Blade Steaks With Lemon Herb Sauce Recipes

FLANK STEAK WITH LEMON-LIME HERB SAUCE

Steps:

• Remove the flank steak from the refrigerator 30 minutes prior to cooking to bring it to room temperature.
• In a medium bowl, add the scallions, chives, olive oil, basil, parsley, lemon zest, lemon juice, lime zest, lime juice, mustard, red pepper flakes and 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt. Stir to combine and set aside.
• Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Drizzle a small amount of olive oil onto one side of the steak and use a silicone brush to spread it all over the steak. Sprinkle with a nice pinch of kosher salt and pepper. Transfer the meat to the grill pan, seasoning side down. Drizzle the other side of the steak with a small amount of olive oil and once again brush it to cover and sprinkle with salt and pepper. For medium-rare, cook the steak until the internal temperature is 135 degrees F, 4 to 5 minutes per side. Remove the steak to a plate and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
• Slice the steak against the grain. Add the slices to a platter and spoon on the lemon-lime herb sauce. Serve extra sauce on the side.

CHUCK BLADE STEAKS WITH HERB WINE SAUCE

Steps:

• Pat steaks dry and sprinkle both sides with salt and pepper.
• Heat 1 tablespoon butter and oil in a 12-inch heavy skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then sauté steaks 3 minutes per side for medium. Transfer steaks with tongs to a plate and keep warm, loosely covered.
• Add remaining 2 tablespoons butter to skillet and cook shallot over moderate heat, stirring, until softened, about 2 minutes. Remove skillet from heat and carefully add wine and any meat juices that have accumulated on plate with steaks. Simmer until reduced by half, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in herbs and salt and pepper to taste.
• Serve steaks with sauce poured over.

GRILLED STEAK AND VEGETABLES WITH LEMON-HERB BUTTER

Steps:

• Preheat a grill to medium high. Combine the steak, red onion and zucchini in a large bowl. Add the barbecue sauce, chili powder, Worcestershire sauce, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and pepper to taste; toss to coat. Let stand 5 minutes. Meanwhile, mash the butter with the parsley, lemon zest and a pinch of salt in a small bowl; set aside. Transfer the steak to the grill and cook 4 to 5 minutes per side for medium rare; remove to a cutting board and let rest. Add the vegetables to the grill and cook, turning occasionally, until crisp-tender and charred in spots, about 8 minutes. Cut the steak into 4 pieces. Top each piece with some of the lemon-herb butter. Serve with the grilled vegetables.

BLADE STEAKS WITH LEMON HERB SAUCE

Steps:

• Pat steaks dry and cut 3 slits (1 inch long and 1/4 inch deep) 1 inch apart across center cartilage of each steak (to keep from curling), then sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.
• Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a 12-inch heavy skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then cook steaks, turning over once, until meat is just medium-rare, 4 to 7 minutes total.
• While steaks cook, pulse herbs with zest, lemon juice, garlic, and remaining 1/4 cup oil, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a food processor until finely chopped.
• Transfer steaks to a platter and let stand, loosely covered with foil, 5 minutes, then serve with sauce.
