South Beach Grilled Rosemary Steak Food

GRILLED STEAK WITH ROSEMARY AND GARLIC

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine the rosemary leaves, garlic, crushed red pepper and enough olive oil to make a loose paste. Slather the steaks with the mixture and sprinkle them generously with salt. Let the steaks hang out outside the fridge to come to room temperature.
• Preheat the grill to medium-high. Use a wire grill brush to loosen any crud and soot. Wipe the grill down with an oiled side towel to pick up any bits of loosened crud.
• Put the steaks on a hot spot on the grill to get a great sear and really create BROWN FOOD! Once both sides of the steak are really nice and brown, move the steak to a cooler part of the grill to allow the steaks to cook to desired temperature. About 5 to 6 minutes on each side for medium-rare.
• Remove the steaks from the grill and let rest for 5 to 10 minutes.
• Cut the steak off the bone, slice across the grain and divide among 4 serving plates. Drizzle the steak with a little big fat finishing oil and a sprinkling of sea salt.

GRILLED ROSEMARY STEAKS

Steps:

• For the steaks: In a baking dish, sprinkle the steaks on both sides with the salt and pepper and drizzle with the oil. Place the rosemary in the dish and allow to marinate on the counter at room temperature for 1 hour, turning the steaks halfway through to infuse all over with rosemary.
• For the rosemary butter: In a saucepan over medium-low heat, add the butter and salt. Stir to melt the butter and dissolve the salt, then add the rosemary. Continue cooking on low until the butter is fragrant from the rosemary, 10 to 12 minutes. Remove the rosemary and discard.
• Preheat a grill or grill pan to high heat. Remove the steaks from the baking dish, discard the rosemary and place the steaks directly on the grill. Cook for about 5 minutes on both sides for medium-rare. Remove from the grill and allow to rest under loosely fitted aluminum foil for 10 minutes.
• Using the direction of the muscles as a guide, thinly slice the meat against the grain into strips and place on a serving dish. Pour the infused butter over the meat and serve.

SUNNY'S SMOKY ROSEMARY GRILLED STEAK

Steps:

• For the steaks: On a plate, sprinkle the steaks on both sides with salt and pepper, and drizzle with the olive oil. Lay out enough plastic wrap to cover each steak. Tightly wrap the steaks individually with a piece of rosemary on both sides of each steak. Rest at room temperature 2 hours.
• For the butter: In the meantime, in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat, melt the butter together with the paprika and 1 teaspoon salt. Stir to dissolve the salt, then add the rosemary and garlic. Continue cooking on low until the butter is fragrant, 10 to 12 minutes. If the butter begins to brown, turn the heat down. Remove from the heat, discard the rosemary and skim off any foam. Pour into a container and refrigerate until solid.
• Preheat a grill or grill pan to high heat. Remove the steaks from the plastic wrap and discard the rosemary. Place the steaks on the grill and cook until the internal temperature reaches 125 degrees F, about 5 minutes per side. Transfer the steaks to a serving platter and top each with a generous scoop of the compound butter. Loosely cover the steaks with a foil tent and allow to rest for 10 minutes, so the carryover cooking brings the final internal temperature up to 130 degrees F (medium rare, closer to rare) before serving.

GRILLED SALMON WITH ROSEMARY (SOUTH BEACH PHASE I)

Steps:

• Cut the fish into 4 equal-size portions. Combine the olive oil, lemon juice, salt, pepper, garlic, and rosemary in a bowl. Brush the mixture onto the fish.
• To grill, arrange the fish on a grill rack or use a grill basket sprayed with olive oil cooking spray. Grill over medium-hot coals until the fish flakes easily (allow 4-6 minutes per 1/2" of thickness). If the fish is more than 1" thick, gently turn it halfway through grilling.
• To broil, spray the rack of a broiler pan with olive oil cooking spray and arrange the fish on it. Broil 4" from the heat for 4-6 minutes per 1/2" thickness. If the fish is more than 1" thick, gently turn it through broiling.
• To serve, top the fish with capers, if using, and garnish with rosemary sprigs, if desired.
