Porterhouse Steak With Fra Diavolo Bbq Sauce And Cherry Pepper Salad Recipes

PORTERHOUSE STEAK WITH FRA DIAVOLO BBQ SAUCE AND CHERRY PEPPER SALAD

Steps:

• Make the sauce first. Heat the oil in a saucepan over medium-high heat, and add the onions. Saute until soft but do not brown, about 6 minutes. Add the garlic, red pepper flakes, cayenne and chile powder, and cook an additional minute until fragrant. Add the remaining ingredients and stir well. Simmer until darkened and thick, about 45 minutes. For the salad, simply mix all ingredients together, and set aside at room temperature. Sprinkle the steaks with course salt, and let sit for at least 15 minutes. Heat the grill on high heat. Season the steak with pepper, then place on the grill and cook for 3-4 minutes until lightly charred. Turn the steaks over and brush tops with sauce, lower heat to medium and cook an addition 3 minutes. Brush and turn the steaks for another total 4 minutes or until steaks are cooked to desired doneness. Allow steaks to rest for 5 minutes, lightly tented with foil. (Grill veggies in the meantime if using.) Cut the steak off the bone, and slice thinly. Place on plates, top with pepper tomato salad, and serve remaining sauce on the side.

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add onions and cook until soft, about 4 to 5 minutes. Add garlic and red pepper flakes and cook for 1 minute. Add remaining ingredients, reduce heat to medium-low and cook until thickened, about 35 to 40 minutes.
• Heat grill to high. Season steaks on both sides with salt and pepper. Grill, on 1 side, until crusty and slightly charred, about 4 to 5 minutes. Turn steaks over, close the hood and continue grilling for 6 to 8 minutes for medium-rare doneness. Baste with the sauce during the last few minutes. Remove from the grill and brush with more of the sauce. Let meat rest for 5 minutes, then slice into 1/4 inch thick slices and top with the Cherry Pepper-Tomato salad.
• Whisk together vinegar, garlic and salt and pepper in a medium bowl. Slowly whisk in the olive oil. Add the peppers, tomatoes and parsley and stir to combine. Adjust seasoning and let sit 30 minutes at room temperature before serving.
