SERVES 4 -8 , 4 Steaks

4 great big rosas farms all grass-fed organic rib eye steaks (at least 1-inch thick)
1/2 cup mascovado sugar
1/4 cup kosher salt
20 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1/4 cup crushed red pepper flakes (original recipe calls for "7 Spice, but says crushed red peppers can subsitute)
1/4 cup freshly ground peppercorn, mixture
3/4 cup organic olive oil
olive oil, and
balsamic vinegar, for drizzle (top quality, of course)

In a small bowl, combine the sugar, salt, garlic, 7 spice (or crushed red pepper if using), peppercorns and olive oil. Stir well to form a thick, fairly dry paste.
Rub the paste over the entire steak, coating evenly and refrigerate, wrapped in plastic, for 6 hours (Sous vide/under vacuum for 3 hours).
Preheat grill or pan.
Remove steak from the refrigerator let stand at room temperature for 60-90 minutes then brush off (Do not rinse) excess marinade (Sugar will burn).
Cook on the hottest part of the grill for 2 minutes ¼ turn for grill mark and another 2 minutes flip over and repeat the process.
Total cook time total is 8 minutes. Remove from heat and LET STEAK REST 7-10 minutes for a perfect medium rare. Slice against the grain (or serve it as is).
Drizzle with organic balsamic vinegar (Of the highest quality) serve immediately.
For Pan frying, fry in a mixture of ½ organic olive oil ½ organic butter in a hot pan for 4 minutes on medium high heat flip over and fry for 4 additional minutes allow to rest. This steak is always a favorite at Rosas Farms.
