Steak And Pan Seared Tomatoes Food

STEAK PASTA

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to a boil and generously season with salt. Add pasta and cook to al dente, according to package instructions.
• Add 2 tablespoons of oil to a large, skillet (preferably cast iron) over medium-high heat and allow to come to temperature.
• Pat the steak dry with paper towels, then rub it with 1 tablespoon of oil and season 1 1/2 teaspoon Kosher salt and a 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Rub all over to adhere. Sear the steak for 5 minutes on the first side, turn, and sear for 5 minutes more. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
• Add the remaining tablespoon of oil to the pan, followed by the onion, and sauté until softened, about 4 minutes. Stir in garlic and sundried tomatoes, and sauté for about 1 minute more.
• Sprinkle flour over vegetables and stir until the mixture looks pasty. Very slowly, stream in the warmed milk and stir until no lumps remain. Reduce the heat to maintain a simmer and allow to lightly simmer for 5 minutes, until the sauce has thickened slightly.
• Add the cheese, along with 1 teaspoon Kosher salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, and the red pepper flakes. Stir until cheese is melted. Then, add the spinach in three additions, stirring just until wilted.
• Slice the beef into thin strips cutting against the grain, and cut into bite-sized pieces, if desired. Add steak to the sauce, serve over your favorite pasta, and enjoy!

PAN SEARED TOMATOES WITH MELTED MOZZARELLA

Steps:

• Cut beefsteak tomatoes to 1 inch thick slices. If using Roma tomatoes, just cut in half.
• Heat oil in a pan, sprinkle 1-2 pinch sugar on one cut side of tomato and place in pan. Sprinkle salt and pepper on the other side. Let it sear in pan till bottom is caramelized.
• Turn the tomato upside down and sprinkle salt, pepper and cheese on the caramelized side.
• Cover the pan with lid and cook till cheese starts to melt. Garnish with fresh chopped basil and serve hot.

STEAK AND PAN SEARED TOMATOES

Steps:

• Lay steak on a cutting board or other hard surface and season on one side with salt and pepper to taste, optional cumin, and/or optional onion powder. Pound with pointy side of mallet to tenderize. Set aside while mincing and slicing veggies. Combine cornstarch with Adobo seasoning or seasoned salt and dried oregano.
• In a large cast iron skillet heat 1 teaspoon oil and 1 teaspoon butter over medium high heat. Brown steak about 2 minutes, each side. This probably has to be repeated for other steak. Remove and keep warm on a plate covered with aluminum foil.
• Add a teaspoon of oil to pan if it is dry and turn heat up a little to medium high. Dredge tomatoes with cornstarch mixture; this will form a light crust on the tomatoes when cooked. Once crust forms, turn over. This will only take a minute or two. Remove and set aside.
• Turn heat down to medium and add 1 teaspoon oil and 1 teaspoon butter. Once butter melts, add onions and mushrooms. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Saute, stirring occasionally until onions and mushrooms are tender, about 3 minutes. Add wine and reduce by half. Taste and adjust seasonings.
• Serve steak with tomato and mushroom sauce over top.

SEARED RIB EYE, TOMATO PAN SAUCE

Steps:

• For the sauce: In a saute pan, add the tomatoes, barbeque sauce, cranberry juice and celery seeds. Warm over medium-low heat to blend the flavors, about 5 minutes. Once warmed, remove from the heat, and the Worcestershire sauce and puree in a blender, with the vent removed, until smooth. Then return to the pan and bring to a simmer over medium-low heat. Once simmering, remove from the heat and whisk in some butter. Hold warm in the pan until serving.
• For the steaks: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the oil until hot, 2 to 3 minutes. Then add the onions and seasoning blend, stirring with a wooden spoon until the onions are translucent and slightly browned on the edges, 8 to 10 minutes. After caramelizing the onions, sprinkle the steaks with salt and pepper on both sides. Then add to the skillet and sear on both sides, 5 to 6 minutes.
• Once seared, remove the onions from the skillet and finish the steaks in the oven to desired temperature. They will be medium-rare to medium with oven cooking. Once the steaks are finished, sauce each plate with 1 to 2 ounces of sauce. Place steaks in center and finish with the onions.

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.
