Delmonico's Dry Age Rib-Eyes with Emeril's Worcestershire Sauce

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup vegetable oil
• 1/2 cup Creole seasoning, recipe follows
• 4 bone-in dry aged rib-eye steaks, (about 20 to 22 ounces each)
• 1 pound parsnips, peeled and sliced into paper-thin strips
• Salt
• 4 cups Mashed Potatoes, (hot), recipe follows
• 1 cup Emeril's Homemade Worcestershire Sauce, recipe follows
• 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh parsley leaves

Directions

Preheat the fryer to 360 degrees F.

In a small bowl, combine the oil and Creole seasoning. Mix well. Spread each side of the steaks completely with the Creole seasoning mixture. Place in a shallow pan, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours. Remove and bring the room temperature before grilling, about 30 minutes. Preheat the grill. Place the steaks on the grill and cook for about 4 to 6 minutes on each side for medium-rare. ***A saute pan or grill pan can be substituted for a grill** Fry the parsnips until golden brown. Remove the parsnips from the oil and drain on paper towels. Season with salt. Remove the steaks from the grill and cool for a couple of minutes before serving. Place the steaks and potatoes on each serving plate. Spoon 1/4 of the sauce over each steak. Pile the parsnips on top of the potatoes. Garnish with parsley.

Emeril's Worcestershire Sauce:

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 6 cups coarsely chopped onions
• 4 jalapenos, with stems and seeds, chopped (3/4 cup)
• 2 tablespoons minced garlic
• 2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
• 4 cans (2 ounces each) anchovy fillets

Combine the oil, onions, and jalapenos in a large heavy stockpot over high heat. Saute for 2 to 3 minutes, or until slightly soft. Add the garlic, pepper, anchovy fillets, cloves, salt, lemons, corn syrup, cane syrup, vinegar, water, and horseradish and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, for about 6 hours, or until the mixture barely coats a wooden spoon. Strain. Spoon the hot mixture into 3 hot sterilized pint-size jars, filling to within 1/2-inch of the top. With a clean damp towel, wipe the rim and fit with a hot lid. Tightly screw on the metal ring. Process in a hot-water bath for 15 minutes. Using tongs, remove the jars, place on a towel, and let cool. Test the seals. Tighten the rings. Store in a cool, dark place. Let age for at least 2 weeks before using. Can be stored in the refrigerator in a covered jar or bottle indefinitely. Refrigerate after opening.
