Turkey Chopped Steak With Peas And Pickled Onions Food

STEAK AND FRIES WITH PICKLED ONIONS

Steps:

• For the pickled red onions:
• In a small saucepan, bring the vinegar and sugar to a boil over medium-high heat. Put the red onion slices in a small glass bowl and pour the hot liquid over them. Set aside to steep and cool for at least 1 hour.
• For the steak and fries:
• Put the steaks in a resealable plastic bag and pack the blue cheese around them. Push as much air as you can from the bag and zip it closed. Refrigerate the steaks for 12 hours or overnight.
• In a large skillet set over medium-high heat, melt 1 tablespoon of the butter and, when bubbling hot, sear the mushrooms until golden brown, 4 to 5 minutes. In a glass mixing bowl, stir together the vinegar, soy sauce, truffle oil, and ginger. Add the scallions and browned mushrooms. Stir to mix and coat the mushrooms with the marinade. Set aside at room temperature while you prepare the steaks.
• Remove the steaks from the bag and scrape off the blue cheese. Pat them dry with paper towels. Season both sides of the steaks with the garlic powder and salt and pepper and set them aside to come to room temperature.
• Preheat the oven to 400°F.
• Heat a large, heavy, oven-safe skillet-I like an old cast-iron pan with character-over medium-high heat and, when hot, melt the remaining 3 tablespoons butter. When the butter melts, add the smashed garlic, thyme, and rosemary. Stir these around a little, and then put the steaks in the pan. Cook the steaks for 3 minutes, and then turn over and cook for about 3 minutes on the other side, basting them with the melted butter as if you are in a race.
• Transfer the skillet to the oven and cook for a few minutes longer, or until an instant-read thermometer inserted in a thick part of a steak registers 130° to 135°F. I insist on medium-pink meat with a touch of gray on the inside, and then nicely caramelized but not crunchy on the outside.
• Let the meat rest for about 10 minutes. Slather more butter on the meat as it rests.
• Serve the steaks with the veggies and pickled red onions.
• Do Ahead
• The pickled onions and their brine will keep in a lidded container in the refrigerator for at least 2 weeks. (I prefer glass containers for pickles.)

ONION CHOPPED STEAK WITH EASY GRAVY

Steps:

• Combine the beef, bread crumbs, milk and onion soup mix in a large bowl and mix throughly with your hands. Shape into four 3 1/2 inch patties, each about 1/2 inch thick.
• Place an extra deep skillet over medium heat and add the meat patties. Cook, uncovered, for 5 minutes. Reduce the heat if the meat browns too quickly.
• Meanwhile, place the brown gravy mix in a 2 cup or larger measure. Add the amount of water called for on the envelope and whisk until well blended. Set aside.
• Turn the patties over, cover the skillet, and cook for 5 more minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary.
• Uncover the skillet, reduce the heat to low, add the prepared gravy mix. Coo until the gravy reaches the desired consistency and the patties are no longer pink in the center, about 5 more minutes. Serve at once or allow to simmer until ready to serve.

TURKEY THIGHS WITH PICKLED CRANBERRIES AND ONIONS FOR TWO

Steps:

• Finely grate 1/2 teaspoon zest from the lemon and put it in a small bowl with the garlic and thyme. Halve the lemon and squeeze 1 tablespoon of the juice into the bowl. Mix everything into a paste.
• Pat the turkey thighs dry and season with salt and pepper. Smear turkey with the paste and place thighs on a plate. Refrigerate, uncovered, so the skin can dry out, for at least 2 hours and up to 2 days.
• Meanwhile, squeeze the remaining juice from the lemon halves into a medium bowl. Add the onion, cranberries, lime juice, sugar and 1/4 teaspoon salt, tossing well. Let the mixture sit at room temperature, tossing occasionally, until the onions wilt and turn pink, 1 hour. Cover and refrigerate until serving. (These can be made up to 3 days in advance.)
• Heat oven to 375 degrees. Put turkey thighs on a baking pan and dot with butter. Roast the thighs for 40 to 50 minutes, until the skin is crisp, the meat is cooked through and the juices run clear. (No need to rest here.)
• Serve turkey with a little of the cranberries and pickles on top, with herbs scattered over everything.

TURKEY CHOPPED STEAK WITH PEAS AND PICKLED ONIONS

Steps:

• Preheat grill pan until very hot.
• Meanwhile season the turkey with salt and pepper and form into 4 oval shaped patties about 2/3 inch thick. Season patties again with salt and pepper if necessary. Coat each patty with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
• Grill the turkey patties for 2 ½ minutes per side or until just cooked through.
• Meanwhile, heat the Alfredo sauce in a large skillet over medium heat. When the sauce begins to simmer, add the onions, peas and mushrooms. Continue to simmer until all the vegetables are hot.
• To serve, arrange the turkey patties on plates and spoon the sauce and vegetables over top.
