REVERSE SEARED ELAND RIBEYE
If you're going to start somewhere with eland, start here. The ribeye will teach you more about this animal than any other cut — the marbling, the fat, the way it holds heat differently than beef. Two things I learned early: resting is non-negotiable, and the fat is everything on this cut. Eland fat renders beautifully when you give it proper heat, and that's what takes this steak from good to exceptional.
Ingredients:
Eland Ribeye
Beef or Eland Tallow
Kosher Salt
Fresh cracked black pepper
Instructions
Ribeye:
1, Pull your ribeye from the refrigerator at least 30 minutes before cooking and season generously on all sides with kosher salt and black pepper.
2, Preheat your oven to 225°F. Place the steak on a wire rack over a sheet pan and cook for 12 minutes.
3, Remove from the oven and rest for 10 minutes. Do not skip this step.
4, Heat a cast iron skillet over high heat with a generous amount of beef tallow until just beginning to smoke.
5, Sear the steak, pressing lightly to ensure full contact, approximately 1 minute per side until a deep crust forms.
6, Rest 5 minutes before slicing against the grain and serving.
Pull temp: 125–130°F Target finished temp: 130–135°F
