Roasted Garlic Sauce For Steak Recipes

Steps:

• For the romesco sauce: Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• Cut off the top of the garlic just to expose the tips of the cloves. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and drizzle with olive oil. Wrap tightly in foil and roast until the cloves are golden brown and tender, about 45 minutes. Open the foil and allow the garlic to cool until cool enough to handle, then scoop the cloves out using a fork or knife or squeeze the whole head with your hand, turning it upside down to release the cloves into a small bowl.
• Puree the bread, roasted peppers, almonds, vinegar, dill, parsley, basil, anchovies, tomato and roasted garlic pulp in a blender on high speed, just blending enough so that there is still some texture to the sauce. Set aside until ready to use.
• For the hanger steaks: Preheat a grill on high heat.
• Combine the chile powder, garlic powder, pepper and seafood seasoning in a small bowl. Sprinkle the steaks on all sides with salt, then rub with the spice mixture. Grill the hanger steak on all sides, rotating so the char is even, about 10 minutes for an internal temperature of 125 degrees F or medium-rare. Allow the steaks to rest for 10 minutes.
• Carve the steaks by cutting large pieces against the grain. Serve with a squeeze of lime and the romesco sauce.

Steps:

• Pour half of the water into a saucepan, and bring to a boil over medium heat. Add the garlic and garlic powder, and boil until the water has almost evaporated, about 5 minutes. Stir in the heavy cream, parsley, salt, and pepper. Mix the cornstarch with the remaining water, and stir into the sauce. Cook, stirring constantly, until thickened, about 3 minutes.

Steps:

• In a large saucepan saute the onion in the olive oil over medium-high heat until soft and lightly golden, 4 to 6 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Add the tomato paste, salt, balsamic vinegar, hot sauce, crushed red pepper, Italian seasoning, and basil, and cook for 1 minute. Add the tomatoes, crushing with your hands as you place them in the pan, and their juices. Stir to combine well and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to a slow simmer and cook for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Add the roasted garlic cloves and stir to combine. Continue to simmer for 30 to 45 minutes longer, or until the flavors have come together.
• Serve over pasta of choice.

Steps:

• separate garlic cloves but do not peel. place cloves on baking sheet. Bake at 500 degrees for 10-15 minutes. Once garlic is cooled. Squeeze pulp from skins. Chop slightly. Heat garlic, 1/2 cup of steak sauce, wine and onions in small saucepan until boiling. Reduce heat and simmer for five minutes. Serve over steak of your choice.

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:

• Garlic -- There are many different methods to roast your garlic, so use what you feel comfortable with.
• I peel the outside layer of the skin off (keeping the head together), then cut a thin slice off the top to expose the garlic cloves. Drizzle with a little olive oil, wrap in foil and roast in a 400 degree oven for 30-40 minutes until the cloves are soft. Let it cool.
• Sauce -- Once the garlic is cool, squeeze all the roasted out of the individual cloves and add to s small sauce pot. Break up the cloves slightly with a fork. Add the wine, steak sauce and onion and bring to a boil and then immediately reduce to low heat and let it simmer for 5 minutes. Ready to serve.
• This could easily be made ahead and then reheated. It should be served warm. ENJOY!
• Note prep time does not include roasting the garlic.

Steps:

• In a bowl combine 1 1/2 cups warm water and raisins and let stand until raisins are soft, at least 15 minutes and up to 1 hour.
• In another small bowl, mix together the vinegar and shallots and let stand for 15 minutes.
• Add vinegar mixture to raisin mixture, then stir in all the remaining ingredients.
• Working in at least three batches, puree the mixture in blender until smooth. Season with additional salt and pepper to taste, if desired.
• Place all batches together in a non-reactive container, cover and refrigerate at least 12 hours to blend flavors.
• Makes about 4 cups sauce.
