Preparation time: 15 minutes
Cooking time: 30 minutes
Total time: 45 minutes
Number of servings: 8
Ingredients:
- 800 g boneless beef ribeye
- 400 g white grapes
- 50-100 g black grapes (or a preferred variety)
- 80 g butter
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 200 ml dry white wine
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 6-8 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Preparing the ribeye:
1. Start by preparing the meat. Wash the ribeye under cold running water and place it on a kitchen towel to absorb excess liquid. This step is essential for achieving a nice, crispy crust when frying.
2. Use a meat mallet to gently pound the ribeye on both sides. This process helps tenderize the meat, making the dish even more delicious.
3. Season the meat with salt and pepper, then place it in a dish. Drizzle with a tablespoon of olive oil, cover the dish, and let it marinate in the refrigerator for 24 hours. If using older meat, you can extend the marination time to 36 hours for optimal tenderness.
Cooking the ribeye:
1. Take the ribeye out of the refrigerator about 30 minutes before cooking, so it reaches room temperature.
2. In a large skillet, add the butter and the 4 tablespoons of olive oil. Heat over medium heat until the butter is completely melted.
3. On a flat plate, place the flour. Dredge the ribeye in flour on both sides, shaking off the excess.
4. Place the meat in the skillet, ensuring it does not overlap. Fry the ribeye for 2 minutes on each side until golden. Remove the meat to a deep plate and cover to keep warm.
5. Continue frying the remaining pieces of meat, repeating the same procedure.
Preparing the sauce:
1. Use the remaining oil and butter from the skillet. Add the white wine and brown sugar, mixing well. Allow to simmer for 5-7 minutes until the sauce thickens.
2. At this point, add the white grapes that you washed earlier. Let the sauce simmer for another 7 minutes, stirring occasionally.
3. Return the meat to the skillet, covering it with the sauce. Let it simmer on low heat for 5 minutes, then flip the meat and continue cooking for another 5 minutes.
4. Add the black grapes as well, allowing everything to simmer for another 2 minutes. Done! Your ribeye with grapes is now perfect.
Serving:
Serve immediately, warm, accompanied by a side of mashed potatoes or steamed vegetables, which will perfectly complement the flavors of this delicious dish.
Useful tips:
- When choosing the ribeye, look for meat with a light color, indicating it is younger. Darker meat may require a longer marination.
- If you desire a richer sauce, you can add some toasted nuts or sliced almonds for extra texture.
- This recipe pairs perfectly with a dry white wine that complements the flavors on the plate.
Nutritional information:
Beef ribeye is an excellent source of protein, iron, and vitamin B12, making it a healthy choice for a balanced meal. Grapes provide an important contribution of antioxidants and vitamins, making this dish not only delicious but also nutritious.
Frequently asked questions:
1. Can I use another type of meat instead of ribeye?
Yes, you can try other types of meat, such as beef tenderloin or pork, but cooking times may vary.
2. What can I use instead of white wine?
You can substitute the wine with chicken or vegetable broth to create a non-alcoholic sauce.
3. Can I prepare this dish in advance?
