Szechwan Pepper Crusted Steak Smothered With Onions Recipes

Steps:

• Season the steak on both sides with salt and then coat with the peppercorns. Whisk the vinegar and maple syrup in a large bowl and add the shallot; set aside.
• Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add 2 tablespoons vegetable oil. Add the steak and cook, undisturbed, until a crust forms, 4 to 5 minutes per side, plus about 1 minute on each of the long edges. Transfer to a cutting board to rest.
• While the steak cooks, heat a second large skillet over high heat. Add 2 tablespoons vegetable oil and the mushrooms; cook, undisturbed, until starting to brown, about 3 minutes. Toss, season with salt and continue cooking until well browned and tender, about 5 more minutes.
• Whisk the mustard into the shallot mixture, then whisk in the remaining 1 tablespoon vegetable oil. Add the mesclun, parsley and sautéed mushrooms and toss; season with salt.
• Divide the salad among plates and top with the cheese. Slice the steak and add to the plates.

Steps:

• Combine the meat with the Essence and flour in a mixing bowl and toss to combine.
• Heat the oil in a large cast iron Dutch oven or high-sided skillet over medium-high heat and brown the meat, in batches, until browned on all sides, 4 to 5 minutes. Add 2 cups of the chicken broth and stir, scraping the bottom and sides of the pan to loosen any browned particles. Add the onions, bell peppers, salt, cayenne, and black pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, for 6 to 8 minutes, or until the vegetables are wilted. Reduce the heat to medium. Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, for 15 minutes. Add the remaining cup of broth and continue to cook, uncovered, for about 1 hour longer, or until the meat is very tender and the gravy is thickened and flavorful. Add the parsley and serve immediately over white rice, if using.
• Combine all ingredients thoroughly.

Steps:

• In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of the butter with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden, about 15 minutes. Transfer the onions to a bowl and set aside.
• Generously season both sides of the steak with salt and pepper. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of the oil to the skillet and fry the steak over medium heat, turning once, until browned, about 6 minutes per side for medium. Transfer the steak to a serving platter and cover to keep warm.
• Add the bourbon to the skillet and, over medium heat, scrape up any bits that cling to the pan. Allow the liquor to simmer until reduced by half, about 1 minute. Add the onions and the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and stir until the butter is melted. Reduce the heat and gently simmer until the onions are heated through, about 2 minutes. Season, to taste, with salt and pepper and stir in any juices that have run off from the steak.
• To serve, cut the steak into 1/4-inch-thick slices and top with the onions.

Steps:

• For the spice mix:
• Place the black peppercorns into a mortar and pestle and grind. Add in the Sichuan peppercorns and papaya seeds, if using, and grind. Transfer the spice mix to a container.
• For the steak:
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Heat a cast iron pan or skillet over high heat.
• Press the Sichuan peppercorn spice mix into all of the sides of the steaks, coating entirely and ensuring the spices adhere to the meat. Add the vegetable oil to the cast iron pan, and heat. Season the steaks with salt, to taste.
• Once the pan is smoking hot, add the steaks. Sear the steaks for 2 minutes or until golden. Do not move. Turn the steaks over, and transfer the pan to the preheated oven for 5 minutes, or until desired degree of doneness. Remove the pan from the oven, turn the steaks over, and set them aside. Allow the meat to rest for 10 minutes so the juices redistribute, before serving.
• For the onions:
• Heat a grill over medium-high heat and lightly grease the grates with oil.
• Toss the green onions in the vegetable oil, and season them with salt and pepper to taste.
• Grill the green onions for 1 minute. Flip the onions over, and continue cooking for 1 minute, or until onions have softened and are slightly charred.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees. In a blender, finely grind the first 7 ingredients in a blender or food processor. Add garlic and whirl to form a paste. Rub seasoning paste all over tenderloin. Set meat on rack in a 12 by 17-inch roasting pan. Roast in a 425 degree oven for 20 minutes. (If using buffalo, do not cook beyond rare or it will start to dry out). Meanwhile, rinse canned chipoltes, discard seeds and veins and mince. Mix onion slices with oil and put in roasting pan around meat (not on rack). Continue to cook until a thermometer inserted in center of the thickest part of meat registers 130 degrees for rare, 30 to 40 minutes longer. Transfer roast to a platter and let rest in a warm place for 10 to 15 minutes (to allow juices to settle and meat to firm slightly for neater slicing). Skim and discard excess fat from drippings in roasting pan. Add back the chipoltes and onions to pan. Set pan over medium-high and deglaze with the stock-wine mixture, cranberry sauce or chopped dried tart cherries (if using) scraping browned bits free, stirring until mixture is reduced to desired consistency. Sauce may be served as is or pureed and strained. Slice meat and offer chipolte-onion sauce to spoon over portions. Add salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Blend the mustard, mayonnaise, 1/4 of orange juice, and salt, and pepper, to taste in a food processor or blender.
• In a saucepan, combine the wine with the strawberries, orange-flavored liqueur, beef stock, and honey. Bring it to a simmer over medium heat, and cook until its reduced by half. Pour the mixture into a blender and puree until smooth.
• Coat the steaks in black peppercorns and season liberally with salt. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in an oven-proof saute pan over medium-high heat and sear the steaks for 2 minutes on each side, then transfer the pan to the oven, and cook for 8 minutes or until desired degree of doneness.
• While the steak is cooking, mix together the frisee, red onion, tomatoes, apples, and radishes in a bowl. Whisk together the remaining orange juice, lemon juice, and 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil in a small bowl. Season the dressing with salt, and pepper, to taste. Add the dressing to the salad and toss to coat. Serve the steaks over a bed of the salad and top with the zinfandel sauce and a bit of the aioli.

Steps:

• Mix the flour, salt and pepper together.
• Pound this mixture into the meat well.
• Cut the meat into 4-6 pieces.
• Heat the oil in a heavy skillet and cook the steaks in batches over medium-high heat until brown on both sides.
• Remove the meat and reduce the heat to medium.
• Add the onions and cook until limp and golden.
• If the pan is dry, add a few tablespoons of water to the skillet.
• Lay the meat over the onions and add the bay leaves, thyme, beer and beef stock.
• Cover tightly and reduce the heat to low.
• Simmer gently for 30-40 minutes until the meat is very tender.
• Do not let it boil.
• Remove the bay leaves and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper.
• If the sauce is too thin, remove the meat and raise the heat; boil until the liquid thickens slightly.
• Serve the steaks topped with the onions and sauce.
• This is good served with either mashed potatoes or buttered noodles.
