Recipes
4 Personal Gourmet 13 oz Ribeye steaks
4 tablespoons cumin seeds
4 tablespoons coriander seeds
4 tablespoons fennel seeds
4 tablespoons mustard seeds
8 tablespoons oregano
2 tablespoons onion powder
2 tablespoons garlic powder
4 tablespoons paprika
6 bay leaves
Salt and pepper
1 (6-ounce) can chipotle adobo
4 garlic cloves
1 lemon, juiced
Extra-virgin olive oil
4 poblanos, sliced into rings
2 red onions, sliced into rings
1 cup flour
1/2 cup buttermilk
Preparation
Toast and grind the cumin, coriander, fennel, and mustard seeds. Combine these with the oregano, onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, bay leaves, salt, and pepper. Divide the spice mixture into 2 equal parts. Rub both sides of each steak with olive oil and then rub each steak generously with one half of the spice mix and set aside.
In a food processor, puree together the chipotle adobo, garlic, and lemon juice and rub this on the steaks. Let them marinate for 3 hours, refrigerated.
Preheat oven to 350°.
Heat up 2 tablespoons of oil in pan. Cook the steak for approximately 2 to 3 minutes on each side; then finish off in the oven for approximately 4 minutes.
Heat up a pan with about 1-inch of oil. Mix the remaining spice mix into 1 cup flour. While the steaks are in the oven, dip the poblano and the onion rings in the buttermilk, and then dip into the seasoned flour. Fry the rings in the heated oil, turning the rings on both sides until golden brown.
Arrange the steaks on a serving platter and top off with the onion and poblano rings.

Four 10 oz or 15 oz Personal Gourmet New York steaks
Salt and pepper
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
3 tablespoons finely chopped shallots
¼ cup whiskey (can substitute with cognac)
½ low sodium chicken stock
½ teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
½ cup heavy cream
Fresh lemon juice
Bring the steaks to room temperature and season each side generously with salt and pepper.
Heat a heavy skillet large enough to hold all 4 steaks, over medium high heat. Add the butter and when it begins to foam add the steaks. Cook for 3 minutes, or until the bottoms are nicely browned. Turn the steaks and cook the other side for another 3 minutes for rare. (Add 2 Minutes for the thicker steaks per side) Transfer to a warm platter and cover with aluminum foil.
To make the pan sauce, lower the heat to medium and add the shallots to the skillet. Cook stirring for about 1 minute. Remove the pan from the heat and add the whiskey and scrape any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Return the skillet the heat, add the chicken stock and Worcestershire sauce and bring to a boil.
Whisk in the mustard and then the cream and simmer whisking until the sauce is reduced to a syrupy consistency, 2 to 3 minutes.
Season to taste with salt, pepper and lemon juice.
Return the steaks to the skillet and add any steaks juices to the skillet. Warn the steaks and pour some sauce over them .
