Spicy Steak And Watercress On A Roll Recipes

Steps:

• Season beef generously with salt and pepper. Cook to medium rare in a pan, under a broiler or on a grill, about 4 minutes per side depending on thickness. Set aside to cool for at least 10 minutes. Slice thinly on a bias and set aside. Blot extraneous juice with paper towels.
• Make horseradish sauce: Put grated horseradish in a small bowl. Season with a good pinch of salt and pepper and a little sugar. Add sour cream and stir to combine.
• Split rolls and lay them cut side up on a work surface. Butter each piece lightly, then spread with 2 teaspoons horseradish sauce.
• Divide sliced meat among the 6 bottom roll pieces, then garnish with cornichons, jalapeño and watercress. Replace top pieces of rolls and serve.

Steps:

• Preheat broiler.
• Blend together butter, horseradish, mustard, shallot, and salt and pepper to taste in a bowl with a fork until combined well.
• Pat steak dry, season both sides well with salt and pepper, and put on rack of a broiler pan. Spread top of steak with 1 tablespoon mustard butter, then broil 2 to 3 inches from heat 5 minutes. Turn over and spread other side with 1 tablespoon mustard butter, then broil 4 to 5 minutes more for medium-rare. Transfer meat to a cutting board and let stand 5 minutes. (Leave broiler on.)
• Cut baguette crosswise into 4 equal sections, then halve sections horizontally. Broil bread, cut sides up, about 3 inches from heat, rotating pan once, until golden, 30 seconds to 1 minute.
• Holding knife at a 45-degree angle, very thinly slice steak across the grain. Spread cut sides of bread with mustard butter and mound steak on half of bread. Top with watercress and remaining bread.

Steps:

• Mix the ingredients until smooth and well-blended. Scale the dough into 3.5 oz balls. I usually get about 7 balls from a batch this size. Allow them to rest for 20-30 minutes then roll them into a thin sheet about 1/4 inch thick. Roll each sheet (jelly roll fashion) to form long slender loaves. Place loaves onto an oiled baking sheet with the seam side down. Keep them 2 inches apart so they do not touch during the next rise.
• Place the tray of formed loaves in a warm oven (ideal is 100 degrees with 75% humidity). I usually place a bowl of water in the lower oven to keep things humid. Allow the loaves to rise for 45 to 60 minutes.
• Once risen, use a razor to make a 1/4 inch deep slit on the top of the loaves and mist them lightly with water. Bake for 20 minutes at 450 degrees or until they turn brown.
• Remove them from the oven and cool them on wire screens or racks. The rolls last only a day or two before becoming stale. They are great for Italian hoagies or Philly Cheese Steak sandwiches.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450°. Place a large cast-iron or other heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms, onion and green pepper; cook and stir until tender, 8-10 minutes. Remove from skillet; cool slightly., Cut steak into 4 pieces; pound with a meat mallet to 1/4-in. thickness. Spread with cheese. Sprinkle with pepper; top with mushroom mixture. Roll up from a short side; secure with toothpicks. Place back in skillet., Bake until meat reaches desired doneness (for medium-rare, a thermometer should read 135°; medium, 140°, medium-well, 145°), 12-17 minutes. Let stand 5 minutes before serving. Serve with mashed potatoes.

Steps:

• Season steaks on both sides with pepper, lightly patting it on. Place a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Season steaks to taste with salt, then place in dry skillet. Sear steaks without moving them until they are brown and crusty on undersides (about 4 minutes for medium-rare meat; adjust to taste). Turn steaks, and sear for 4 minutes more. Transfer steaks to a serving platter.
• Pour off any excess fat, and add wine to skillet. Cook over low heat until wine is reduced by half, about 30 seconds. Pour wine reduction over steaks.
• Wipe out skillet, and return to medium-low heat. Melt butter in skillet, and add watercress. Increase heat to high, and toss watercress until wilted, about 1 minute. Season to taste with salt, and arrange around steaks. To serve, cut steaks in half. Place a portion on each of four plates, accompanied by a serving of watercress.

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine the first 12 ingredients. Pour 1/3 cup marinade into a shallow dish; add steak and turn to coat. Cover; refrigerate for 1-3 hours. Cover and refrigerate remaining marinade for basting., Lightly coat the grill rack. Grill steak, uncovered, over medium heat or broil 4 in. from the heat for 6-8 minutes on each side or until meat reaches desired doneness (for medium-rare, a thermometer should read 135°; medium, 140°; medium-well, 145°), basting frequently with remaining marinade. Let stand 5 minutes before slicing. Thinly slice steak across the grain.

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine the first eight ingredients. Rub about 1 teaspoon of spice mixture over each side of steaks. , Grill, covered, over medium heat for 6-8 minutes on each side or until meat reaches desired doneness (for medium-rare, a thermometer should read 135°; medium, 140°; medium-well, 145°).
