Pan Seared Steaks With Roasted Red Bell Pepper Recipes

PAN-SEARED STEAK WITH GARLIC BUTTER

Steps:

• Thoroughly pat steak dry with paper towels. Just before cooking, generously season with 1 1/2 tsp salt and 1 tsp black pepper
• Heat the cast iron pan until hot then add 1/2 Tbsp oil over medium-high heat, swirling to coat. Once the oil is very hot, add steaks to the skillet. Sear the steaks on the first side for 4 minutes until a brown crust has formed then flip and cook another 3-4 minutes. Using tongs, turn the steak on its sides to render the white fat and sear the edges (1-minute per edge).
• Reduce heat to medium and immediately add 2 Tbsp butter, quartered garlic cloves and rosemary to the pan. Spoon the butter sauce over the steak, tilting the pan to get butter on your spoon. Continue spooning the sauce over the steak for a minute or until the steak is about 5-10 degrees from your desired doneness (the temperature will continue to rise another 5-10 degrees while steaks rest).
• Transfer steak to a cutting board, loosely cover and rest 10 minutes before slicing into 1/2" strips to serve. Spoon extra butter sauce over sliced steak to serve.

PAN-SEARED STEAKS WITH ROASTED RED PEPPER SAUCE

Steps:

• Place a nonstick skillet coated with cooking spray over medium-high heat until hot. Add steaks; cook 2 - 3 minutes on each side, or until done.
• While steaks are cooking, place peppers and remaining 1/4 tsp salt in container of electric blender. Cover and process until smooth.
• Serve steaks with red pepper sauce.

GRILLED SKIRT STEAK HASH WITH ROASTED RED PEPPER HOLLANDAISE

Steps:

• For the dry rub: Combine the black pepper, brown sugar, salt, ancho chile powder, granulated garlic, instant espresso powder, ground oregano, onion powder and dry mustard powder in a small bowl and stir to combine thoroughly.
• Toss the asparagus with the olive oil, salt, and pepper.
• Press the dry rub into the steak and rub liberally on both sides. Preheat an oiled grill to medium-high heat. Cook the steak on one side until seared, about 8 minutes, then flip over. Add the asparagus to the grill. Cook the asparagus and steak until the asparagus is tender, about 10 minutes, and the steak reaches an internal temperature of 135 degrees F. Tent the steak with foil and let rest for 10 minutes. Slice thinly against the grain.
• For the hash: Heat a 12 inch cast iron skillet (or heavy, large pan) to medium heat. Add 1/4 cup olive oil, then add the diced potatoes. Season with salt and pepper and let the potatoes cook on all sides. When the potatoes are about 3/4 of the way done and just starting to brown on all sides, add the onion and green and red bell peppers. Cook until the vegetables are cooked and caramelized, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir in the garlic and saute for another 30 seconds. Taste for seasoning.
• To serve: Cut the asparagus into 1-inch pieces and toss with the potato mixture. Plate the hash with the sliced steak on top, drizzle with the roasted red pepper hollandaise and garnish with the chopped scallions and sliced avocado. Dust with smoked paprika if desired.
• Over a stovetop gas flame, or under a broiler, char the red peppers on all sides. Place the peppers in a bowl and cover tightly with plastic wrap. Let rest 10 minutes. Remove the plastic wrap and peel or rub the skin off each pepper. Discard the stems and seeds from the peppers.
• Add the egg yolks, lemon juice, salt, paprika and cayenne to a blender. Blend the yolk mixture at medium speed until it lightens in color, about 25 seconds. Lower the speed and slowly begin to drizzle in the melted butter. Add in the charred peppers and blend until the mixture is smooth and homogenous. Season with more salt, cayenne pepper, or lemon juice if desired.

SEARED RIB-EYE STEAK WITH ARUGULA AND ROASTED PEPPER SALAD

Steps:

• In a large saute pan, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil. Season steaks with salt and pepper. When pan starts to smoke, carefully add steaks. Allow the steaks to cook for about 3 to 4 minutes on 1 side, without moving or piercing the meat. This will help create a good, crusty sear. When steaks are brown, flip and sear the other side for 3 to 4 minutes. Remove meat to a large plate and allow to rest for 10 minutes.
• Decoratively line a large platter with arugula. Tear the roasted peppers into large pieces and scatter over the arugula. In a small bowl, whisk in the remaining olive oil, balsamic vinegar and any meat juices that may have collected on the plate from the steaks. Season with salt and pepper.
• Slice the steaks across the grain and on a bias into 1 1/2-inch thick pieces. Lay the slices on top of the salad and drizzle with dressing. Using a vegetable peeler, shave about Parmesan over the dish.

PAN-SEARED MACKEREL WITH SWEET PEPPERS AND THYME

Steps:

• Season mackerel with salt, black pepper and paprika. Let fillets rest at room temperature while preparing vegetables.
• Set a large skillet over medium heat and add 5 tablespoons oil. Then add leeks, carrots, bell peppers and thyme, cooking them until they soften, about 10 to 12 minutes. Add garlic, stirring gently, and cook for 2 minutes more. Add wine and cook until most of liquid has evaporated, about 7 minutes. Season to taste with more salt, pepper and sherry vinegar, then transfer to one side of a serving platter.
• Wipe the skillet with a paper towel, add remaining oil, and set over high heat. When oil is hot, add mackerel in one layer, skin side down. Cook for 3 minutes, then flip and cook for 1 to 2 minutes longer, until fish is cooked through. Add fillets to platter and spoon vegetables on top of fish.

STEAK WITH BELL-PEPPER SAUCE

Steps:

• In a small skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Trim and season steak with coarse salt and ground pepper; cook until desired doneness, about 2 minutes per side for medium-rare. Transfer steak to a plate; cover with foil to keep warm.
• Make sauce: Add onion to pan; cook, stirring often, until starting to soften, about 3 minutes.
• Add bell pepper, garlic, and dried oregano; season with salt and pepper. Cook until bell pepper is crisp-tender, about 5 minutes.
• Add red-wine vinegar, and bring to a boil; continue boiling until almost evaporated, about 1 minute. Add tomato paste and 1/3 cup water; cook 1 minute more. Spoon pepper sauce over steak.

PAN-SEARED FILET MIGNON WITH RED BELL PEPPER, TOMATO, AND BASIL SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat broiler. Brush large baking sheet with oil. Place tomatoes and bell peppers, cut side down, on prepared sheet. Broil until tomatoes and peppers begin to char and blister, about 5 minutes. Cool. Peel skins from 1 pepper half, then cut into thin strips; set aside. Chop tomatoes and remaining peppers (do not peel).
• Melt 1 tablespoon butter in large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add shallots and sauté until tender, about 4 minutes. Add broth and wine; bring to boil. Add chopped tomatoes, chopped bell peppers, 1/2 cup basil, and crushed red pepper. Boil mixture gently until reduced to 2 cups, stirring occasionally, about 15 minutes. Cool slightly. Puree mixture in blender until smooth. Pour into strainer set over bowl, pressing on solids to extract as much liquid as possible; set aside. (Sauce can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and chill.)
• Heat heavy large skillet (preferably cast iron) over high heat. Sprinkle steaks with salt and pepper. Working in batches, add steaks to hot dry skillet and cook about 4 minutes per side for medium-rare. Transfer to platter; cover to keep warm. Add 1/4 cup water to skillet; stir to scrape up browned bits. Add sauce to skillet; reduce heat and simmer until heated through, about 4 minutes. Remove from heat. Whisk in remaining 4 tablespoons butter, then remaining 1/4 cup basil. Season sauce with salt and pepper.
• Place 1 steak on each of 8 plates. Drizzle sauce over. Garnish steaks with reserved pepper strips and serve.
