Blackened Steaks And Horseradish Cream With Butter Basted Potatoes Recipes

Steps:

• Heat a large cast-iron pan over high heat.
• Salt each rib eye on 1 side. Place salt-side down in the pan and sear until brown, about 4 minutes (you may have to do in batches or use multiple pans). Salt the top side of the rib eyes and turn over. Cook until brown on the flip side, about 3 more minutes. Add the butter to the pan and allow to foam. Add garlic and thyme and baste steaks with butter. Cook, flipping every 2 to 3 minutes and continuing to baste, until desired internal temperature is reached, about 10 minutes for medium-rare. Serve with Crispy Smashed Potatoes and Horseradish.
• Preheat oil in a deep fryer to 350 degrees F.
• Cover the fingerling potatoes with cold salted water. Bring to a boil and simmer until tender, about 10 minutes. Strain. Using the back of a spatula or wooden spoon, slightly smash each potato until skin splits and potatoes are about 1/2- to 3/4-inch thick but still intact.
• Deep-fry potatoes until golden brown and crispy, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove to a sheet pan fitted with a rack to drain slightly.
• Add sour cream, horseradish and mayonnaise to a small bowl and stir to combine.
• Transfer potatoes to a serving dish. Drizzle with horseradish cream mixture.

Steps:

• Pulse 1 stick softened butter in a food processor with 1/3 cup chopped chives, 3 tablespoons horseradish, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon lemon zest until smooth. Scrape the butter onto plastic wrap or parchment, wrap and shape into a log. Chill until firm. Slice and serve over grilled steak.
• TIP: Try making other flavored butters with odds and ends from your fridge: capers, pickles, olives or even hot sauce.

Steps:

• Cover potatoes with salted cold water by 2 inches in a 5-quart heavy pot, then simmer, uncovered, until very tender, about 25 minutes.
• While potatoes are simmering, bring half-and-half, butter, salt, and pepper just to a simmer, stirring until butter is melted. Keep hot, covered.
• Drain potatoes in a colander, then immediately force through ricer into a large bowl. Stir in hot milk mixture, then horseradish.

Steps:

• Coat grill rack with cooking spray; preheat grill.
• Cut steak into four portions, if desired. Season both sides of steaks with blackening seasoning. Place steaks on grill (wash hands); close lid (or cover loosely with foil). Grill 4-6 minutes on each side or until internal temperature reaches 145*F (for medium-rare) **But I like well done!** Use a meat thermometer to accurately ensure desired doneness. (Grills vary widely; adjust time as needed.).
• Meanwhile, whisk remaining ingredients, in small bowl, until blended and smooth. Serve horseradish cream with steaks.
