How to prepare the perfect grilled rib-eye steak
- Take the meat out of the refrigerator at least 30 minutes before grilling so it can come to room temperature.
- Rub the rib-eye steaks with chili olive oil and generously sprinkle with the Nicolas Vahé BBQ spice mix.
- Grill the meat directly over high heat for a beautiful crust. Depending on thickness, 3–4 minutes per side for medium-rare.
- Let the meat rest for 5 minutes under aluminum foil. Then season with coarse salt and pepper to taste.
- If desired, slice and serve stylishly at the table — for example on bamboo skewers for a modern presentation.
Serving and styling tips: make it Scandinavian!
Present the meat on a wooden board for that pure Nordic look. Combine it with fresh salads, crusty bread, and a simple dressing made with Nicolas Vahé olive oil and lemon, for example. Let everyone pick up their own bamboo skewers for a relaxed yet festive effect.
The secret to extra flavor
- Marinate the meat longer with the spice mix for even more depth.
- Use the chili olive oil not only for rubbing the meat, but also as a spicy dip when serving!
- Don’t forget to enjoy it: a good glass of wine, beautiful plates, and candles do a lot for the atmosphere.
How do you style your table in Nicolas Vahé style?
