ITALIAN BBQ CUBE STEAK (RACHEL RAY)

Steps:

• Place a large skillet over medium-high heat with 2 turns of the pan of EVOO, about 2 tablespoons. Season the steaks with salt and pepper, and sear in the pan (working in batches if need be) until the steaks have a nice crust on the outside, about 3 minutes per side.
• Remove the cooked steaks from the skillet and reserve warm on a plate. Return the skillet to medium-high heat and add the pancetta or bacon, if using. Cook until golden brown and crispy, about 5 minutes.
• Add the onion and garlic to the pan, and cook until tender, about 5 minutes. Add the balsamic vinegar, brown sugar, Worcestershire and tomato sauce to the pan, season with salt and pepper, and bring up to a bubble. Reduce the heat to medium and simmer the sauce until lightly thickened, 3-4 minutes.
• Serve the steaks with a hearty pour of the Italian BBQ sauce and a fresh green salad alongside.

Add shallots and garlic to mushrooms with salt and pepper and thyme; stir, add Marsala and let it evaporate.

COOKING A STEAK

Steps:

• Remove meat from refrigeration 20 to 30 minutes before cooking, if possible. The larger the piece of meat, the more time it will need to rest at room temp.
• Preheat your pan or cooking surface over high heat. For steaks over 1 inch thick or on the bone, preheat oven with rack at center to 375 degrees F.
• Oil the meat, not the pan. Use olive oil (not EVOO) or neutral oil (light in color and flavor and suitable for cooking at a high-temp) and oil the meat, then season and place on hot cooking surface. Do not move for 2 to 3 minutes to develop the sugars, color, crust and flavor.
• Brown the steaks about 3 minutes per side to develop crust and color before transferring them to the oven (if using). Brown the fat of any steak as well before transferring. Steaks 1 inch thick or quick-cooking steaks, such as any "flat steaks," cook in about 8 minutes, turning occasionally for medium-rare to medium doneness (see Cook's Note). Skirt steaks will cook in just 6 to 7 minutes.
• When the steaks are just about to temperature, add butter, garlic and herbs to pan and spoon over steak to baste. Remove meat from the pan or grill 5 degrees before the desired temperature of the steak, as it will continue to cook as it rests due to carry-over cooking. Let the meat rest for 5 to 10 minutes to allow the juices to settle back into the meat before slicing.

• In small bowl, combine all ingedients except steak.
• In plastic bag pour 3/4 cup marinade over steak. Refrigerate remaining marinade. Cover or close bag, and marinate in refrigerator, turning occasionally for 3 to 24 hours.
• Remove steaks from marinade, discarding marinade.
• Grill or broil steak, turning once, and brushing frequently with reserved marinade, until steak is desired doneness.
• Note: Prep and cooking time does not include marinade time.
