SZECHWAN-MARINATED FLAT IRON STEAK

Steps:

• In a small saute pan, heat the chili and peanut oils. Add the jalapeno, shallots, cilantro, green onions, and ginger and cook until slightly tender. Remove from the heat and set aside.
• Combine the marinade ingredients in a medium bowl and whisk together until thoroughly combined. Place the steaks in the marinade and refrigerate for 12 hours.
• Heat the grill to high heat. Remove steaks from the marinade and season with a little salt and pepper. Grill to desired temperature, about 2 to 3 minutes per side. Remove the steaks from the grill and allow to rest. Slice the steaks on a thin bias and set aside.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together all the ingredients. Set aside.
• Heat the peanut oil in a wok or hot saute pan over high heat. Add the mushrooms, asparagus, scallions, bok choy, and red onions, and cook until tender. Deglaze the vegetables with the Szechwan Deglaze until almost all the liquid is absorbed.

A GREAT PYE

Steps:

• Line a 9-inch pie plate with half of the pastry. Brush the inside with some of the egg white. Skin the pieces of the breast and other meat if necessary and parboil them gently in salted water for 10 to 15 minutes. Drain and cool.
• In a mixing bowl, combine the minced beef, suet, salt and pepper, the egg yolks, and half of the spice mixture. Add the rest of the spices to the dried fruit in another bowl. Slice the parboiled meat.
• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Add 1 to 2 tablespoons of the beef stock to the rice flour or corn flour in small saucepan and cream them together. Stir in the remaining stock and stir over gentle heat until thickened. Remove from the heat and set aside. Cover the bottom of the lined pastry pan with half of the minced mixture. Arrange the sliced meat in a layer over the top. Scatter the chopped spiced fruit over it and cover the remaining minced meat. Pour the thickened stock over the top.
• Roll out the remaining pastry into a round to make a lid for the pie. Brush the rim of the case with a little more egg white and cover with the lid. Press the edges to seal, and make escape slits for steam. Decorate with the pastry trimmings and glaze with the egg white. Bake for 15 minutes, then reduce the heat to 325 degrees F and bake for 45 to 50 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool slightly before serving. Slice into individual pieces and serve warm or at room temperature.

PERFECT FLAT IRON STEAK

Steps:

• Place the steak inside of a large resealable bag. In a small bowl, stir together the olive oil, garlic, parsley, rosemary, chives, Cabernet, salt, pepper and mustard powder. Pour over the steak in the bag. Press out as much air as you can and seal the bag. Marinate in the refrigerator for 2 to 3 hours.
• Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the steak in the hot skillet for 3 to 4 minutes on each side, or to your desired degree of doneness. Discard the marinade. These steaks taste best at medium rare. Allow them to rest for about 5 minutes before serving.

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.

FOOLPROOF FLAT IRON STEAKS

Steps:

• Place steaks, balsamic vinegar, olive oil, green onions, garlic, soy sauce, thyme, mustard, and black pepper in an extra large resealable plastic bag, squeeze out excess air, and seal the bag. Knead the bag with your hands to distribute ingredients evenly and completely coat the steaks. Marinate in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
• Preheat grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate. Remove steaks from refrigerator and let sit at room temperature for 10 minutes.
• Remove steaks from bag and discard marinade.
• Cook steaks on the preheated grill until they start to firm and are reddish-pink and juicy in the center, 6 to 7 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 130 degrees F (54 degrees C). Remove steaks to a plate and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

FLAT IRON STEAK WITH MUSHROOM SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
• Sprinkle both sides of flat iron steak with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Heat a heavy, oven-proof skillet over medium-high heat, pour 2 teaspoons vegetable oil into the hot skillet, and heat until oil shimmers. Sear steak in the hot oil until well browned, about 3 minutes per side. Remove steak from pan and reduce heat to medium.
• Pour 1 more teaspoon vegetable oil into skillet; cook and stir cremini mushrooms in hot oil until wilted and browned, about 10 minutes. Lower heat to medium-low; pour wine into mushrooms and bring to a boil. Cook until wine is slightly reduced, 3 to 5 minutes; add beef stock to vegetable mixture. Bring mixture to a simmer.
• Stir butter and flour into a paste in a small bowl, using a fork. Stir flour paste into mushroom mixture and simmer until sauce is thickened, about 5 minutes. Place flat iron steak into skillet with mushroom sauce.
• Place skillet in preheated oven and cook until steak is barely pink inside, about 10 minutes. Cut steak into thin slices on the diagonal and place meat on a platter.
