Caramelised Steak Recipes

Steps:

• Place steaks on a large plate, and rub with garlic paste and 2 tablespoons oil, coating completely. Season generously with salt and pepper. Set aside to marinate 15 minutes at room temperature.
• Meanwhile, in a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons oil over medium-high heat until hot and just starting to smoke. Reduce heat to medium; add onions, and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and golden brown, about 7 minutes. Add sugar, vinegar, and 2 tablespoons water; simmer, stirring occasionally, until onions are tender, about 3 minutes more. Transfer onions to a bowl, and season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
• Wipe skillet clean. Heat remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons oil in skillet over high heat until hot but not smoking. Cook steaks until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side for medium-rare. Transfer to a cutting board, and let rest 5 minutes before slicing.

Steps:

• Marinate the steaks overnight in olive oil, sea salt and fresh cracked pepper.
• You can utilize any fresh herbs you have in your garden or local market such as rosemary.
• Take the steaks out and let them rest about an hour before you start to work with them.
• In the meantime, fire up the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Take your garlic bulbs and slice them in half diagonally.
• Season with olive oil and sea salt.
• Roast on a pan in the oven for about 15 minutes or until the garlic is nice and golden brown and your house smells heavenly.
• Take out and set aside.
• Heat your saute pan with some olive oil and throw in about 6 cloves of fresh chopped garlic when hot.
• Add spinach and saute until spinach is just wilted.
• Season with salt and pepper.
• Chop up the sun-dried tomatoes and toss with the spinach.
• When the spinach has cooled, throw in the brie and the roasted garlic.
• You can easily pull the roasted garlic from the'husk' by using a toothpick to pull it out.
• Mix together very well!
• Season with salt and pepper.
• You can also throw in a teaspoon or so of fresh rosemary at this point.
• Set aside.
• Take your steaks and cut a slit into the side of them, just as you would with stuffing pork chops.
• Carefully stuff the steaks with your roasted garlic stuffing.
• Throw those guys on the BBQ for about 3-4 minutes per side pending your guests preference.
• I serve these steaks over garlic mashers which I usually just throw in an extra bulb of garlic to roast when making the stuffing and mash it all up with some fresh potatoes, butter and cream.
• A little parsley to garnish.
• For the sauce, take 4 tablespoons of butter and melt in a saucepan over low heat.
• Add about 6 cloves of fresh chopped garlic, 1/4 cup of cream and 4 tablespoons of good quality balsamic vinegar.
• Throw in a sprig of fresh rosemary and reduce the sauce by about 1/3.
• Take out the rosemary.
• To plate, place lean against a heap of the garlic mashers and drizzle the sauce around the plate and over the potatoes.
• Garnish with fresh rosemary.
• It is excellent to have a nice fresh loaf of bread to serve with this.
• I also BBQ up some fresh local corn on the grill to accompany this meal.
• It is a fairly easy and gourmet meal to prepare.
• You can even make the stuffing the night before.
• Enjoy!
• And long live garlic!

Steps:

• Mix all the marinade ingredients (everything except steak) in small bowl.
• Lightly brush both sides of steak with about 50% of the marinade and place covered in refrigerator until ready to use.
• Also place the remaining marinade in the rerigerator until read to use.
• Cook steak in a pan with a small amount of butter or on a grill plate to your usual preferences, turning and basting with the remaining marinade several times.
• Serve with mashed potatoes and vegetables.

Steps:

• Put the grill on. Heat a little oil in a frying pan. Season both sides of the steaks with salt, then fry for 1-2 minutes on each side. Meanwhile, slice the ciabatta in half lengthways and grill the cut sides until golden.
• Drizzle the toasted ciabatta with olive oil, spread the bottom half with the onions and sit the steaks on top. Cover with the watercress and close the sandwich with the other half of the ciabatta. Cut into four sandwiches and serve two per person. Serve hot.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Add onions; cook, stirring occasionally, until onions are dark and soft, about 25 minutes.
• Mix butter, shallot, and truffle oil in a bowl until blended. Refrigerate until set, about 10 minutes.
• Preheat an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Pour in remaining 2 tablespoons oil. Season steaks with salt and pepper on both sides. Cook steaks until browned, about 2 minutes per side. Cover with aluminum foil.
• Transfer skillet to the preheated oven and bake until steaks are reddish-pink and juicy in the center, 4 to 6 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 130 degrees F (54 degrees C). Let rest in the skillet, covered, about 5 minutes.
• Slice steaks and transfer to serving plates. Cover with onions; top with a slice of truffle butter.

Steps:

• In a medium skillet melt butter over medium-low heat.

• Meanwhile, cut meat into 4 serving-size pieces.
• Sprinkle pepper on both sides of each meat piece.
• Place on the unheated rack of a boiler pan.
• Broil 3 inches from the heat to desired doneness, turning once.
• (Allow 10-12 minutes for medium rare.) Stir vinegar into onions.
• Spoon onion mixture over steak.
