Flank Steak Roulade Over Arugula And Sweet And Sour Onions Recipes

FLANK STEAK ROULADE OVER ARUGULA AND SWEET AND SOUR ONIONS

Steps:

• For the roulade: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Coat the portobello mushrooms in oil, salt and black pepper and place on a sheet pan. Roast in the oven for 15 minutes or until fully cooked. Chill and thinly slice.
• Working on a cutting board, spread out a piece of the sliced flank steak. Place a thin line of spinach across the edge of the flank meat. Repeat with the sliced portobello mushrooms and sweet and sour onions. Firmly roll the ingredients up in the flank steak. Secure with a toothpick. Repeat until all the flank meat is stuffed and rolled. Coat a large saute pan with cooking oil and place over high heat. Season each flank steak roulade with salt and pepper. Sear each roulade in the pan by placing the seam side down to ensure closure. Cook until browned on all sides and cooked to desired doneness, about 6 minutes. Slice each roulade on the bias into 1-inch pieces. Serve over arugula and sweet and sour red onions.
• For the onions: In a saute pan over medium heat, add the cooking oil and sliced onions. Cook for a few moments while stirring, until the onions start to turn translucent. Add the sugar and salt and continue to cook until onions begin to soften, but are still firm to the touch. Add the red wine vinegar and cook until almost all the vinegar has been reduced. Turn the onions out on to a sheet pan to cool.

STEAK ROULADE WITH PROVOLONE

Steps:

• Combine 2 cups hot water and the tomato paste in a 6-quart slow cooker. Add the crushed tomatoes, red pepper flakes, sugar and basil and stir to combine. Cover and cook on high while you prepare the meat.
• Butterfly the steak: Slice in half horizontally, leaving 1 long side attached so you can open the steak like a book. Place between 2 pieces of plastic wrap and pound until about 1/4 inch thick. Remove the plastic; season the steak with salt and pepper. Scatter the provolone evenly over the steak, then top with the garlic, breadcrumbs, pecorino, raisins, pine nuts and parsley.
• Starting with a long side, tightly roll up the steak like a jelly roll. Secure with twine in several spots. Transfer to the slow cooker; reduce the heat to low, cover and cook 7 hours.
• Remove the meat to a cutting board and let rest 5 minutes. Remove the twine, then slice 1 inch thick. Serve with polenta; top with more sauce from the slow cooker.

SWEET-AND-SOUR ONIONS

Steps:

• Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add 1 each sliced Vidalia onion and red onion; cook, stirring, until soft, about 15 minutes. Add 1/4 cup ketchup, 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar, 2 teaspoons sugar, 1/2 teaspoon hot sauce, and salt and pepper to taste and heat through, 2 to 3 more minutes. Stir in 3 chopped scallions.

TATANKA ROULADE

Steps:

• Tenderize steaks, if necessary, by pounding. Using a clean dish for preparation, divide mustard and spread on top of each steak. Divide mushrooms and peppers evenly on top of each steak. Roll up each steak, enclosing the peppers, and wrap each roll with 1 slice of bacon. Repeat procedure with remaining 5 steak rolls. Secure with string or a skewer. Lightly season with blended seasoning mixture.
• In a Dutch oven over medium-high heat, cook the remaining 2 strips of bacon; add onion and cook until tender. Add the steaks and brown lightly on all sides. Add hot beef broth and reduce the heat. Braise the steaks until an instant-read thermometer registers an internal temperature of 140 degrees F.
• Remove the steaks from the Dutch oven. Add the flour to the reduced stock and whisk to make a brown sauce. Return steak rolls to Dutch oven and keep warm until serving time. Internal temperature at serving time may be 160 degrees F.
• To serve: remove string or skewer. Cut steak diagonally to show colors of peppers and mushrooms. Drizzle sauce over top.

SWEET AND SPICY GRILLED FLANK STEAK

Steps:

• In a food processor, pulse together scallion, ginger, jalapeño, garlic, sugar, lime zest and juice, and sriracha. With the motor running, pour in oil until smooth.
• Season steak with salt. Place in a large bowl and pour marinade over meat. Turn to coat well with the mixture. Cover tightly and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
• When you are ready to cook the steak, heat the grill to medium-high heat, or heat the broiler with the rack set 4 inches from the heat source. Transfer meat to the grill and cook, covered, until it reaches the desired doneness (about 5 minutes per side for medium-rare), or broil until charred and done to taste, 4 to 6 minutes per side. Let rest on a cutting board for 5 minutes, then slice thinly.
