Sunnys Smoky Rosemary Grilled Steak Food

SUNNY'S GRILLED STEAK SUPREME

Steps:

• For the steak: Prepare a grill for medium-high heat.
• Season the steak generously on all sides with salt, pepper and either olive oil or canola oil. Add the steak to the grill and cook until it releases from the grill, about 5 minutes. Flip and cook until desired doneness, another 3 to 4 minutes for 120 to 125 degrees F. Remove to a plate, sprinkle evenly with the Parmesan and cover loosely with aluminum foil. Rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
• For the topping: In a large pan on medium heat, add 2 tablespoons olive oil and the bacon. Cook, stirring, until the bacon is crisp, about 5 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon to a paper towel-lined plate. Add the mushrooms to the pan and cook until wilted and tender, 3 to 5 minutes. Season the mushrooms with salt and pepper, remove with a slotted spoon to a large bowl and add the reserved bacon to the bowl. If more oil is needed in the pan, add a tablespoon, then add the onions. Cook, without stirring, until the onions begin to char. Stir the onions and continue to cook until tender, 5 to 8 minutes. Remove to the bowl. Add a little oil to the pan, then add the bell peppers and Italian seasoning and stir to combine. Cook until slightly tender, 3 to 5 minutes, then remove to the bowl. Add the tomatoes and red chile flakes to the pan and cook until the tomatoes begin to burst, 5 to 8 minutes. Transfer to the bowl as well. Toss the mixture together with the basil and serve on top of the sliced steak.

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.

GRILLED FLANK STEAK WITH SHALLOT-GARLIC-ROSEMARY MARINADE

Steps:

• Marinade: Combine the shallot, garlic, olive oil and rosemary in a food processor. (roughly chop the ingredients before as the food processor will leave uneven chunks).
• Poke about 20 holes in the steak with a fork and repeat on the other side.
• Sprinikle the steak on both sides with 2 tsp kosher salt (or 1 tsp of table salt) Spread the marinade on both sides of the steak and refrigerate for 1 - 24 hours.
• Heat grill for about 10 minutes. Clean and re-season the grill with olive oil.
• With a papertowel, remove as much of the marinade as possible. (otherwise the garlic, shallot and rosemary would burn). Grind some fresh pepper over the steak.
• Sear 4 - 6 minutes on the first side. Turn and cook 3 - 4 minutes on the other side. Watch carefully as it can burn quite easily. With a paring knife, cut a small slit in the middle and check for doneness. Move to a cooler part of the grill and continue until rare.
• Remove from the grill while still pink -- cover with tinfoil and let sit for 5 minutes. (the steak will continue cooking while in the resting stage.
• Cut the steak across the grain.
