Steak And Guacamole Buns Food

STEAK AND GUACAMOLE BUNS

Steps:

• For the guacamole: In a medium bowl, mash together the avocado, lemon juice and salt with the back of a fork. Set aside.
• For the sandwiches: Split the potato buns. Place a slice of smoked mozzarella on the bottom of each bun. Divide the avocado spread among the bun tops.
• Preheat a grill pan over high heat. Meanwhile, place a piece of plastic wrap over the beef fillets and pound them to about 1/6-inch thick. Sprinkle the fillets evenly with the cumin and salt, then drizzle with the oil. Place the fillets on the hot grill pan and cook until deep brown grill marks form, about 2 minutes. Flip and continue to cook for an additional minute, until just cooked through.
• Transfer the hot fillets to the buns. Top with a few leaves of arugula and cover with the bun tops.

STEAK BUNS WITH PEANUT SAUCE

Steps:

• For the meat and marinade: Combine the sambal, honey, curry powder, salt, black pepper, garlic and approximately two-thirds of the coconut milk (make sure you SHAKE WELL before opening the can) in a bowl and whisk together (reserve the remaining coconut milk for the peanut sauce). Submerge the flank steak in the marinade, cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours and up to overnight.
• For the bun dough: In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook, combine the all-purpose flour, cake flour, sugar, yeast and salt and whisk to combine. Add the water and shortening and mix for 10 minutes. Transfer to an oiled bowl and let sit until doubled in size, 1 to 2 hours.
• Cut eight 3-inch squares of parchment paper. Divide the dough into 8 pieces. Roll each piece into a flat oval, about 6 inches by 3 inches. Brush with sesame oil, fold in half and place on a parchment square. Set the buns in a bamboo steamer 1 inch apart, cover and allow the buns to proof in the steamer in a warm place (or just on the countertop), until doubled in size, 30 to 40 minutes.
• For the peanut sauce: Meanwhile, combine the reserved coconut milk, peanut butter, sambal, jalapeno and soy sauce and whisk until smooth. If the sauce is too thick, add a splash of water. Reserve at room temperature until serving. (If you make it ahead of time, refrigerate the sauce but take out in time for it to come to room temperature before serving, or it will be very thick.)
• Heat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
• Remove the meat from the marinade and brush off any excess. When the grill is very hot, grill the meat to desired doneness, 4 to 8 minutes on each side is good for medium rare, depending on thickness. Let rest for at least 10 minutes so the juices can settle.
• Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Steam the buns over the boiling water until puffy and cooked through, 10 to 12 minutes.
• Slice the meat thinly against the grain. Serve the buns right out of the steamer with the sliced meat, peanut sauce, pickles, extra sambal, cilantro and salt to taste.

SEARED TUNA & AVOCADO ROLLS

Steps:

• Heat a medium (10 to 11-inch) dry cast-iron skillet over high heat for 3 minutes. Brush the tuna all over with olive oil and sprinkle it generously with salt and black pepper. Sear the tuna in the skillet for exactly one minute on each side. (The inside will be raw.) Transfer to a cutting board, cut into 1/2 to 3/4-inch dice, and set aside.
• In a large bowl, combine 1/4 cup olive oil, the lime zest, lime juice, soy sauce, Tabasco, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, and 1 teaspoon black pepper. Add the tuna, scallions, and jalapeño. Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, peel, and cut 1/2 to 3/4-inch dice. Carefully stir the avocado into the tuna mixture and set aside for 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, combine the shallot and vinegar in a small bowl and set aside.
• Place the butter in a large (12-inch) sauté pan over medium-high heat and heat until the butter sizzles. Without opening the buns, toast them on each side for one minute, until nicely browned. Line the buns up on a platter, cut sides up, and spoon the tuna mixture into the buns. Drizzle with the Chipotle Mayonnaise and sprinkle on the pickled shallots. Serve while the buns are warm.
• Place the mayonnaise, chipotle pepper, adobo sauce, lime juice, and 1 1/4 teaspoons salt in the bowl of a food processor fitted with the steel blade. Process until smooth. Refrigerate for up to a week.

ORANGE STICKY BUNS

Steps:

• For the orange glaze: Grease a 9-inch round cake pan with nonstick cooking spray.
• In a small saucepan, combine the brown sugar, butter, orange juice, honey and salt and bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring gently to dissolve the sugar. Reduce the heat to medium and cook, stirring occasionally, until the glaze thickens and coats the back of a spoon, about 7 minutes. Pour the glaze into the cake pan and set aside.
• For the orange roll filling: In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, orange zest, cinnamon, salt and cloves. Pour over the butter and use a fork to stir the mixture until it resembles wet sand. Set the filling aside while you make the dough.
• For the orange roll dough: Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt. In a medium bowl, whisk together the buttermilk and melted butter. Add the buttermilk mixture to the flour mixture and stir with a wooden spoon or spatula until a shaggy dough forms.
• Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead gently until smooth, 3 to 4 minutes. Roll the dough out into a 12-by-9-inch rectangle. Spread the reserved filling evenly over the dough, leaving a 1/2-inch border around the edges. Starting at one long end, gently roll the dough into a log and pinch the seam. Slice the log into 8 even pieces and place the rolls cut-side down onto the glaze in the cake pan.
• Bake until the rolls are golden and the filling is dark and bubbly, 25 to 30 minutes. Cool the rolls in the pan for 5 minutes, then turn them out onto a platter, spreading any leftover glaze from the pan over the top of the rolls. Allow to cool slightly before serving.

BEST EVER CHUNKY GUACAMOLE

Steps:

• Use a large knife to pulverise 1 large ripe tomato to a pulp on a board, then tip into a bowl.
• Halve and stone the 3 avocados (saving a stone) and use a spoon to scoop out the flesh into the bowl with the tomato.
• Tip the juice of 1 large lime, a handful of roughly chopped coriander, 1 finely chopped small red onion and 1 deseeded and finely chopped red or green chilli into the bowl, then season with salt and pepper.
• Use a whisk to roughly mash everything together. If not serving straight away, sit a stone in the guacamole (this helps to stop it going brown), cover with cling film and chill until needed.
