Best Recipe for Rib Eyes with Goat Cheese, Meyer Lemon-Honey Mustard and Watercress
Ingredients
- 4 (1 1/2-inch thick) bone-in rib eye steaks, excess fat trimmed
- 1/2 cup clover honey
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons whole grain mustard
- 2 Meyer lemons, juiced
- 1 (11-ounce) log soft goat cheese, from Napa if possible, slightly softened
- 1/4 cup (total) finely chopped fresh thyme, parsley, chervil
- 2 tablespoons California olive oil, plus more for garnish
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- Canola oil
- 1 bunch watercress
- 2 Meyer lemons, halved and lightly grilled
Instructions
- Watch how to make this recipe.
- Remove the steaks from the refrigerator 30 minutes before cooking and let sit at room temperature.
- Preheat the grill for high direct and indirect heat.
- Whisk together the honey, Dijon mustard, whole grain mustard and lemon juice in a small bowl and let sit at room temperature for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
- Mix together the cheese, herbs and olive oil in a bowl until combined and season with salt and pepper. Refrigerate until ready to use.
- Brush the steaks with canola oil and sprinkle liberally with salt and pepper. Grill over direct heat until slightly charred, about 5 minutes. Flip the steaks and move it away from the coals, close the cover and grill until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center registers 135 degrees F, about 10 minutes. Remove from the grill to a cutting board.
- Top the steaks with the goat cheese and drizzle with the vinaigrette. Scatter the watercress over the tops, and then finish with a good drizzle of olive oil. Garnish the platter with the grilled lemon halves.
