Grilled Steak With Potatoes Radicchio And Caper Anchovy Sauce Recipes

GRILLED STEAK WITH ANCHOVY COMPOUND BUTTER

Steps:

• Combine the softened butter with the anchovies, garlic, herbs, lemon zest, salt and pepper. Mix well and set aside.
• Combine the olive oil, Balsamic vinegar, salt and pepper and pour over the steaks. Make sure the steak is well-covered on both sides then cover and allow to marinade for at least 30 minutes or up to 24 hours in the fridge. Remove the steak from the fridge an hour before cooking.
• Preheat your grill for 10-15 minutes then cook the steaks to your preference. 2-3 minutes per side for rare. 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare to medium. 5-6 minutes per side for well done.
• Remove the steak from the heat and place on a plate or board. Loosely cover with foil and allow to rest for 5-10 minutes.
• Serve the steak with dollops of the compound butter.

POTATO SALAD WITH CAPERS AND ANCHOVIES

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of well-salted water to a boil. Add the potatoes and cook at a brisk simmer until the potatoes are firm but easily pierced with a skewer, about 20 minutes. Remove and let cool slightly.
• While the potatoes are cooking, make the vinaigrette: In a small bowl, put the red onion, vinegar and a healthy pinch of salt. Stir together, then let sit for 10 minutes, so onion softens and pickles slightly. Add the garlic, anchovy, capers and mustard. Whisk in the olive oil. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
• When the potatoes are cool enough to handle, remove the skins with a paring knife. Carefully slice 1/4-inch thick, or slightly thicker. Put the slices in a wide, low bowl and season lightly with salt. Pour the vinaigrette over. Using your hands, gently coat the potato slices with the vinaigrette, taking care not to break them. Set aside at room temperature to let the salad absorb the dressing.
• Just before serving, add thyme leaves and parsley and gently toss the potato slices again. (Some of the vinaigrette will have settled to the bottom of the bowl.) Garnish with halved or quartered hard-cooked egg and arugula leaves, if using.

GRILLED VEAL CHOPS AND RADICCHIO WITH LEMON-CAPER SAUCE

Steps:

• Whisk 3 tablespoons olive oil and next 5 ingredients in small bowl to blend. Season sauce to taste with salt and pepper. DO AHEAD Can be made 2 hours ahead. Let stand at room temperature.
• Prepare barbecue (medium-high heat) or heat heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Brush veal chops with remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place veal chops on grill or in skillet and cook to desired doneness, about 6 minutes per side for medium. Transfer to platter. Brush radicchio lightly with some of sauce. Place leaves on grill or in batches in skillet and cook just until slightly wilted but not brown, pressing lightly to flatten, about 45 seconds to 1 minute per side.
• Divide radicchio and veal chops between plates. Spoon sauce over and serve.

STEAK WITH ANCHOVY GARLIC BUTTER

Steps:

• Mince garlic and mash to a paste with a pinch of salt using a large heavy knife. Mash together butter, anchovy paste, lemon juice, garlic paste, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper until combined well. Stir in parsley.
• Pat steaks dry and sprinkle with salt and remaining 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Heat oil in a 12-inch heavy skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking. Sauté steaks 1 at a time, turning once, about 8 minutes total for medium-rare. Transfer steaks to a cutting board and let stand 5 minutes before serving.
• Top steaks with a dollop of anchovy butter and slice.
