Jans Cowboy Steak With Tomato Relish Recipes

Steps:

• In a small, shallow bowl, mix the bread crumbs with salt and pepper, to taste. In another small, shallow bowl, beat the egg just until blended. Dip each goat cheese round in the egg, and then in bread crumbs, patting the crumbs in place. Cover and refrigerate the coated cheese rounds for about 15 minutes.
• Center the tomato slices on 4 salad plates and season with salt and pepper.
• Heat a large nonstick skillet over moderately high heat and pour in 2 tablespoons olive oil. When the oil is almost smoking, add the cheese rounds. Cook until lightly browned, about 45 seconds. Turn them over and cook on the other side until the cheese just feels quivery, about 45 seconds longer, depending on the thickness of the rounds. Place a cheese round on each tomato slice.
• In a bowl, toss the herbs with a light drizzle of olive oil, a splash of red wine vinegar, and salt and pepper, to taste. Mound the herbs on top of the cheese, dividing them evenly. Serve immediately.
• Michael's Notes: This salad looks best when the tomato slice and the goat cheese slice are about the same size. So if you can only find goat cheese in small logs, you may want to serve 2 goat cheese rounds to each diner and perch them on slices of smaller tomatoes.
• Be sure you take all the stems off the herbs carefully so your guests can enjoy just the soft leaves.

Steps:

• 1. Prepare an outdoor grill with a high fire. Brush grill grate lightly with oil. Lightly rub steak with some olive oil and sprinkle with herbes de Provence and salt and pepper to taste. Place tomatoes, scallions, and garlic cloves in a large bowl, coat with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and season with salt and pepper to taste.
• 2. Place steak on grill, arrange vegetables around it, and grill 3 to 5 minutes, turning once, until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the meat reads 120degreesF to 125degreesF for rare; 125degreesF to 130degreesF for medium-rare; or 130degreesF to 135degreesF for medium, and the vegetables are charred. Transfer steak and vegetables to a cutting board and let rest 5 minutes.
• 3. Core tomatoes once cool enough to handle. Squeeze garlic cloves from their skins and chop with tomatoes and scallions until chunky. Transfer vegetable relish, including juice, to a bowl and stir in remaining olive oil, vinegar, and Worcestershire sauce. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Slice meat against grain and on an angle, and transfer to a plate or platter. Serve with relish and grilled bread.

Steps:

• Put the cauliflower slices in a large resealable plastic bag or baking dish. Dissolve 3 tablespoons kosher salt in 5 cups water and pour over the cauliflower. Set aside for 45 minutes.
• Meanwhile, simmer the vinegar, sugar, fennel seeds and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a small saucepan over medium heat for 5 minutes. Add the tomatoes and cook, stirring, until soft, about 2 minutes more. Set aside.
• Preheat an outdoor grill or grill pan over medium heat.
• Drain the cauliflower and pat dry. Brush with extra-virgin olive oil and grill, covered, until lightly charred and crisp-tender, about 6 minutes per side. Serve the tomato relish over the steaks.

Steps:

• Position a broiler pan on the rack closest to the broiler and preheat to high. Rub the steak lightly with some olive oil and sprinkle with the herbes de Provence and salt and pepper, to taste. Put the whole tomatoes, scallions, and garlic cloves in a large bowl, drizzle with about 1 tablespoon of the olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste. Turn the vegetables until they are lightly coated.
• Carefully lay the steak in the center of the hot pan, arrange the vegetables around it, and broil until the steak is brown but still tender to the touch and the vegetables are charred, 5 to 6 minutes. Turn the steak and the vegetables and broil another 5 to 6 minutes, until the steak is medium rare (an instant-read thermometer inserted crosswise into the side of the steak registers 130 degrees F) and vegetables are charred. Transfer the steak and vegetables to a cutting board.
• For the relish: Core the tomatoes, squeeze the garlic cloves from their skins, and chop them both with the scallions to make a chunky relish. Transfer the vegetables and all their juices to a bowl and stir in the remaining 1/4 cup or so of the olive oil, the vinegar, and the Worcestershire sauce. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Slice the meat against the grain and on an angle, transfer to a plate or platter, and serve with the relish and toasted bread.

Steps:

• Position an oven rack 5-to-6-inches from the heat source and preheat the broiler. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil.
• Toss the garlic, tomatoes and scallions on the baking sheet with 1 tablespoon of the oil until coated and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Broil until the vegetables are charred, flipping them once, 10 to 12 minutes. Set aside to cool.
• Slice the pork tenderloin on the bias into 4 long "steaks" and sprinkle all over with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.
• Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until very hot but not smoking. Put the pork steaks in the skillet and cook, flipping once, until well browned and just a bit pink in the center, about 7 minutes per side. Turn the heat down to medium if the skillet starts to get too dark. Put each steak on a plate to rest.
• While the pork rests, core the tomatoes, squeeze the garlic cloves from their skins, and chop them both with the scallions to make a chunky relish. Transfer the vegetables and all their juices to a bowl and stir in the vinegar, Worcestershire sauce and remaining 1?4 cup oil. Season with salt and pepper. Serve the relish over the pork with crusty bread for soaking up the juices.

Steps:

• Combine barbecue sauce, lime juice and 1/2 tsp. pepper; pour over steaks in shallow dish. Turn to coat both sides of each steak. Refrigerate 1 hour to marinate, turning once.
• Heat grill to medium-high heat. Remove steaks from marinade; discard marinade. Grill steaks 15 to 20 min. or until done (160ºF). Transfer to cutting board; cover loosely with foil. Let stand 10 min. Meanwhile, combine tomatoes, olives, onions, dressing and remaining pepper.
• Cut steak into thin slices. Serve topped with tomato mixture.
