Ribeye on a Stone

Experience the unique flavors and textures of cooking a ribeye on a volcanic stone. This method infuses the meat with rich and earthy tones, pairing perfectly with traditional Mexican toppings. Whether you're crafting a gourmet meal or a casual dish, this recipe will transform your culinary repertoire.

Ingredients:

• 🥩 1 ribeye steak
• 🧂 Salt, to taste
• 🌶️ Black pepper, to taste
• 🧅 2 Mexican green onions (or spring onions)
• 🧄 1 shallot
• 🫒 1 tablespoon cooking oil
• 🌿 Fresh salsa molcajeteada (for serving)
• 🌽 Corn tortillas (for serving)

Instructions:

1. Preparation of the Stone:
   • Start by thoroughly rinsing your volcanic stone with water and vinegar using a brush to ensure it's clean.
   • Let it dry completely before use.
2. Seasoning the Stone:
   • Heat the stone on your propane stove or grill. Once hot, rub the surface with half of a sliced shallot. This not only seasons the stone but also imparts a delightful aroma.
3. Preparing the Steak:
   • Season the ribeye on both sides with salt and pepper according to your taste.
4. Cooking:
   • Drizzle a tablespoon of cooking oil on the stone to prevent sticking.
   • Place the seasoned ribeye and halved Mexican green onions on the hot stone.
   • Cook the steak to your desired doneness: for medium-rare, aim for about 4 minutes per side, adjusting according to your preference. The heat from the stone gives a perfect sear.
   • Turn the onions occasionally until they are tender and slightly charred.
5. Serving:
   • Once cooked, slice the ribeye into strips.
   • Serve with warm corn tortillas, placing a few slices of ribeye and some onions in each. Top with fresh salsa molcajeteada for added flavor.
     Cooking Tips:

• Keep an eye on the steak to prevent overcooking; the stone retains heat well and can cook faster than anticipated.
• Make sure the stone is well-heated before laying the steak to achieve an even char.
