Cuban Flair Beef Chuck Eye Steak Food

NO-NONSENSE CHUCK EYE STEAK

Steps:

• Cover both sides of the steak, first with the salt, followed by the pepper, and finally the olive oil.
• Cook on an outdoor grill, or a hot cast iron pan, for 5 minutes per side.
• Allow to rest for an additional 3 minutes on the plate. Enjoy.

CUBAN FLAIR BEEF CHUCK EYE STEAK

Steps:

• Preheat broiler (or grill).
• Place in oven safe baking dish (I have a special glass one). Pour garlic oil over top of steak, coating the top. Sprinkle on the spices, any order.
• Broil about 20-25 minutes, depending on the thickness of your steak. I start mine at the same time as my Spicy Cuban Yellow rice and when the rice cooker is done, so is the steak, about 25 minutes.

CUBAN FLANK STEAK AND PEPPER STEW

Steps:

• Season flank steak and brown on all sides in a Dutch oven. Remove. Add diced vegetables and lightly brown. Add vinegar, broth and seasonings. Add meat and simmer 2 1/2 hours over low heat.
• Let cool 30 minutes. Remove meat to a large bowl and shred. Strain solids, reserving cooking liquid.
• Saute sliced vegetables in now empty Dutch oven; do not allow to burn. Add tomato paste and crushed tomatoes. Simmer 15 minutes. Return meat and enough reserved cooking liquid, for desired consistency, and adjust seasonings.

CUBAN MARINATED STEAK

Steps:

• Place cumin seeds into a small skillet over medium heat; stir constantly until seeds turn dark brown and smell toasted, about 1 minute. Immediately pour seeds into a bowl to stop the cooking. Mix cumin seeds with orange juice, vegetable oil, steak seasoning, lime juice, and oregano in a bowl.
• Place steaks into a large resealable plastic bag, pour orange juice marinade over the meat, and squeeze out air. Seal bag and turn it over several times to coat meat with marinade. Refrigerate at least 30 minutes, or longer for extra flavor.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Remove steaks from marinade, shaking off any excess. Discard used marinade. Grill steaks on the preheated grill until seared on the outsides and still slightly pink in the centers, 6 to 8 minutes per side. An instant-read meat thermometer inserted sideways into the center of the thickest steak should read 145 degrees F (65 degrees C). Let steaks rest for 3 minutes before slicing.

CUBED STEAK HOAGIES

Steps:

• Mix together all the ingredients from the beef broth through the cracked black pepper to create a marinade.
• Using a meat tenderizer, pound the cubed steaks into 1/4-1/2 inch thickness.
• Separate the cubed steaks into two gallon-sized plastic storage bags. Cover the steaks with the marinade.
• Marinate the cubed steaks in the refrigerator for 30 minutes or longer.
• Slice the peppers and onion into 1/4 inch thick slices. Saute together with the oil until tender.
• Combine the mayonnasie and parmesan cheese to use as a spread.
• Grill the cubed steaks over medium-hot coals to desired doneness, about five minutes each side for medium. Brush with marinade during grilling.
• Serve on toasted hoagie rolls. Top with provolone slices, sauteed peppers and onions, and parmesan mayonnaise.
