Flat Iron Steak With Tango Sauce Food

FLAT IRON STEAK WITH CABERNET SAUCE

Steps:

• Take the steak out of the refrigerator 20 minutes before you are ready to cook it so that it can come to room temperature. This will help it cook more evenly.
• In a small pot over high heat, add the broth and wine and simmer until reduced by half, about 10 minutes.
• Heat oil in a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat until it is very hot. Season the steak with the grill seasoning and put it in the skillet. Cook about 3 minutes per side for medium-rare. Remove it from the pan, cover it with foil, and let it rest for 5 minutes while you finish the sauce.
• Reduce the heat under the skillet to medium and add the shallots. Cook until they begin to soften, about 3 minutes. Add the reduced broth and wine mixture and cook until thickened, about for about 5 minutes. Stir in the butter and cook until the butter is melted and incorporated into the sauce. Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper, if needed.
• Slice the steak against the grain into thin slices, arrange them on a serving platter and serve with the sauce on the side or poured over top.

FLAT IRON STEAK WITH RED WINE SAUCE

Steps:

• Prepare the grill or barbecue (medium-high heat). Sprinkle the steaks with salt and pepper and drizzle with the 3 tablespoons of olive oil. Grill to desired doneness, about 5 minutes per side for medium-rare. Transfer the steaks to a cutting board. Tent with foil and let stand 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a heavy large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the onions and saute until tender, about 5 minutes. Season with salt. Add the garlic and oregano and saute until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Stir in the tomato paste and cook for 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Whisk in the wine. Simmer until the sauce reduces by half, stirring occasionally, about 10 minutes. Remove the skillet from the heat. Strain the sauce into a small bowl, pressing on the solids to extract as much liquid as possible. Discard the solids in the strainer and return the sauce to the saucepan and bring back to a slow simmer. Cut the remaining 4 tablespoons of butter into small 1/2-inch chunks and whisk in the sauce a little at a time. Season the sauce, to taste, with salt and pepper.
• Thinly slice the steaks across the grain. Divide the steak slices among 6 plates. Drizzle the sauce over the steak, drizzle a little more extra-virgin olive oil and serve.

BUTTER-BASTED FLAT IRON STEAK WITH TOMATO BUTTER SAUCE AND PARSLEY NOODLES

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
• Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. When it?s hot, add the oil. Sprinkle the steaks with salt and pepper and cook 2 steaks until browned on one side, about 4 minutes. Remove the steaks from the skillet. Add the 2 remaining steaks and cook until browned on one side, about 4 minutes. Flip these steaks and return the first 2 steaks to the skillet, raw-side down. Add 2 tablespoons of the butter and the thyme. Once the butter melts, tilt the skillet slightly to pool the liquid, then constantly spoon the butter over the steaks until the meat is medium-rare, about 4 minutes more. Transfer the steaks to a rimmed plate to rest, reserving the skillet.
• Add the pasta to the boiling water and cook according to package directions. Reserve 1/4 cup of the cooking water and drain the pasta. Return the pasta to the pot and toss with 2 tablespoons of the butter and the parsley.
• Put the tomatoes in the same skillet used to cook the steaks and cook over medium heat until blackened in spots and softened, about 4 minutes. When the tomatoes are very soft, remove the thyme sprigs and carefully mash the tomatoes with a slotted spoon or potato masher. Stir in the remaining 2 tablespoons butter and the vinegar until incorporated, adding up to 1/4 cup pasta cooking water if necessary to make a smooth sauce. Season with 1/2 teaspoon salt.
• Slice the steaks thinly against the grain and add any juices that accumulate to the tomato butter sauce. Divide the sliced steak among 4 plates and spoon some tomato butter sauce over the top. Serve with the noodles.
