Ingredients
- 4 (22 to 24-ounce) bone-in rib steaks, preferably quality prime beef that has been wet and dry aged
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- Essence, recipe follows
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- Parmesan Truffled Potato Chips, recipe follows
- Garlic Mushrooms, recipe follows
Directions
Allow the steaks to come to room temperature for up to 1 hour. Rub the steaks on both sides with the vegetable oil and season liberally, to taste, with the Essence, salt, and pepper.
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
Preheat a grill, grill pan, or cast iron skillet to medium-high. When hot, grill the steaks until seared on both sides, about 4 minutes per side. Transfer steaks to a baking sheet and place in the oven. Bake until meat reaches the desired temperature, 120 to 125 degrees F for medium rare. Remove from the oven and let sit for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.

Parmesan Truffled Potato Chips:
- 2 pounds red bliss potatoes, scrubbed well and patted dry, skins left on
- 4 cups vegetable oil, for frying
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan
- 1 tablespoon truffle oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Using a mandoline or very sharp, heavy knife, slice the potatoes into rounds as thin as possible, and place in a large bowl of water to prevent discoloration.
Heat the oil in a large, heavy pot to between 340 and 350 degrees F.
Pat the potatoes completely dry. Add to the oil in batches and cook until golden brown, stirring with a long handled spoon to turn and cook evenly, about 2 minutes. Drain on paper towels and place in a large bowl. Toss with the cheese, truffle oil, salt, and pepper. Serve immediately.
