Fish Steak With Tomato Chili Butter Food

TOMATO-POACHED FISH WITH CHILE OIL AND HERBS

Steps:

• Heat 1/4 cup olive oil in a large skillet (use one with a lid) over medium-high. Add garlic and shallots and cook, swirling the skillet constantly until they start to toast and turn light golden brown, 2 minutes or so. Add red-pepper flakes and swirl to toast for a few seconds. Remove from heat and transfer all but 1 tablespoon of the chile oil to a small bowl.
• Add tomatoes to the skillet and season with salt and pepper. Cook, tossing occasionally, until they burst and start to become saucy and jammy, 5 to 8 minutes. Add fish sauce, if using, and 1 1/2 cups water, swirling to release any of the bits stuck on the bottom of the skillet.
• Cook until the sauce is slightly thickened but still nice and brothy, 3 to 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
• Season the fish with salt and pepper and gently lay the pieces in the brothy tomatoes. Cover the skillet and cook until the fish is opaque and just cooked through, 4 to 6 minutes (slightly longer for a thicker piece of fish, like halibut).
• To serve, transfer fish and brothy tomatoes to a large shallow bowl or divide among four bowls. Drizzle with reserved chile oil, more olive oil and the crispy shallots and garlic. Top with cilantro and mint, and serve with limes for squeezing over the top. Serve with tortillas, toast or rice, if you like.

• A couple hours before gilling, remove the steak from the plastic bag and discard marinade.
• Let the steak sit out to almost room temperature, this might take a couple of hours (this is an important step, it relaxes the meat fibers to create a more tender, flavorful and juicy steak).
• When ready to grill heat the grill to medium heat.
• Grill for about 7-10 minutes per side.
• Remove the beef to a cutting board, cover and let sit for a minimum of 20 minutes.

GRILLED FISH WITH A SUN-DRIED BASIL TOMATO BUTTER

Steps:

• Butter -- Mix the butter, tomatoes, basil, and shallots together in a small bowl, cover and refrigerate. This can easily be done ahead.
• Fish and Marinade -- Remove the fish from the refrigerator and set on the counter in a small dish. Mix the olive oil, vinegar, and Italian seasoning together in a small bowl and brush on both sides of the fish. Let the fish marinate for 15-20 minutes. This will also let the fish come to room temperature before you cook it.
• Fish -- I prefer to grill this dish. Inside or outside. But you can also pan sear and even broil. Make sure to season the fish well on both sides with salt and pepper before cooking. Use whichever method you prefer. I lightly oiled my grill pan just with a non stick spray and grill on both sides until golden brown and firm to the touch. I can't give exact cooking times, because each type of fish will be different. You want it opaque, firm and flaky but just once it gets to that point. Fish should not be overcooked.
• Serve -- Top each fillet with a spoon of the chilled butter. It will melt and give the fish an amazing flavor.
• Quick cooking couscous and pan seared fresh spinach makes this a 15 minute healthy meal. And don't forget - this is great over steak, chicken or pork. The only difference is - you need to marinate it for a much longer period.
• ENJOY!

FISH STEAK WITH TOMATO CHILI BUTTER

• Drain fish, discard marinade. Cook fish on an oiled grill plate or in a fry pan or BBQ. Until browned on both sides and cooked through.

• Spoon mixture onto a piece of foil, roll up firmly, shape into a log, freeze or refrigerate until firm.
• Serve fish topped with chili butter.
• I took a photo of the butter atop fish, but it takes quite awhile to melt, so I either, place fish under grill to melt or zap quickly, about 30 secs in the microwave to melt completely.
