Seared Steak With Roasted Mushrooms And Spinach Salad Food

PAN-SEARED STEAK

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400. Heat oil in a large cast-iron or other ovenproof skillet (not a nonstick) over medium-high until it begins to smoke. Pat steak dry with paper towels. Season each side with 1 teaspoon coarse salt and 1 teaspoon cracked pepper.
• Cook steak in skillet over medium-high heat until a dark crust has formed, 5 to 7 minutes per side (reduce heat if meat is browning too quickly). Holding steak with tongs, quickly brown all edges, turning as necessary; lay steak flat in skillet.
• Transfer skillet to oven. Roast until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part of steak registers desired doneness, 5 to 15 minutes. Transfer to a plate; spread with 1 tablespoon Steak Butter. Cover loosely with aluminum foil, and let rest 5 to 10 minutes (temperature will then rise another 5 to 10 degrees). Slice across the grain; serve with remaining Steak Butter. Cover and refrigerate any leftovers, up to 2 days.

SPINACH SALAD WITH SEARED SHIITAKE MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Mix together the vinegar and lemon juice with the garlic, salt, pepper, and Dijon mustard using a fork or a small whisk. Whisk in the olive oil and the yogurt or buttermilk if using. Set aside.
• Combine the spinach, nuts, celery, and goat cheese in a salad bowl.
• Heat a pan over medium high heat. Add 1 teaspoon oil and when very hot, add the mushrooms. Shake the pan once, then let the mushrooms cook without moving them around until they begin to sweat and soften (watch closely). After about a minute or two, when they have begun to sear and release moisture, you can move them around in the pan. Cook for about 5 minutes, season to taste with salt and pepper and remove from the heat. Add to the spinach mixture and toss with the dressing. Serve at once.

SMOTHERED ROUND STEAK

Steps:

• In a 3-qt. slow cooker, toss beef with flour, salt and pepper. Stir in all remaining ingredients except noodles., Cook, covered, on low until meat is tender, 6-8 hours. If desired, serve with noodles.

STEAK AND SPINACH SALAD

Steps:

• Arrange spinach on a large plate. Sprinkle with cranberries and walnuts, and arrange tomato slices on top. Set aside.
• In a non-stick skillet (or a regular skillet coated with non-stick spray) cook steak over medium heat until no pink remains and steak is thoroughly cooked.
• Arrange cooked steak over salad. Sprinkle salt and pepper on top, and drizzle with your favorite dressing. Note: I suggest using a light flavored dressing. Citrus dressings taste especially good on this salad!

WARM STEAK-AND-MUSHROOM SALAD

Steps:

• Heat a large heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat. Sprinkle steak with 1 teaspoon of the salt and 1/2 teaspoon of the pepper; place in skillet and cook 8 minutes, turning half-way through, for medium-rare. Remove from skillet and keep warm.
• Add oil to skillet and cook mushrooms 3 minutes; remove from skillet and keep warm.
• Raise heat to high; add broth, wine, and garlic and cook until reduced to 1/2 cup, 10 minutes. Stir in remaining salt and pepper.
• Remove 4 tablespoons of broth mixture and toss with spinach in a large bowl; divide spinach among four plates.
• Top with sliced steak and mushrooms; drizzle with remaining broth mixture.

FLAT IRON STEAK AND SPINACH SALAD

Steps:

• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat; lightly oil the grate.
• Season the flat iron steak on both sides with salt and pepper. Cook to desired degree of doneness on preheated grill, about 5 minutes per side for medium-rare. Let rest in a warm area while proceeding with the recipe.
• Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Stir in the onion, and cook until it begins to soften, about 4 minutes. Pour in the Italian salad dressing, and bring to a boil, then stir in the red peppers and mushrooms. Reduce heat to medium, and cook until the peppers are tender, about 5 minutes.
• Remove the vegetables from the skillet with a slotted spoon, and set aside. Increase the heat to medium-high, and add the red wine. Simmer the salad dressing and wine until it has reduced to a syrupy sauce, about 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, divide the spinach leaves onto serving plates. Thinly slice the flat iron steak across the grain. Spoon the warm, cooked vegetable mixture over the spinach leaves, then place the sliced steak on top. Spoon on the reduced red wine sauce, and finally, sprinkle with blue cheese.
