Rib eye has the almost ideal components of tenderness and a deep satisfying beef taste. You can also use rib steak, club steak, or roast a standing rib roast for this recipe. The addition of the Cabernet Merlot reduction sauce will add a more robust flavor to the meat; the Carrot Orange Coulis will add dazzling color and interest to your plate. Since many home cooks don’t use fresh herbs as a garnish on Passover, the replacement of the coulis to decorate the plate will fascinate your company.
The meat should be prepared fresh, but the accompanying sauces can be prepared in advance. After searing the meat, to keep warm, you may keep the meat loosely covered in a 200⁰F oven for no more than 2 hours. After that, it will become well done and start to dry out. When plating your meat: spoon a thin layer of coulis on the plate and place meat on top, or you can use the coulis to decorate the plate.
Spoon Cabarnet Merlot sauce on top of the meat when serving. If serving a standing rib roast, slice before serving.
For preparing rib eye, club, or rib steak, rub the meat with kosher salt and pepper. (For standing rib roast, see below.) Heat oil in a skillet over high heat until very hot. Add meat and brown on both sides, approximately 1-2 minutes per side. Reduce heat to medium and continue to sear for 4-5 minutes per side until medium rare.
Transfer to plate and tent loosely with foil. Use the same skillet to prepare the Cabernet Merlot sauce (below).
If preparing a standing rib roast, preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Rub roast with olive oil, kosher salt and pepper. Roast uncovered for approximately 20 minutes per pound (for example, 40 minutes for four servings, or two hours for 12). Slice and serve with sauce and decorate with coulis.

To plate this dish with a side of mashed potatoes wrapped in mini carrot boxes as shown, slice thin strips of carrots lengthwise on a mandolin. Boil carrots and chives for several minutes until tender. Blanch in cold water immediately to retain color.

I would like to know what is the gold thing on the back right side of the plate.
