GARLIC-RUBBED SKIRT STEAK AND VIDALIA ONIONS WITH PEANUT ROMESCO

Steps:

• To prepare the steak, using paper towels, pat the steak dry and place in a large bowl; slather the garlic paste and olive oil all over the meat, turning to coat. Add the onions. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to overnight.
• To make the romesco sauce, grind the peanuts in a food processor. Add the roasted peppers, tomato puree, garlic, bread, and paprika. Process into a paste. Add the vinegar and pulse to blend. With the motor running, gradually pour the oil through the feed tube in a steady stream until the mixture thickens like mayonnaise. Taste and adjust for seasoning with salt and pepper and then transfer to a serving bowl.
• When ready to grill the steak, scrape any excess garlic off the beef and discard. If using a charcoal grill, prepare the fire using about 6 pounds of charcoal and burn until the coals are completely covered with a thin coating of light gray ash, 20 to 30 minutes. Spread the coals evenly over the grill bottom, position the grill rack above the coals, and heat until medium-hot (when you can hold your hand 5 inches above the grill surface for no longer than 3 or 4 seconds). If using a gas grill, turn all the burners to High, close the lid, and heat until about 500 degrees F, 10 to 15 minutes. If using a grill pan, heat the pan over medium-high heat.
• Cut the steak into one or more pieces if it is very large. Grill the meat and onions over direct heat until char lines appear, the meat is done to taste, and the onions are tender and charred, 3 to 5 minutes per side. (A vegetable basket will help keep the onions from falling through the grates if you're cooking over a gas or charcoal grill.) Let the steak rest for 5 minutes before slicing it across the grain. Serve the steak and onions with the romesco sauce on the side.
• Cook's Note: To prepare the garlic paste, place the unpeeled garlic on a cutting board, broad-side down, set the flat side of a chef's knife on top, and give the knife a quick whack with the palm of your hand to crush each clove. Remove the papery skin and trim away the tough basal plane at the end of the clove. Halve the garlic and remove any of the green shoot, if present, as it is bitter. Coarsely chop the garlic, then sprinkle it with a pinch of coarse salt. (The salt acts as an abrasive and helps grind the garlic.) Using the side of the knife like an artist's palette knife, press firmly on the cutting board and crush the garlic a little at a time. Repeat until the garlic is a fine paste.

GRILLED VIDALIA ONIONS WITH BACON BUTTER

Steps:

• Preheat grill to medium heat.
• Cut onion top and "backtail" so onion can sit flat. Peel the onion. Using a parking knife cut a hollow cone-like shape into the center of the onion making sure not to go all the way to the bottom. Salt and pepper to the cavity. Place onions on individual squares of heavy duty aluminum foil.
• Add the butter, bacon, blue cheese, and thyme to a bowl and mix until well combined. Add large dollops of the butter to each cavity of the onions. Fold the aluminum foil all around the onion, gathering at the top and sealing to create a tent.
• Place on the grill over direct heat and cover the grill. Cook for 30 minutes until onions are soft. Let cool for 5 minutes before opening the foil packet and serving.

Steps:

• Whisk together the Worcestershire sauce, mustard, thyme and salt and pepper, to taste, in a medium bowl until combined. Slowly whisk in the olive oil until emulsified. Let sit at room temperature while you prepare the steak and onions.
• Remove the steaks from the refrigerator 20 minutes before grilling. Heat the grill pan over high heat until it begins to smoke. Pat the steaks dry with paper towels. Brush both sides of the steaks with canola oil and season well with salt and pepper. Arrange the steaks on the grill pan and let cook until golden brown and charred, about 5 minutes. Flip the steaks, lower the heat to medium and continue cooking to medium-rare doneness (130 degrees F internal temperature on an instant-read thermometer), about 4 minutes longer. Remove from the heat and arrange on a serving platter. Loosely tent with foil and let rest while you grill the onions.
• Brush the onions on both sides with canola oil and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Grill until golden brown and slightly charred on both sides and just cooked through, about 2 minutes per side. Separate the slices into rings and add to a small bowl. Add half of the vinaigrette to the onions and gently toss to coat. Serve the steaks topped with the onions and drizzled with the remaining vinaigrette.

• Uncover, sprinkle with the caster sugar and balsamic vinegar and turn up the heat. Cook over a brisk heat for about another ten minutes, stirring from time to time, but watching it like a hawk! The onions should start to turn a beautiful rich brown colour, if not, just cook a little longer! Set aside when cooked.
• Heat a ridged griddle pan until smoking hot. Remove the venison from the marinade and pat dry with kitchen paper. Put the venison on the griddle to sear for 2-3 minutes then turn the heat down to medium and griddle without moving for another 2-3 minutes. Turn over and cook for a further three minutes. This is for rare meat, cook for 2-3 minutes longer for medium rare. Lift onto a plate, cover with foil and leave to rest for ten minutes to allow the venison to relax.
• Brush the ciabatta loaf and with olive oil then toast on the griddle or under the grill.
