Name: Grilled Rib Eye with Indian-Spiced Mushrooms
Cook time: 20 min
Total time: 30 min
Yield: Makes 4 servings
Ingredients: 2 or 3 (1 1/4-inch-thick) boneless rib-eye steaks (about 3/4 pound each); 2 teaspoons finely chopped peeled ginger; 1 teaspoon finely chopped garlic; 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin; 1/2 teaspoon curry powder; 1/8 teaspoon cayenne; 3 tablespoons vegetable oil; 1 tablespoon tomato paste; 1 pound cremini mushrooms, halved; 1/4 cup water; 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro

Mushrooms spiked with the flavors of India add complexity and exoticism to beefy, well-marbled rib eye. They also go with virtually any other cut of steak.

Cooks' note:

Steaks can be cooked in an oiled hot 2-burner grill pan (uncovered) or in a hot skillet with 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium-high heat.

This is what I call a fridge-eater recipe. The key here is getting a nice sear on the sausage and cooking the tomato down until it coats the sausage and vegetables well.

This is the type of soup that, at first glance, might seem a little…unexciting. But you’re underestimating the power of mushrooms, which do the heavy lifting.
