NIgel obviously didn't want to disclose the ratio of the various ingredients mentioned in the episode, and I'm delighted he didn't...that's what's fun about improving your culinary skills. Try making jerk steak as often as Nigel has and eventually you'll come up w/ a rub and sauce w/ ratios strikingly similar to his based on the information he provided both directly by telling you and from what you can obtain by checking out what he puts in the processor (if you DVR'd the episode then let your palate tell you the perfect balance found on my travels through Jamaica. While Bobby loses most of the Throwdowns I've watched, it's evident by the number of folks they interview during the taste test that he's a culinary polymath, able to please palates the world over.

Absolutely delicious. Finally got a "delicious" from 2 neighbors I've been trying too impress. And that was without the sauce.

OK, so the recipe can be found online with a google search for ripe's jerk ribeye. Yes, it calls for 3/4 cup allspice, and yes, that would cost a ton, unless you shop at smart and final or costco. I got 2 cups worth for about 3$ from smart and final. The scotch bonnet is IMPOSSIBLE to find, and the ajicito is even harder. I substituted 1 1/2 habaneros, seeds removed. YU-MMY!!!! The steaks are marinating in the fridge right now, but the paste was definately jerk and definately great! I will let you all know how the relish turns out and how the steak fares as well. Leave it to Flay to make your mouth water. .. . Oh, and if you want the perfect mojito to accompany this dish, check out emeril's mojito, the one with the 16 slices of lime, this is the best people, simply the best!

We didnt have time to make the Papaya Relish so we had the steaks alone, I am definitely going to try the relish next time, just in case it could possible be any better. Where I live, Central Valley California, you cant buy a steak this good and we made it in our own backyard with ingredients from a regular grocery store.

I would like to get an ACCURATE recipe for the winner though & try it too, gonna keep checking Food Network to see if it comes up. Otherwise I will email the restaurant for it.

Definitely a yummy Rib Eye. Now I just need a good recipe for when I want to fry a steak.

Thanks for posting Nigel's recipe, Renee, but I have to question the quantities.. 1/4 cup black pepper, 1/2 cup salt, 3/4 cup ground allspice? The allspice alone would set you back about $80, lol.. I wonder if those are supposed to be teaspoons instead of cups? I DVR'd this episode today and will have to rewatch it to see if he gives out quantities, but I didn't think he did.. the judges did say it was a bit salty though, so who knows.

I don't remember exactly what was in NIgel's jerk rub but I remember the green sauce consisting of garlic, cilantro, parsley, and lemon juice. Throw it in a food processor and you're good.
