Cuba Libre-style bone-in ribeye

A bone-in ribeye marinated in rum and cola, caramelized, and deglazed with lime, inspired by the Cuba Libre.

Ingredients

  • 1.2 kg Bone-in ribeye
  • 200 ml Rum
  • 330 ml Cola
  • 50 ml Sweet soy sauce
  • 30 ml Honey
  • 5 g 4-spice blend
  • 5 g Cracked black pepper
  • 5 g Smoked paprika
  • 30 ml Neutral oil
  • 2 pieces Lime
  • 5 g Fleur de sel

Method

  1. Prepare the marinade by mixing the rum, cola, sweet soy sauce, honey, and spices.
  2. Place the bone-in ribeye in the marinade, turning to coat well. Cover and refrigerate for 24 hours.
  3. Take the meat out of the refrigerator 30 minutes before cooking to let it come to room temperature.
  4. Heat a large skillet or plancha over high heat with a drizzle of oil.
  5. Sear the ribeye without moving it until a beautiful caramelized crust forms (about 4 to 5 minutes per side).
  6. Halve the limes and place them flesh-side down in the pan to roast.
  7. Deglaze the pan by squeezing the juice from the roasted limes over the meat.
  8. Sprinkle with fleur de sel, let rest for 5 minutes, slice, and serve with the roasted lime halves.
