Slow Cooked Ribeye with Nordic Spice Rub
This Slow Cooked Ribeye with Nordic Spice Rub is something else! Created by my good friend Karen, who happens to be a very talented chef and is travelling around Australia. While being on the road, Karen’s been embracing the art of slow living and in the spirit of slowing down, she told me she wanted to create a recipe that was as much about enjoying the art of slow cooking, as it was about reaping the rewards and enjoying a good meal. And when I say ‘good meal’ - slow cooked ribeye is extraordinary!
