SEATTLE - The Seattle Seahawks will trade their jerseys for serving trays this Monday at the Metropolitan Grill.

They'll be waiting on customers from 6:30 to 8:30 Monday night to raise money for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation.

Seahawk celebrity waiters will include Craig Terrill, John Carlson, Lawrence Jackson, Darryl Tapp and Leonard Weaver.

This week Metropolitan Executive Chef Eric Hellner shared his recipe for Terrill Rockin' Rib Eye, which will be served at the event.

Terrill Rockin Rib Eye

Ingredients

4 each – 20 oz. Prime rib steaks (Have these cut by your local butcher)

1 pinch of salt and black pepper 

Instructions

Season the steaks with the salt and pepper and place on the grill, (use mesquite or charcoal on your grill).  Cook until desired temperature (we suggest medium, about 120 degrees).  This cut of steak will eat well at this temperature and have a chance to “set up”.  It won’t eat as well if it is cooked less. I suggest you allow to it to rest 4-5 minutes, before serving.

Yields 4 servings.

Ingredients

20 each - roasted garlic cloves (see recipe below)

2 each - sweet grilled onion              (see recipe below)

1 Tbsp. olive oil

1 Tbsp. garlic, chopped

2 cups veal demi glaze (purchase at any higher end market)

2 Tbsp. salted butter

Instructions

Heat olive oil in a sauté pan over medium high heat.  Just before the oil starts to have a light smoke add in the chopped garlic and cook until golden brown.  Make sure you stir the garlic so it doesn’t burn and become bitter.  Then add in your chopped grilled onions and heat them through.  After the onions are warm add the veal demi glaze and bring to a simmer and throw in the roasted garlic cloves.  After this mixture is heated throughout, (it should take about one minute), finish the sauce by adding the butter into pan, and stir.  Stir the sauce until the butter is melted.  Once the butter is melted and incorporated in, the sauce is complete.  Pour this evenly over the 4 steaks of your choice.  We have chosen a Mesquite grilled Prime 20 oz rib steak but this would work well with any of your favorite cuts.

Roasted Garlic Recipe

Ingredients

10 cloves of peeled garlic

1 cup olive oil

Instructions

Place the garlic in an oven proof pan.  Any small glass or stainless pan will work.  Cover with garlic with olive oil.  Then cover the pan with foil.  Place the pan in a preheated 350 degree oven for 25 minutes or until the garlic is golden brown and soft.  You can test this with a fork by pushing slightly against a clove.  It should start to smash easily when finished.  Take the garlic out of the oven and allow it to cool, until you are ready to use it.  You can store the garlic in your refrigerator for up to a week prior to use.

Grilled Sweet Onion

1  sweet onion

1 Tbsp. olive oil

Instructions

Pull all of the outer skin off of the onion.  Then slice the onion into 3 equal parts.  This should create three rings about ½ inch thick.  Cover the rings lightly with the oil and place on a hot grill.  Wood burning or charcoal is preferred but gas will work.  Cook the onion until it’s grilled on all sides and is cooked through.  If it starts to separate don’t worry, you can still use it.  Pull the onion and let it stand at room temperature; let it cool for about 10 minutes. Chop the onion into 1 x ½ inch pieces and use in your sauce.
