Balsamic And Rosemary Marinated Florentine Steak Recipes

BISTECCA ALLA FLORENTINE WITH BALSAMIC-ROSEMARY STEAK SAUCE AND GRILLED TREVISO WITH GORGONZOLA

Steps:

• Whisk together the oils, garlic and rosemary in a large baking dish. Add the steaks and turn to coat in the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour and up to 12 hours. Remove the steaks from the refrigerator 30 minutes before grilling and let sit at room temperature.
• Heat a grill to high heat for direct grilling. Add the soaked wood chips to the charcoal or put the wood chips in a smoker box and add to a gas grill. Close the lid and let heat for 5 minutes. Remove the steaks from the marinade and pat dry. Sprinkle both sides liberally with the salt and pepper. Grill until charred on both sides and cooked to medium-rare doneness, 5 to 6 minutes per side. Remove from the grill, drizzle with a little of the Balsamic-Rosemary Steak Sauce and let rest 5 minutes before slicing.
• While steaks are grilling, brush the Treviso with canola oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill until slightly charred on all sides and just beginning to wilt. Transfer to a platter, fan out the leaves, drizzle with a little balsamic, extra-virgin olive oil and crumble over the gorgonzola. Top with slices of the steak and drizzle with more steak sauce. Garnish with parsley leaves.
• Combine the balsamic vinegar, garlic and rosemary in a small saucepan and cook over high heat until reduced by half, about 10 minutes. Remove the rosemary and let cool to room temperature.
• Place the peppers, honey, horseradish, molasses, red wine vinegar, Worcestershire sauce and some of the cooled balsamic mixture in a blender. Blend until smooth. Season with the salt and pepper. Taste, and add more of the balsamic reduction as desired.
• Yield: 3 cups.
