Jans Cowboy Steak With Tomato Relish Recipes

GRILLED CAULIFLOWER STEAK WITH TOMATO RELISH

Steps:

• Put the cauliflower slices in a large resealable plastic bag or baking dish. Dissolve 3 tablespoons kosher salt in 5 cups water and pour over the cauliflower. Set aside for 45 minutes.
• Meanwhile, simmer the vinegar, sugar, fennel seeds and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a small saucepan over medium heat for 5 minutes. Add the tomatoes and cook, stirring, until soft, about 2 minutes more. Set aside.
• Preheat an outdoor grill or grill pan over medium heat.
• Drain the cauliflower and pat dry. Brush with extra-virgin olive oil and grill, covered, until lightly charred and crisp-tender, about 6 minutes per side. Serve the tomato relish over the steaks.

BROILED FLANK STEAK WITH TOMATO-SCALLION RELISH

Steps:

• Position a broiler pan on the rack closest to the broiler and preheat to high. Rub the steak lightly with some olive oil and sprinkle with the herbes de Provence and salt and pepper, to taste. Put the whole tomatoes, scallions, and garlic cloves in a large bowl, drizzle with about 1 tablespoon of the olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste. Turn the vegetables until they are lightly coated.
• Carefully lay the steak in the center of the hot pan, arrange the vegetables around it, and broil until the steak is brown but still tender to the touch and the vegetables are charred, 5 to 6 minutes. Turn the steak and the vegetables and broil another 5 to 6 minutes, until the steak is medium rare (an instant-read thermometer inserted crosswise into the side of the steak registers 130 degrees F) and vegetables are charred. Transfer the steak and vegetables to a cutting board.
• For the relish: Core the tomatoes, squeeze the garlic cloves from their skins, and chop them both with the scallions to make a chunky relish. Transfer the vegetables and all their juices to a bowl and stir in the remaining 1/4 cup or so of the olive oil, the vinegar, and the Worcestershire sauce. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Slice the meat against the grain and on an angle, transfer to a plate or platter, and serve with the relish and toasted bread.

PORK TENDERLOIN STEAKS WITH ROASTED TOMATO RELISH

Steps:

• Position an oven rack 5-to-6-inches from the heat source and preheat the broiler. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil.
• Toss the garlic, tomatoes and scallions on the baking sheet with 1 tablespoon of the oil until coated and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Broil until the vegetables are charred, flipping them once, 10 to 12 minutes. Set aside to cool.
• Slice the pork tenderloin on the bias into 4 long "steaks" and sprinkle all over with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.
• Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until very hot but not smoking. Put the pork steaks in the skillet and cook, flipping once, until well browned and just a bit pink in the center, about 7 minutes per side. Turn the heat down to medium if the skillet starts to get too dark. Put each steak on a plate to rest.
• While the pork rests, core the tomatoes, squeeze the garlic cloves from their skins, and chop them both with the scallions to make a chunky relish. Transfer the vegetables and all their juices to a bowl and stir in the vinegar, Worcestershire sauce and remaining 1?4 cup oil. Season with salt and pepper. Serve the relish over the pork with crusty bread for soaking up the juices.
