Seared Steak With Rosemary And Broccoli Rabe Recipes

SEARED STEAK WITH ROSEMARY

Steps:

• In a small skillet over medium-low heat, heat the olive oil and the rosemary, stirring occasionally, for 5 to 10 minutes. Remove from the heat; scrape the rosemary and oil onto a platter or container large enough to hold the steak in a single layer.
• Meanwhile, pat the steak dry and season both sides with salt and pepper to taste.
• In a large, preferably cast-iron, skillet over medium-high heat, heat the 2 tablespoons vegetable oil until hot but not smoking. Carefully add the steak and cook, turning only once, until cooked to the desired degree of doneness, 2 to 3 minutes per side for medium-rare.
• Transfer the steak to the oil-rosemary mixture, turn to coat and set aside to rest for 5 to 10 minutes.
• If desired, using tongs, transfer the steak to a cutting board and cut into thin slices. (If using skirt steak, cut across the grain.) Arrange the steak on individual plates.
• Discard the sprigs of rosemary and drizzle the oil and juices from the plate over each steak. Serve immediately.

SEARED STEAK WITH ROSEMARY AND BROCCOLI RABE

Steps:

• Generously season the steaks with salt and pepper. Heat a large skillet to very hot. Pour in a very small amount of olive oil (about 1 teaspoon) and immediately add the steaks to the pan. (If you have an exhaust fan, this is a good time to use it!) Sear the steaks on both sides to a nice crusty brown. Sprinkle steaks with half the rosemary leaves, then turn them over. Lower the heat and cook about 3 minutes on each side for medium-rare (for a 1-inch-thick piece of meat). Sprinkle with the remaining rosemary after cooking the first side. Remove the steaks from the skillet. Pour 2 tablespoons water and 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil into the skillet and swirl over the heat. Pour the juices over the steaks, then pour the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil into the pan and return it to the heat. When the skillet is hot, add the broccoli rabe and toss or stir with tongs. Cook over medium-high heat for about 2 minutes, then stir in the garlic, and season with salt and red pepper. Cook about 2 more minutes, until the stems are tender-crisp. Serve with the steak.

SEARED RIB STEAK WITH ROSEMARY AND ARUGULA

Steps:

• In a saucepan, combine 1/2 cup olive oil with the rosemary. Bring to a simmer over low heat and remove from the heat. Let rest 10 minutes. Strain through a sieve, reserving both the infused oil and the chopped rosemary. In a small jar, combine the balsamic vinegar with the reserved rosemary oil and half the salt and the pepper. Cover tightly and shake vigorously. Set aside. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Season the rib steak with the remaining salt and pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a medium ovenproof skillet over high heat. Sear the steak 2 to 3 minutes. Turn the steak over and place the pan in the oven. Cook for an additional 5 to 7 minutes for rare to medium-rare. Transfer the steak to a cutting board and let rest 4 to 5 minutes. Arrange the arugula on a serving platter. With a long sharp knife, cut the steak on the bias into thin slices. Arrange the slices on top of the arugula, drizzle with the reserved rosemary oil and sprinkle with the reserved chopped rosemary. Serve with the lemon quarters.

SEARED SWORDFISH WITH STEWED SICILIAN-STYLE BROCCOLI RABE

Steps:

• In large skillet over medium heat, warm 1 tablespoon of the oil. Add garlic, red pepper flakes, a large pinch of salt and a few grinds of black pepper. Cook until fragrant, about 1 1/2 minutes.
• Add the thicker broccoli rabe stems and wine, cover and cook until half-tender, 5 to 6 minutes.
• Add rest of the broccoli rabe and cook, covered, for 6 more minutes, until very tender.
• Uncover pan, add olives, and cook for a few more minutes to evaporate remaining liquid.
• Stir in lemon juice, and season with salt and pepper. Drizzle with another tablespoon of olive oil and set aside to keep warm, or heat gently just before serving.
• Heat large skillet over medium-high heat for 2 minutes. Season swordfish steaks with salt and pepper.
• Drizzle each with 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil per side (4 tablespoons total). Place the fish in the hot skillet and cook for 4 to 6 minutes on each side.
• Serve immediately, with the broccoli rabe.
