Herbed Chuck Steaks Food

HERB BUTTER SERVED ON STEAKS

Steps:

• Pre-heat the oven to 200C degrees/400 degrees F/ Gas Mark 6.
• Remove some of the rosemary leaves from the stalks by running your thumb and forefinger down the length of the stalk. Sharpen the ends of the rosemary skewer to make them into little arrows, then pierce them through the beef to flavor it. Chop up the rosemary leaves and press onto the beef on both sides. Cover and allow to stand for 1/2 hour until room temperature. (Beef tastes better if cooked at room temperature.)
• Make the butter by bashing the garlic, summer savory and a pinch of salt in a pestle and mortar, then combine with the softened butter, mixing to flavor all of it. Put into buttered paper, roll into a sausage shape, and chill.
• Cook the potatoes in boiling, salted water for about 10 to 15 minutes. Drain, then toss in the colander to chuff up.
• Drizzle some oil over the beef and pat onto both sides. Heat a frying pan suitable for the oven, and cook the beef for 1 minute on each side. Remove from the pan, add the potatoes with some rosemary and bashed garlic, salt and pepper, then put the beef back into the pan. Put the pan into the oven and roast the beef and potatoes for about 30 minutes.
• To serve, slice the meat and place 2 slices of the butter on top. (Freeze the remaining butter.)

GRILLED STEAK WITH HERB BUTTER

Steps:

• To make the herb butter by hand: In a large bowl, combine the butter, shallot, and parsley, mixing well with a wooden spoon or rubber spatula until fully combined. Season with the salt and pepper, add the panko, mix again, and set aside.
• To make the herb butter in a food processor: Combine the butter, shallot, and parsley in the bowl of the food processor and pulse until blended. Scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl to make sure the ingredients are thoroughly incorporated. Add the panko, salt, and pepper and pulse four or five times to mix. Transfer the herb butter to a bowl and set aside.
• Heat an outdoor grill, a grill pan, or the broiler on high.
• Cut the tomatoes into four slices each. Place three slices on each of four plates. Season with a pinch of salt and a drizzle of the extra-virgin olive oil.
• Grill the steaks to your desired doneness (see Cook's Note), remove from the grill, and spread 1 or 2 tablespoons of the herb butter evenly on top of each steak.
• Place one hot steak on top of each plate of the seasoned tomatoes and serve.

MARINATED GRILLED CHUCK STEAK

Steps:

• Trim excess fat from the steak, and place in a shallow container or a large zip lock bag.
• Combine all the other ingredients, stirring well; pour the marinade over the steak. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator at least 8 hours, turning once.
• Take steak out of the refrigerator to let it sit while you are getting your charcoal ready on your grill. This will help relax the meat so it is even more tender.
• Remove steak from the marinade. Grill over hot coals 8 minutes on each side, or until it reaches the desired degree of doneness. (I don't cook mine that long).

CHUCK BLADE STEAKS WITH HERB WINE SAUCE

Steps:

• Pat steaks dry and sprinkle both sides with salt and pepper.
• Heat 1 tablespoon butter and oil in a 12-inch heavy skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then sauté steaks 3 minutes per side for medium. Transfer steaks with tongs to a plate and keep warm, loosely covered.
• Add remaining 2 tablespoons butter to skillet and cook shallot over moderate heat, stirring, until softened, about 2 minutes. Remove skillet from heat and carefully add wine and any meat juices that have accumulated on plate with steaks. Simmer until reduced by half, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in herbs and salt and pepper to taste.
• Serve steaks with sauce poured over.
