Spice Rubbed Steak With Quick Garlic Fries Recipes

Steps:

• Combine the oil, salt, pepper, dry thyme and garlic in a small bowl. Using this dry rub to season the beef, brush or rub the steaks with this seasoning mix and let marinate at room temperature for 20 minutes.
• Over a hot barbecue grill, or under an oven broiler that has been preheated for at least 20 minutes, cook the steaks on both sides to the desired doneness. Generally, a steak of this size, cooked over a barbecue grill, will be mediumrare within about 8 to 10 minutes (4 minutes on each side) with a blackened exterior and a warm pink interior. Check for doneness by pressing gently with a cautious finger.

Steps:

• Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 450°F.
• Heat 1 inch oil in a 4- to 5-quart heavy pot over high heat until it registers 375°F on thermometer.
• While oil heats, pat steaks dry, then rub all over with spice rub (and salt if necessary). Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a 12-inch ovenproof heavy skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then sear steaks, turning over once with tongs, until well browned, about 5 minutes total. Transfer skillet to oven and roast 10 minutes for medium-rare.
• Check oil while searing steaks, and when it registers 375°F, begin frying french fries in 2 batches (add fries carefully; they may have ice crystals, which could cause spattering), stirring occasionally, until golden and crisp, 4 to 5 minutes per batch. Transfer fries with a slotted spoon to paper towels to drain and season with salt and pepper while hot. Return oil to 375°F between batches.
• Turn off heat under pot, then add garlic and fry until pale golden, 30 seconds to 1 minute, and transfer with slotted spoon to paper towels. Toss fries with garlic in a large bowl.
• Transfer steak to a cutting board and let stand 5 minutes. Slice steak and serve with fries.

Steps:

• Prepare a medium grill or preheat the broiler. If using the broiler, line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil.
• In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, house seasoning, Cajun seasoning, and cayenne pepper. Rub the steaks with the mixture.
• Place the steaks on the grill or, if broiling, place on the prepared baking sheet. Grill or broil,4 inches from the heat, turning once, to desired doneness, 12 minutes for medium-rare, up to 14 minutes for medium.

Steps:

• Mash garlic and ginger to a paste with salt and spices using a mortar and pestle (or mince and mash with a large knife). Pat steak dry, then rub paste all over and marinate steak, covered and chilled, at least 8 hours.
• Prepare grill for cooking.
• Bring steak to room temperature (do not leave out longer than 1 hour). When fire is hot (you can hold your hand 5 inches above rack 1 to 2 seconds), grill steak on lightly oiled grill rack 5 to 8 minutes on each side for medium-rare. Transfer steak to a cutting board and let stand 10 minutes.
• Holding knife at a 45-degree angle, cut steak across the grain into thin slices.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees.
• In a large mixing bowl, whisk together olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, chili powder and onion powder.
• Add potato wedges to olive oil mixture and toss until evenly coated.
• Cover a baking sheet in foil and spread coated potato wedges onto it.
• Bake for 40-45 minutes or until golden and cooked through.
