Sliced Herb And Garlic Tagliata Recipes

RIB STEAK TAGLIATA

Steps:

• Combine the oil, garlic, parsley, thyme and rosemary leaves in a food processor. Pulse to finely chop. Pour half the oil-herb marinade over the steaks in a large dish and marinate the steaks 2 hours and up to 24 hours, refrigerated.
• Preheat a cast-iron pan or outdoor grill for a medium-high heat. Remove the steaks from the marinade, wipe off excess and sprinkle with coarse salt and black pepper. Place the steaks in the pan or over the hottest area of the grill (moving the steaks around to a cooler section of the grill to prevent too much flaring and reduce excessive charring).
• Cook the steaks to desired doneness by turning only once, cook one side and then the other, moving the steaks only to permit even cooking. Allow 4 to 5 minutes per side for medium-rare. After turning the steaks to the second side, brush on some of the remaining oil-herb marinade for added flavor. After cooking to desired doneness, remove the steaks from the grill and allow them to rest for 5 minutes.
• Drizzle the arugula with oil and balsamic vinegar in a large bowl. Shave Parmesan over top (about 1/2 cup), toss and place equal portions on each of 4 plates.
• Carve the resting steaks into long ribbons of beef, placing several slices on each of the four salads. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
• Squeeze a little lemon juice over the steaks, drizzle with some olive oil and serve.

TAGLIATA WITH ROSEMARY AND GARLIC POTATOES

Steps:

• Squish down on the garlic cloves with the flat side of a knife to bruise them and put them into a large freezer bag. Add the peppercorns, pressing down on them from outside the bag with the end of a rolling pin or a tin of soup to bruise them. Now add the steak, onion quarters, olive oil, vinegar and Worcestershire sauce and mix to combine. Seal the bag and place it in a dish to prevent leakage. Refrigerate for 12 or so hours, or marinate at room temperature for up to 2 hours. The marinating step is critical, so don't cut it short.
• Bring the steak to room temperature before cooking on a griddle for about 6 to 7 minutes a side; it's hard to say exactly how long it'll take as it depends on how you like your meat. I like mine pretty well still quaking and trembling on the plate, so be prepared to cook it for longer if you want better-done meat. Test by prodding before you start poking knives in: if it's very very soft and bouncy, it's blue; springy, rare; springy but with resistance, medium-rare to medium depending on that resistance; hard, well, you know the answer to that.
• Take the steak out and lay it on a large piece of foil, sprinkle with salt, and then wrap the whole parcel in another piece of foil and let it stand for 10 minutes before carving thinly, crosswise (on the diagonal). Arrange on a plate lined with arugula leaves. Put a plate of lemon quarters on the table too, for squeezing over the meat as you eat. Serve with potatoes on the side.

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Wash and dry the potatoes, but don't bother to peel them, and cut them into about 3/4-inch dice. Toss with the oil on a large baking sheet, using your hands to mix well. Tuck in some torn up rosemary sprigs, and roast for about an hour, turning once or twice during that time, until they wonderfully crispy and golden but still soft on the inside. When they're done, remove to a large plate and sprinkle with salt.

HERB AND EGG SCRAMBLE WITH GARLIC TOAST AND SLICED TOMATO

Steps:

• Whisk eggs with cheese and chives and season with salt and pepper and a few drops hot sauce. Preheat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add butter or extra-virgin olive oil to the pan. Heat butter or oil, then add eggs. Add the optional addition, if desired, at this point. Scramble to desired consistency and serve with a sliced plum tomato per person, seasoned with salt and pepper, alongside the eggs. Pass garlic toast at table: rub hot toast with cracked garlic, then butter as usual.

SLICED HERB AND GARLIC TAGLIATA OVER SHAVED PORTOBELLO, CELERY, AND PARMIGIANO-REGGIANO SALAD

Steps:

• Preheat a grill pan, outdoor grill, or tabletop electric grill to high heat.
• Chop the garlic and set to one side of the cutting board. Zest 1 lemon on the cutting board. Pile all of the rosemary, all of the sage, half of the parsley leaves, and all but 1 tablespoon of the thyme leaves on top of the lemon zest. Chop the herb pile together with the lemon zest, then add the garlic to the pile and continue until all the herbs, zest, and garlic are finely chopped and combined. Add about a teaspoon each of coarse salt and black pepper to the pile and mash it into the herbs and garlic using the flat of your knife and the palm of your hand.
• Drizzle EVOO over the steaks liberally on both sides, then evenly smear the steaks with the good goop: garlic, herb, and zest mash. Grill the steaks for 2 minutes on each side for rare, 3 minutes on each side for medium to medium well. Let them rest for a few minutes before slicing.
• Cut the celery on a very acute angle, very thinly slicing the greens and stalks. Cut the portobellos straight across but slice them as thin as possible as well. Shred the cheese using a vegetable peeler to make long, thin pieces of Parmigiano-Reggiano. In a large bowl, arrange and combine the celery with the mushrooms and cheese and arugula leaves. Coarsely chop the remaining parsley and thyme leaves and scatter over the salad. Dress the salad with the juice of the zested lemon. Cut the lemon in half across and squeeze the juice out with the cut side facing up. The juice will spill out and down over the sides. It's messy, but it keeps the seeds in the lemon and out of your salad. Generously drizzle the salad with some EVOO to coat and toss the salad lightly with your fingertips. Season with salt and pepper.
• Cut the remaining lemon into wedges and squeeze a little juice over the cooked steaks. Slice the meat very thin against the grain and top with Worcestershire or lemon juice. Place a sliced steak on each dinner plate and top with mounds of the salad. YUMMO!

NIGELLA LAWSON'S TAGLIATA FOR TWO

Steps:

• Heat a grill pan, or cast-iron or heavy non-stick frying pan.
• In a small dish that can take the steak snugly later, combine the extra-virgin olive oil, red pepper flakes, dried oregano, salt, and red wine vinegar. Oil the steak lightly and put it in the hot pan and cook for 2 minutes on each side, then remove it to the dish of spicy marinade and sit the cooked steak for 2 minutes a side in the dish. Your steak will be rare, but that's the way it's meant to be.
• Remove the steeped steak to a board, ready for slicing, and while it sits there, arrange the cherry tomatoes, cut-side down, in the marinade dish. Cut the steak into thin slices on the diagonal and arrange on a serving dish or 2 dinner plates.
• Smoosh the tomatoes around in the marinade, then pour them, and the marinade, over the ribbons of meat. Add a few leaves of fresh oregano, if you can get them, and serve immediately.
