Pan Seared Steak And Loaded Hash Browns For Two Food

PAN-SEARED STEAK AND LOADED HASH BROWNS FOR TWO

Steps:

• Season steak on both sides with grill seasoning. In 10-inch nonstick skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of the oil over medium-high heat. Cook steak in oil 7 to 10 minutes, turning once, until medium-rare to medium (145°F to 160°F). Transfer steak to cutting board, and keep warm. Wipe out skillet with paper towels.
• In medium bowl, mix hash browns, salt and 1/4 teaspoon of the pepper. Add 2 tablespoons of the oil to skillet; heat over medium heat. Pack mixture firmly in skillet, leaving 1/2-inch space around edge.
• Drizzle remaining 1 tablespoon oil evenly over hash browns. Cook 5 to 7 minutes or until bottom is brown. Using a heat-proof silicone spatula, cut hash browns in half; turn over carefully. Cook 5 to 7 minutes or until bottom is browned. Top with cheese, green onions and bacon.
• Meanwhile, in small bowl, mix softened butter, garlic and remaining 1/4 teaspoon pepper.
• Spread steak with butter mixture, and cut into 1/2-inch slices. Serve with hash browns.

PAN-SEARED STEAK WITH GARLIC BUTTER

Steps:

• Thoroughly pat steak dry with paper towels. Just before cooking, generously season with 1 1/2 tsp salt and 1 tsp black pepper
• Heat the cast iron pan until hot then add 1/2 Tbsp oil over medium-high heat, swirling to coat. Once the oil is very hot, add steaks to the skillet. Sear the steaks on the first side for 4 minutes until a brown crust has formed then flip and cook another 3-4 minutes. Using tongs, turn the steak on its sides to render the white fat and sear the edges (1-minute per edge).
• Reduce heat to medium and immediately add 2 Tbsp butter, quartered garlic cloves and rosemary to the pan. Spoon the butter sauce over the steak, tilting the pan to get butter on your spoon. Continue spooning the sauce over the steak for a minute or until the steak is about 5-10 degrees from your desired doneness (the temperature will continue to rise another 5-10 degrees while steaks rest).
• Transfer steak to a cutting board, loosely cover and rest 10 minutes before slicing into 1/2" strips to serve. Spoon extra butter sauce over sliced steak to serve.

• Heat a large, heavy skillet over high heat. Add the steaks and sear on one side, about 5 minutes. Turn and sear on the second side for 3 to 4 minutes for rare, 5 to 8 minutes for med. Serve hot.
