Fireside Ribeye Steak with Creamy Mushroom Sauce

Welcome to a rustic culinary adventure inspired by the techniques of WILDERNESS COOKING. Today, we're crafting an indulgent fireside Ribeye Steak accompanied by a creamy mushroom sauce. Prepare to infuse the prime cut of beef with the smoky essence of the wild and pair it with the luxurious earthiness of mushrooms in a rich sauce.

Ingredients:

- 1 Ribeye Steak, at least 1-inch thick

- Salt, to taste

- Black pepper, to taste

- Lamb fat, for rendering (substitute with beef tallow or butter if unavailable)

- 1 Onion, finely chopped

- Mushrooms, sliced (variety of your choice)

- Olive oil, for sautéing mushrooms

- For Creamy Mushroom Sauce:

- 1 cup Heavy Cream

- Salt and pepper, to enhace sauce

- Additional herbs (optional, such as thyme or rosemary)

Instructions:

1. Prep Time: 15 minutes

2. Cook Time: 10-15 minutes (Depending on desired steak doneness)

3. Total Time: 25-30 minutes

4. Begin by igniting a hearty fire in a safe outdoor location, placing a flat stone or cast-iron skillet close to the flames to preheat.

5. Liberally season your Ribeye Steak with salt and freshly ground black pepper, pressing the seasoning into the meat.

6. Once hot, place lamb fat onto the stone or skillet. Allow it to melt and render, which will be your cooking fat.

7. Carefully set the seasoned steak onto the hot stone or skillet. Cook for about 5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or adjust to your preference.

8. Remove the steak and let it rest, covering lightly with foil to keep it warm.

9. In the same cooking area, add a splash of olive oil and throw in the sliced mushrooms. Saute until golden brown.

10. Add the finely chopped onion, cooking until it turns translucent and combines well with the mushrooms.

11. Pour in the heavy cream, stirring constantly. Allow the sauce to simmer gently until it thickens. Season with additional salt, pepper, and optional herbs.

12. After the steak has rested for a few minutes, spoon the creamy mushroom sauce over it.

13. Serve immediately and enjoy the fusion of robust flavors and creamy indulgence.

Equipment:

- Fire source

- Flat stone or cast-iron skillet

- Cooking utensils (tongs, spoon)

Cooking Tips:

- Letting the steak rest after cooking ensures the juices redistribute, enhancing its tenderness and flavor.

- For an optimal sauce consistency, maintain a gentle simmer – boiling aggressively can cause the sauce to separate.

Servings: 1-2 servings, depending on the size of the steak
