Tea Braised Hanger Steak With Root Vegetables Recipes

Steps:

• Remove all silver skin and extra fat from the steak. Carefully cut out the connective tissue that connects the 2 halves of the steak, separating the whole into 2 long pieces. Cut lobe of meat from one half (it's a piece that is slightly separated from the larger half). Then cut each of the 2 larger halves into 2 steaks each. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
• Heat skillet over high heat. Add clarified butter when pan is hot, then place the steaks in the pan. Reduce heat to medium. Cook until browned on all sides, firm, and reddish-pink on the inside. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 125 degrees F (52 degrees C), a total of about 12 minutes. (This cut of meat has a sort of triangular shape, so about 4 minutes per side.) Transfer to a warm plate and tent with foil to let steaks rest and allow temperature to rise to 130 degrees F.
• Pour stock into skillet set over medium heat. Stir with a wooden spoon scraping up the browned bits from the bottom. When brownings dissolve and liquid begins to reduce after 2 or 3 minutes, reduce heat to low. Add accumulated juices from the meat, balsamic vinegar, and butter chunks. Cook and stir until butter melts. If liquid has reduced too much, add a splash of broth. Taste to check if sauce needs a bit of salt.
• To serve, slice steaks and spoon pan sauce over them.

Steps:

• Place the boar in a bamboo steamer. Line wok with foil and mix tea, rice and sugar together and place on foil. Place the bamboo steamer over the wok. Cover and seal with wet towel. On low heat, smoke the mixture for 20 to 30 minutes then turn off heat and let stand for 20 more minutes. Meanwhile, in a stock pot coated with oil, saute the onions, carrots, celery and garlic. Add the smoked boar. Season and add the soy, sugar, wine, and water, to cover. Check for seasoning and bring to a simmer. Simmer for 1 1/2 to 2 hours until meat is extremely tender. Right before serving, add the greens to wilt. In a wok or large saute pan, coat lightly with oil and saute the scallion whites and add the Spam and pineapple. Add the rice and season. Plating: In large bowl, place a mound of fried rice and top with boar. Garnish with scallion greens.

Steps:

• For the glaze: Add the orange peel, bourbon, cherry juice and some black pepper to a small saucepan. Simmer until reduced to 1/4 cup, about 10 minutes. Your pot may flambe from the bourbon, don't worry- just wait until the alcohol burns off. Once reduced, turn off the heat and whisk in the butter.
• Sprinkle the steak liberally with salt and pepper. Heat a cast-iron pan over medium-high heat. Add a light coat of oil and place the steak in the pan. Cook the steak almost to desired doneness, depending on thickness, 3 to 5 minutes per side. Turn off the heat and glaze the steak on all sides in the pan while flipping. Remove the steak from the pan to rest.
• For the sandwich build: Pile some Bourbon Creamed Spinach on the bottom piece of the pretzel roll. Thinly slice the steak against the grain and place on top of the spinach. Top with some red onions and finish with the top of the roll. Repeat for the remaining sandwiches.
• Strain the thawed spinach in a colander and squeeze liquid out with a towel. Melt the butter in a large straight-sided skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and onions, season with salt and pepper and cook until onions are softened, about 5 minutes. Turn off the heat and add the bourbon. Stir to combine, turn heat back on to medium and simmer 1 minute. Add the cream, and cook until the cream is reduced by half, about 5 minutes. Stir in the cheese and cook until melted, and then mix in the spinach to combine. Cover and cook over low heat until the spinach is tender, 8 to 10 minutes, and then season with salt and pepper.

Steps:

• Cut round steak into serving size pieces.
• Brown cut up round steak and then add add all other ingredients.
• Simmer about 1 1/2 hours or until meat is tender. I sometimes add cut up potatoes in the last 45 minutes. You will have delicious gravy. If you want the gravy thicker use potato buds to thicken. It works great.
