Steak Prosciutto Skewers With Sage Thyme Recipes

GRILLED STEAK SKEWERS WITH HORSERADISH

Steps:

• For the steak skewers: Assemble the marinade by combining the soy sauce, vegetable oil, horseradish, rice wine vinegar, ginger and honey in a bowl.

• In the meantime, prepare for the skewer assembly. Put the wooden skewers in a shallow bowl of water and soak for 1 hour. This will prevent burning on the grill. Discard the water after soaking.
• Prep the scallions by slicing the white and light green parts into 1-inch pieces. Set aside for the skewers. Then, slice the dark green tops and set aside for the sauce.
• For the horseradish sauce. In a mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, horseradish, hot sauce and Worcestershire. Stir in the salt, ginger and reserved scallion tops. This can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator. When ready to serve, pour the horseradish sauce in a small bowl and garnish with a few more pieces of scallions on top.

• Slide 4 to 5 cubes of beef onto each skewer, alternating with pieces of scallion (discard the marinade). Grill until browned and crispy, 3 to 4 minutes on each side. Serve warm alongside the horseradish sauce for dipping.

• Put the chicken breasts between two sheets of greaseproof paper and beat with a rolling pin until roughly twice their original size. Lay two rippled slices of prosciutto on top of each breast and secure with cocktail sticks. Dust each breast lightly with flour, then season with salt and pepper. (Can be made several hours ahead up to this point, and chilled.)
• Heat the oil in a frying pan, drop in the sage leaves (they should sizzle) and fry for 30 seconds until just crisp. They can burn quickly so watch them. Lift out the leaves with a slotted spoon and drain on kitchen paper. Add the butter to the pan, let it melt, then fry the chicken for 3-4 minutes on each side until cooked and well browned. Remove from the pan and set aside.
• Pour in the wine, stirring well to scrape all the lovely sticky bits from the bottom of the pan. Let the mixture bubble until the wine is reduced by about half. Stir in the cream or crème fraîche, put the chicken back in the pan and heat through. Scatter the fried sage leaves on top and serve with pasta tossed with a little olive oil and some freshly chopped sage leaves.
