Italian Minute Steaks Recipes

Steps:

• Whisk the olive oil, vinegar, garlic, rosemary, parsley, oregano, honey, red pepper flakes and 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper in a medium bowl. Transfer 3 tablespoons of the vinaigrette to a small bowl; cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
• Combine the remaining vinaigrette with the steak in a large resealable bag; turn the bag several times to coat the meat. Refrigerate at least 4 hours or overnight, turning the bag occasionally.
• Preheat a grill to high. Transfer the steak to a plate or baking sheet, letting the excess marinade drip off; season the steak with salt and pepper. Let stand at room temperature, 30 minutes. Grill the steak until a thermometer inserted into the thickest side reaches 130 degrees F, 16 to 20 minutes for medium rare, flipping every 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer the meat to a cutting board and let rest 10 minutes. Thinly slice the meat against the grain; serve with the reserved vinaigrette.

Steps:

• For the fries and Marsala mushrooms: Turn oven on 425 degrees F, a rack in lower third and another in upper third of oven.
• Gather bacon, fries, fresh and dried mushrooms, stock, butter, shallots, garlic, thyme, parsley, rosemary and steaks.
• Arrange bacon on broiler pan or wire rack over baking sheet. Arrange the waffle fries on a second large baking sheet. Place fries on top shelf and bacon below in oven. Cook bacon 15 minutes or until brown and very crisp (bacon is optional topping for fries). Cook waffle fries (or potato wedges) 25 minutes, turning once, then season with salt and pepper before topping and serving.
• Gill the portobellos (scrape the underbelly of caps) and thinly slice.
• Place dried mushrooms in small pot or pan, cover with stock or water, bring to a boil and reduce to 1/2 cup liquid, 6 to 7 minutes.
• Heat a large cast-iron skillet, cast-iron griddle or heavy skillet over medium-high heat for steaks.
• Heat a large skillet over medium-high to high heat with EVOO, 2 turns of the pan. Add butter to oil and melt. Add fresh mushrooms and brown, 5 to 6 minutes. Meanwhile, peel and chop shallot and grate or chop 2 cloves garlic; strip thyme leaves and chop; finely chop parsley. Add shallots and garlic to mushrooms with salt and pepper and thyme; stir, add Marsala and let it evaporate. Add porcini mushrooms and most of the stock; reserve the last of it as it may collect grit. Add the juice of a lemon and parsley, then reduce heat under the mushrooms to warm.
• Grab more ingredients: cream, cheese and chives.
• Heat cream and a clove of crushed garlic in small pot over medium to medium-high heat, reduce by a third and add gorgonzola; turn heat to low.
• For the sliced steak with rosemary: Season the steaks with kosher salt and coarse pepper. Strip rosemary leaves and coarsely chop, then rub into meat. Add olive oil to pan, 1 turn of the pan, add steaks and cook meat 8 minutes, turning occasionally. Brown and char a halved lemon with steaks the last minute or two. Reduce heat under pan and remove lemon, then add butter and crushed garlic to pan and spoon over meat. Remove meat and rest a couple of minutes, then slice against grain and top with lemon juice.
• Chop bacon, if using.
• Serve sliced steak with a small pile of greens to one side, mushrooms along the other side and waffle fries topped with gorgonzola sauce, bacon bits and chives at end of plate or platter.

Steps:

• In a shallow bowl, whisk egg. In another shallow bowl, combine the bread crumbs, basil, oregano, salt and pepper. Cut steak into four pieces; dip each piece in egg, then coat with bread crumb mixture., In a large skillet, cook steaks in oil over medium-high heat for 2-4 minutes on each side or until meat reaches desired doneness (for medium-rare, a thermometer should read 135°; medium, 140°; medium-well, 145°)., Meanwhile, heat sauce in a small saucepan. Spoon over steaks; sprinkle with cheese.

Steps:

• Place each steak between two sheets of heavy plastic (or inside a resealable freezer bag) on a solid, level surface. Firmly pound each steak with the smooth side of a meat mallet to a thickness of 1/4-inch. Remove steaks from plastic.
• Generously season each steak with salt and ground black pepper. Set aside.
• Combine beef broth, barbeque sauce, hot sauce, and black pepper in a bowl. Add chilled butter to broth mixture but do not stir.
• Heat oil in a large skillet over high heat until it just begins to smoke, about 1 minute. Place each steak in the pan; sear for 45 to 60 seconds on each side. Remove steaks from skillet and set them aside to rest.
• Pour the broth mixture into the skillet and bring to a boil while scraping the browned bits of food off of the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Stir occasionally until butter is melted and incorporated, about 2 minutes.
• Spoon broth and butter mixture over steak and serve.

Steps:

• Sprinkle beef steaks with lemon-pepper seasoning. In 10-inch nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Cook steaks in oil about 10 minutes, turning once, until brown.
• Spoon half of the pasta sauce over steaks. Layer onion and bell pepper on top; spoon remaining sauce over vegetables. Sprinkle with cheese; reduce heat to low.
• Cover; simmer about 10 minutes or until sauce is hot and vegetables are crisp-tender.

Steps:

• Take the steak out of the fridge an hour before you want to cook it.
• Heat a frying or griddle pan until it's smoking hot. Meanwhile, warm the lentils following pack instructions, then tip them onto a big plate or platter to cool a little. Rub the oil over the steak and season generously, then put in the hot pan. Cook to your liking (rare to medium-rare works well for this dish and will take around 2 mins on each side, or a little longer if the steak is particularly thick). Transfer to a plate and leave to rest for a few minutes, loosely covered with foil.
• Put one lemon half in the pan, cut-side down, and char it over a high heat for a minute - this will make it extra juicy. Scatter the peppers and rocket over the warm lentils, drizzle with the vinegar and extra virgin olive oil and season with salt. Toss together lightly using your hands.
• Slice the steak as thinly as you can and arrange it over the top of the salad. Cut thin shards of parmesan straight from the block, crumble them a little in your hands, then scatter over the top. Serve the lemon on the side for squeezing over.

Steps:

• cut steak into 1 inch cubes.
• Place beef into 4-5 quart slow cooker sprayed with vegetable cooking spray.
• Add mushrooms, italian tomatoes, beef broth, wine, italian seasoning, tapioca, and salt and pepper if desired.
• Cover and cook on low for 8-10 hours.
