New York Strip Steak With Sauce Robert Over Baby Potatoes Food

THE PERFECT NEW YORK STRIP STEAK

Steps:

• Roast the steaks at low heat: Preheat oven to 275 degrees F. Season steaks generously with salt on all sides. Place steaks on a wire rack fitted over a rimmed baking sheet; this will ensure even airflow all around the steaks as they cook. Cook for 25-35 minutes, checking after 20 minutes, until internal temperature reaches 125 degrees F. (Note: Once the temperature reaches 80 degrees F, it will climb quickly.) For an accurate temperature, place the thermometer through the side into the center of the steak. When steak reaches 125 degrees F, let rest 10 minutes.
• Sear the steaks: Heat skillet over high heat. Add the oil and heat until smoking; then add the steaks. Cook for 1 minute, undisturbed. Flip steaks, drain off the fat, then cook another 1 minute, undisturbed. Meanwhile, gently smash the garlic cloves with the heel of your hand until you hear a crack, leaving the peels attached.Add 2 tablespoons of butter, garlic cloves, thyme, and rosemary to the skillet. Tilt the pan and continually baste the steaks with the hot butter as it browns and gets foamy. Take the pan off the heat as you baste if the butter is browning too quickly or the herbs and garlic are starting to burn. Add remaining tablespoon of butter; once the first side is well-browned, flip the steaks and continue basting-a French technique called arroser-until the butter is no longer foamy. (Once the steaks have been flipped, Chef Pandel continues basting with his pan entirely off the heat; you may need to do the same, depending on the variables of stove temperature, pan, and the steaks themselves.) When it's no longer foamy, the butter has done its job and the steaks should be well seared with a nice crust. Check the temperature of the steaks: for medium-rare, the internal temperature should be 125 degrees F-130 degrees F. Remove steaks to the rack to rest, about 10 minutes. Serve right away.

ONE PAN NEW YORK STRIP STEAKS & CRISPY POTATOES & SAUCE

Steps:

• For the parsley sauce: Process all ingredients in food processor until finely chopped and well combined, about 20 seconds; set aside for serving.
• For the steak and potatoes: Toss potatoes with 1 tablespoon oil, 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper in bowl. Cover and microwave, stirring occasionally until potatoes begin to soften, 5 to 7 minutes; drain well.
• Meanwhile, heat 1 tablespoon oil in 12-inch non-stick skillet over medium-high heat until just smoking. Pat steaks dry with paper towels and season with salt and pepper. Lay steaks in skillet and cook until well browned on first side, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Flip steaks, reduce heat to medium and cook until meat registers 120 to 125 degrees (for medium rare), 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer steaks to cutting board, tent with aluminum foil and let rest while finishing potatoes.

PEPPERCORN DEMI NY STRIP STEAK WITH OLIVE OIL POACHED MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• For the mushrooms: In a saucepan over medium-high heat, bring the oil to a light simmer and reduce to medium heat. Then add the mushrooms and cook until the exterior of the mushrooms softens, about 4 minutes. Remove and hold on a plate until serving.
• For the steak: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Warm the prepared potatoes and hold warm. Heat a thick-bottomed pan until the verge of smoking over medium-high heat. Then sprinkle the steaks with salt and pepper on both sides. Apply the steak to the heated pan. Sear on the first side for 4 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium, and then flip and repeat the process on the second side. This will result in a medium-rare steak. Finish the oven for higher temperatures.
• Once the steak is cooked, remove from the pan to rest, and then add the peppercorns to the pan and warm for 20 seconds. Then add the demi-glace and garlic, warming for 3 minutes. Once warmed, remove from the heat and stir in the butter until smooth.
• To serve, place a quarter of the mashed potatoes in the center of a plate, then place the cooked steak and drizzle with 1/4 cup sauce. Finish with a quarter of the mushrooms and 5 pieces of poached asparagus and serve.

DUAL CONTROLS CHICKEN AND STEAK - HERB POACHED CHICKEN WITH OLIVE SALSA OVER BASMATI RICE AND NEW YORK STRIP STEAK WITH SAUCE ROBERT OVER BABY POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• To make the olive salsa for the chicken topping, slice the root end off the entire head of garlic and turn it upside down, wrap it in aluminum foil and mold the foil so it supports the garlic to allow the cut end to stand upright in the oven. Pour about 1 teaspoon olive oil on the garlic so it slips between the skin and the cloves and wrap with the foil so it is enclosed. Roast for about 1 hour and set aside until it is cool enough to handle.
• In a small bowl combine the tomato, basil, parsley, peppercorns, olives and 2 tablespoons olive oil. Gently squeeze the roasted garlic cloves from the skins into the mixture. Fold everything together and set aside to let flavors integrate.
• For the rice accompaniment to the chicken, melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat and stir in the basmati rice, thyme leaves, salt, and pepper, allowing rice to toast for a few minutes. Then add the chicken stock, bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, cover and let simmer covered and undisturbed for 20 minutes. Remove from heat and let stand 5 minutes.
• While the rice is cooking begin the sauce for the steak. Heat the olive oil in a medium saucepan, over medium-high heat, and saute the shallot until it becomes translucent. Add the mushrooms and cook until they are tender and give up their juices. (While the mushrooms are cooling, begin sauteing the bacon in a separate skillet for the potatoes.) Add the merlot and cook for about 5 minutes. Meanwhile, in a separate small bowl, make a slurry with 1 tablespoon water and the cornstarch, then add the tomato paste and Dijon mustard and mix thoroughly until smooth. Add this mixture to the pan of mushrooms along with demi-glace and parsley. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Turn heat down to medium low, and allow to reduce and thicken.
• While the mushrooms are cooking, heat the oil in the deep-fryer to 375 degrees F or according the manufacturer's instructions for potatoes. Saute the bacon strips in a skillet until crispy. Remove to paper towels to drain and cool to room temperature. Drain excess bacon fat from the skillet leaving a coating in which to saute the onion. Cook until the onion becomes translucent. Deep-fry the baby potato slices until golden and drain on paper towels. Transfer them to the pan of onions, and crumble in the bacon. Toss in the scallions and season with salt and pepper. Cover and keep warm.
• Heat the oven to 375 degrees F for the steak, if you are finishing in the oven.
• In a large saute pan, heat the chicken stock over medium-high heat. Add the basil, tarragon and parsley, bring to a boil to integrate flavors, then reduce heat. This is your poaching liquid. Season the chicken breasts generously on both sides with salt and pepper, rubbing the seasoning in, and place the chicken in simmering poaching liquid. (Remember, you are poaching, not boiling. The liquid should be kept at a simmer.) Poach chicken until cooked through, about 10 minutes, turning breasts midway through cooking period. Remove to paper towels to drain.
• Heat olive oil over medium-high heat in a skillet with oven-safe handles. Season the steaks with walt and pepper. Sear for about 2 minutes per side undisturbed (to let seasonings integrate into the surface of the meat) and then to your preferred level of doneness. Transfer the entire skillet to the oven to finish (about 10 minutes for medium-rare) They can also be cooked on a grill. Let steaks rest, then slice into 1/4- inch thick slices.
• On half of the serving plate, spoon some basmati rice, top with a piece of chicken, and spoon olive salsa over chicken. On the other half of the serving plate, spoon some potatoes, top with a "fan" of steak slices (about 3 ounces of steak or an amount equal to half of a strip steak, per person) and drizzle sauce over sliced steak. Garnish the plate with haricots verts.
