Steak Skewers With Roasted Red Bell Pepper Sauce Recipes

Steps:

• Prepare a hot charcoal grill. Lay peppers directly on the grill and let them blister, turning frequently until blackened all over, about 8 minutes. Set aside on a plate until cool enough to handle. (Alternatively, roast peppers on the stovetop, directly on the flames of a gas burner.)
• Cut peppers in half lengthwise. Cut off stems, scrape away skins and seeds, and discard. Do not rinse; a bit of char is OK. Chop the peppers into 2-inch chunks.
• With a food processor or blender, whirl together peppers, almonds, pimentón, cayenne and garlic to form a rough paste. Season with salt and pepper. Slowly add olive oil to achieve the consistency of a thick milkshake. Taste, adjust seasoning and transfer to a serving bowl.
• In a medium saucepan, boil potatoes in well-salted water until just done, about 10 minutes. Drain.
• Place onion pieces on the grill skin-side down. Salt lightly. Cover with lid and cook until onions are soft, about 15 minutes. Set aside and keep warm.
• Place boiled potatoes on grill and cook until slightly charred, 8 to 10 minutes. Set aside and keep warm.
• Meanwhile, thread shrimp onto skewers, 4 or 5 shrimp per skewer, without crowding. (If using bamboo skewers, soak them in water to prevent burning.) Brush lightly with olive oil and sprinkle with salt.
• Lay skewers on grill over hot coals. Cook for about 3 minutes, then flip and cook until shrimp turn pink and are a bit charred, 3 minutes more
• Arrange shrimp, potatoes and onions on a large platter. Serve with the red pepper sauce and lemon wedges.

Steps:

• Preheat grill to medium heat.
• Combine the oil, lemon juice, oregano, salt, and pepper, stirring until mixed.
• Slide a zucchini slice down the skewer, followed by pieces of mushroom, red onion, and peppers, until there is a 1-inch gap at the top of the skewer. Brush each skewer liberally with the oil mixture.
• Repeat with the remaining skewers and vegetables.
• Grill the skewers for 12-18 minutes with the lid closed, flipping halfway.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Freeze the flank steak until the meat is slightly frozen and firm enough to thinly slice with ease, 45 minutes to 1 hour.
• Finely grate 2 cloves of the garlic into a large bowl. Peel the ginger and cut it in half. Finely grate one of the ginger halves into the same bowl; reserve the remaining ginger. Whisk in 3 tablespoons of the soy sauce, 2 tablespoons of the Shaoxing wine, 1 1/2 teaspoons of the sugar and several large grinds of pepper to combine. Set aside.
• Thinly slice the flank steak against the grain on a very slight bias into 1/4-inch-thick strips. Cut any extra-long pieces in half; the strips should be no longer than 3 to 4 inches. Add to the bowl with the marinade and stir to combine. Cover with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for at least 1 hour and up to overnight.
• About 30 minutes before finishing the dish, use tongs to transfer the steak to a large baking sheet lined with several layers of paper towels and arrange in a single layer. Lay additional paper towels on top to help absorb any excess marinade. Set aside to take the chill off the meat.
• Whisk together the beef broth, sesame oil, remaining 1/4 cup soy sauce, remaining 2 tablespoons Shaoxing wine, remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons sugar and a couple large grinds of pepper in a medium bowl; set aside.
• Finely mince the remaining 2 cloves garlic and add to a small bowl. Finely mince the remaining ginger and add to the same bowl. Set aside.
• Heat 1 tablespoon of the canola oil in a large skillet over high heat. When the oil starts to shimmer, add a third of the steak strips in a single layer and cook until well-browned on the first side, about 1 minute. Flip and cook until browned on the second side, about 1 more minute. Transfer to a large plate. Cook the remaining steak in 2 additional batches, adding 1 1/2 teaspoons of canola oil per batch. Transfer to the plate.
• Lower the heat to medium high. Add the onion and a splash of water to the empty skillet and cook, scraping up any browned bits and stirring constantly, for 2 minutes. Add the red and green bell peppers and cook, stirring frequently and adding another splash of water if the skillet starts to get too brown on the bottom, until the vegetables are crisp-tender, 5 to 7 minutes. Add the garlic and ginger and cook, stirring constantly, until softened, about 1 minute.
• Return the steak to the skillet and stir to combine. Whisk the cornstarch into the sauce, then pour it into the skillet. Cook, stirring constantly, until the sauce is thick and glossy, about 2 minutes. Transfer the pepper steak to a large serving platter and top with sliced scallions and toasted sesame seeds. Serve immediately with a side of steamed rice.

Steps:

• Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook onion, bell peppers, and garlic in oil until tender-crisp, stirring frequently. Set aside.
• Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Pour soy sauce, honey, and red wine vinegar in pan, then add beef. Cook beef, stirring frequently, until done, about 10 to 15 minutes. Stir in cooked vegetables, and cook another 10 to 15 minutes.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, mix first eight ingredients; toss with beef. Refrigerate, covered, 2-3 hours., Thread beef strips, weaving back and forth, onto six metal or soaked wooden skewers; discard marinade. Grill beef, uncovered, over medium heat until desired doneness, 6-9 minutes, turning occasionally.

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Brush peppers inside and out with olive oil, then sprinkle inside and out with salt and pepper.
• 2. Lay peppers skin side up on a parchment lined baking sheet. Bake 30-35 minutes, or until skin begins to blacken.
• 3. Remove peppers from oven and immediately place and seal in a paper beg for 15 minutes. The paper bag will steam and release the skins from the peppers. After 15 minutes just remove the peppers from the bag and peel the skin right off!
• 4. Put the roasted peppers, 2-3 TB olive oil, 1 TB white balsamic vinegar, 2 cloves of garlic, and 1 1/2 tsp of salt into a food processor or blender; blend until smooth. Remove sauce to a bowl and set aside.
• 5. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat; meanwhile, liberally salt and pepper steak on both sides. Add 1-2 TB olive oil and 1-2 TB of butter to the hot skillet. As soon as butter has melted, add the steaks to the skillet and sear for 3-4 minutes on each side. Note: using a strong pair of tongs, make sure that the sides of the steak are seared as well by rotating the steak around all its edges. Remember, we are keeping the steaks very, very rare as we will be finishing them in the oven.
• 6. As soon as you have a good sear, remove steak to a cutting board and let rest for 10-15 minutes; this will allow the steak to re-absorb all the juices and keep them super tender.
• 7. When steaks have fully rested, cut them into1/2 thick strips; the steak will be very rare but that's what we want. Thread strips of steak onto prepared bamboo skewers. Arrange skewers on a parchment lined baking sheet.
• 8. Brush both sides of each skewer liberally with the roasted red bell pepper sauce. Put into 400 degree oven for approximately 8 minutes, flipping skewer halfway through.
