Shell Steaks With Mustard Butter Recipes

Steps:

• Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and shallot and cook, stirring, until golden brown, about 3 minutes. Add the coriander seeds and peppercorns and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Pull the pan from the heat and add the port and wine. Return the pan to the heat and, if cooking over a gas burner, tip the pan to let the alcohol ignite. (If cooking over electric or halogen, just keep cooking the mixture.) Bring the mixture to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer briskly until syrupy, 20 to 25 minutes. Set aside to cool.
• Beat the remaining butter in a medium bowl with a handheld electric mixer or whisk until smooth and light. Add the reduced wine mixture, vinegar, parsley and 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and beat until evenly mixed.
• Spread a 12-inch-long piece of plastic wrap on a work surface. Mound the butter across the plastic wrap, about 2 inches from edge nearest you. Fold the bottom edge of the plastic wrap over the butter and roll it up to make a 1-inch-wide log. Twist the ends together in opposite directions (like a party favor) and refrigerate until firm.
• Prepare an outdoor grill with a high fire.
• Brush grill grate lightly with oil. Season the steaks on both sides with salt and black pepper, to taste. Grill 3 to 5 minutes, turning once, until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the meat reads 120 degrees F to 125 degrees F for rare; 125 degrees F to 130 degrees F for medium-rare; or 130 degrees F to 135 degrees F for medium. Transfer the steaks to a cutting board and let rest for 5 minutes. Serve each steak topped with a 3/4-inch-thick slice of the wine butter.

Steps:

• Score both sides of each steak by making diagonal slices. Season with grill seasoning. Brush each side of the steak with the mustard, then press 1/2 of the red onions into the mustard on one side of the steak.
• Melt the butter in a large skillet over high heat. Place the steaks onion side down in the skillet. Press the remaining onions evenly into the mustard on the top side of each steak. Cook steaks until they start to firm, and are browned on the outside and red in the center, 4 to 5 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 125 degrees F (52 degrees C). Remove steaks from the skillet, and allow them to rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• Trim off all peripheral fat from the steaks. Sprinkle the steaks on both sides with salt and a generous grinding of black pepper.
• Put the butter in the container of a food processor or electric blender and add the mustard, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, shallots, parsley, salt and pepper. Blend thoroughly.
• Heat a heavy skillet (preferably black iron) until it is almost smoking.
• Add one steak at a time and cook until almost blackened on one side, about 2 to 3 minutes. Turn and cook on the other side about 2 to 3 minutes. If your stove has a ventilating fan, it is best to turn it on because the steaks will smoke. When each steak is done, transfer it to a warm serving dish and spoon butter mixture all over the top.
• Continue cooking until all the steaks are done.
• Garnish each serving with a portion of the sauteed potatoes with parsley.

Steps:

• Cut excess fat from the steaks and make small incisions around the outside wherever there is a line of gristle (between the fat and the meat). This prevents curling. Over medium-high heat, bring the oil to the smoking point. Saute the steaks on one side for 2 minutes. Turn the steaks with tongs or a fork inserted close to the rim of the fat, and saute 2 to 3 minutes. Immediately remove the steaks to a warm platter and season with salt and pepper. Cover loosely with foil while making the sauce. Discard any fat in the pan. Add the cognac and scrape up the coagulated juices. Add the cream and reduce by 1/2. Stir in the mustard and pour the sauce over the steak.

Steps:

• Heat a large, heavy skillet over medium-high heat until it begins to smoke. Add steak, and cook until nicely browned, 1 to 2 minutes. Turn, and cook until browned, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from heat, transfer steak to a plate, and set aside.
• When the skillet has cooled slightly, return it to the stove over medium-low heat. Add the butter; when it melts, add the shallots, and saute 1 minute. Using a spoon, stir in the sherry vinegar until the sauce thickens. Return the steaks to the skillet along with any accumulated juices. Spread the mustard over one side of the steak, increase the heat to medium, and cook, turning the steak after 3 or 4 minutes for medium-rare. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Transfer the steak to a serving dish with the pan juices spooned over the steak. Garnish with a sprig of parsley.

Steps:

• Pat the steaks dry with a paper towel. Season generously on both sides with the salt and black pepper.
• Add the olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter to a nonstick or stainless steel pan over medium-high heat. Sear the steaks, one at a time, until a golden brown crust forms, about 5 minutes per side. If the pan gets too dry, add a bit more olive oil. Transfer the seared steaks to a cutting board to rest.
• Add the shallots, capers, and remaining ½ tablespoon of butter to the pan. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the capers crisp slightly.
• Deglaze the pan with the wine. Cook until reduced by half, about 30-60 seconds. Add the mustard and cream and adjust seasoning to taste.
• Slice the steak into ¼-inch (6 mm) pieces and transfer to serving plates. Pour the sauce over the steak and garnish with sliced chives. Serve with roasted potatoes and a side salad.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.
• Combine minced onion, olive oil, mustard, butter, salt, and pepper in a small mixing bowl. Spread mixture over each steak and put steaks on a broiler pan.
• Broil in the preheated oven until they are beginning to firm and are hot and slightly pink in the center, 5 to 7 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 140 degrees F (60 degrees C) for medium.

Steps:

• Preheat a fry pan with 2 tbs of butter in the pan until butter is melted. Fry the steaks in the pan until golden, a few minutes should do (if it seems dry add a bit more butter).
• Add crème fraîche and mustard to the pan. Let simmer on Med-Low for about 2-3 minutes.
• Season with salt & pepper. Garnish with parsley if desired.

Steps:

• Season steaks on both sides with salt.
• Rub pepper into both sides of each steak.
• Divide oil between 2 large skillets and heat over medium-high heat.
• Add 3 steaks to each skillet and cook to desired doneness, about 3 ½ minutes per side for medium-rare.
• Transfer to a platter.
• Tent with foil to keep warm.
• Divide garlic between skillets; saute 30 seconds.
• Divide wine between skillets; boil until reduced by half, stirring up any browned bits, about 1 minute.
• Combine contents of skillets in 1 skillet.
• Add broth and mustard and whisk until blended.
• Boil until slightly thickened, about 2 minutes.
• Remove skillet from heat.
• Add butter, one piece at a time, whisking each until melted before incorporating the next (make sure you do this OFF the heat).
• Season with salt and pepper.
• Spoon sauce over steaks.
• Top with parsley.
