmesan cheese. You can omit the cheese to keep it Whole30 compliant, but it’s a nice touch if you are okay with a little dairy.

Porcini Rubbed Ribeye with Arugula Salad

Prep: 15 minutes
Cook: 20 minutes
Steak Drying time:: 1 hour
Total: 1 hour 35 minutes
Servings: 4 people

Ingredients 

For the Ribeye Steaks:

  • 2 boneless ribeye steaks about 16 oz
  • 1.5 oz dried porcini mushrooms
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/2 tsp freshly cracked black pepper
  • 2 tbsp olive oil

For the Arugula Salad:

  • 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tsp dijon mustard
  • 2 tbsp champagne vinegar
  • pinch of salt
  • a few fresh cracks of black pepper
  • 5 oz baby arugula
  • shaved parmesan optional

Instructions 

For the Ribeye Steaks:

  • Place the ribeye steaks on a rack and transfer to the fridge, uncovered for at least an hour. This helps the steaks get that golden brown sear on the outside. 
  • Using a coffee grinder, grind the porcini mushrooms until it is the consistency of powder. Coat both sides of the ribeye with 1 teaspoon of the mushroom powder. 
  • Season liberally with kosher salt and black pepper. Using your fingers, press the seasonings into the steak. 
  • Heat a cast iron skillet over medium high heat. When it is very hot, add olive oil. Swirl the pan so it is evenly coated. Gently lay the steaks into the pan and sear on each side for 3 minutes, until a golden brown crust has formed. Then, continue flipping the steak one minute at a time, until a deep brown crust has formed and the temperature reaches 120-130 degrees, about 5 minutes total. Transfer steak to a cutting board and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing into 4 large chunks. 

For the Arugula Salad:

  • In a large bowl, add the olive oil, dijon, salt and pepper. Whisk to combine. Right before serving, add the arugula and toss to combine. Sprinkle with shaved parmesan. Top steak with arugula salad, serve family style and enjoy!

  1. Any suggested substitutes for the porcini mushrooms, due to allergies? Or assume it would be good with just the other ingredients.
