PORTERHOUSE STEAK WITH FRA DIAVOLO BBQ SAUCE AND CHERRY PEPPERS IN VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• Heat oil in a medium saucepan on side burners or grates of the grill. Add onion and garlic and cook until soft. Add red pepper flakes and cook for 1 minute. Add remaining ingredients, season with salt and pepper and cook until sauce has thickened, about 25 to 30 minutes.
• Season steaks on both sides with salt and pepper. Grill until golden brown, about 4 to 5 minutes. Turn over and continue grilling for 4 to 5 minutes for medium-rare doneness. Baste with the sauce during the last few minutes. Remove from the grill and brush with more of the sauce. Let meat rest for 5 minutes then slice into 1/4-inch thick slices.
• Preheat a grill. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Toss the cherry peppers with 2 tablespoons of the olive oil in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Spread the peppers on a sheet pan and roast for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the skin is blistered. Set aside to cool slightly. Remove the stems and seeds from the cherry peppers and roughly chop.
• Drizzle the red and yellow peppers with 2 tablespoons of the olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Place on the grill and cook until the skin is starting to blacken and blister. Remove from the grill and set aside to cool for 15 minutes. Roughly chop the peppers.
• In a bowl, combine the cherry peppers, red and yellow tomatoes, parsley, and Basil Vinaigrette. Season, to taste, with salt and pepper. Serve.
• Combine all ingredients and blend until smooth. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper, to taste.

GRILLED RIB-EYE WITH FRA DIAVOLO LOBSTER RELISH

Steps:

• For the lobster relish: Bring an inch of water to a boil in a large pot with a steamer insert. Set the lobster belly-up on a cutting board. Pierce it with a knife just under the base of the head, and cut it deeply through the belly to kill it quickly. Transfer the lobster to the steamer, cover and cook for 8 minutes.
• Meanwhile, add 1 tablespoon of the olive oil along with the garlic to a small saute pan set over medium heat. Cook until golden and fragrant, then transfer the garlic to a medium bowl. Add the tomatoes, red pepper flakes and lemon zest and juice to the bowl. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and set aside.
• The moment the lobster is done shock it in an ice bath to stop cooking. When cool enough to handle, pull off the tail and claws and remove the meat. Chop up the meat and add it to the tomato mixture. Drizzle with some olive oil.
• In another saute pan, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the lobster-tomato mixture and heat it through. Add the white wine and cook for another minute. Remove from heat and stir in the parsley and oregano.
• For the steak: About 20 minutes before cooking, remove the steak from the refrigerator and let it sit, covered, to come up to room temperature. Mix together the ancho powder, paprika, mustard, salt, cayenne, coriander, cumin and black pepper in a bowl and set aside.
• Preheat a large cast-iron pan over high heat and set the oven to broil.
• Brush the steak on both sides with the canola oil and season liberally with salt and pepper. Sprinkle one side of the steak with the spice rub. Drizzle a little canola oil in the pan; when it begins to smoke, add the steak rub-side down and cook until a nice crust forms, about 2 minutes.
• Transfer the steak to a cutting board and slice it against the grain 1-inch thick. Return the steak to the pan, rub-side up. Scatter the butter on top and broil to medium-rare, about 4 minutes. Remove the pan from the oven and baste the steak with the pan juices.
• Assembly: Arrange the steak and the lobster relish on a plate. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of the steak juices. Garnish with oregano and parsley.
