Steak With Chipotle Butter And Roasted Zucchini Recipes

GRILLED STEAK AND ZUCCHINI

Steps:

• Preheat a grill to medium high. Put the potatoes in a medium saucepan; add the garlic, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and water to cover. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium low and simmer until the potatoes are tender, about 10 minutes; drain, discarding the garlic.
• Meanwhile, mix the olive oil, rosemary, thyme, lemon zest, 1 teaspoon salt, and pepper to taste in a small bowl. Toss the zucchini in a bowl with 1 tablespoon of the herb oil. Rub the steak with a tablespoon of the remaining herb oil.
• Grill the steak, turning once, about 10 minutes for medium rare (a thermometer inserted into the center of the steak should register 130 degrees F to 135 degrees F). Transfer to a plate to rest. Meanwhile, grill the zucchini, turning once, until well marked and crisp-tender, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a plate and sprinkle with half of the lemon juice.
• Toss the potatoes with the remaining herb oil and lemon juice, the parsley, and salt and pepper to taste. Serve with the steak and zucchini.

ZUCCHINI BUTTER

Steps:

• Grate the zucchini on the large holes of a box grater into a colander set over a bowl. Squeeze the zucchini to remove the excess liquid.
• Heat the butter and olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the shallot; cook, stirring, until softened, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the zucchini, thyme, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper; cook, stirring occasionally, until the zucchini is very tender and almost paste-like but not browned, 35 to 40 minutes, mashing it with a fork in the last 5 minutes. If the zucchini starts sticking, stir in a splash of water; reduce the heat as needed to prevent browning.
• Remove the pan from the heat, stir in the lemon zest and season with salt. Let cool, then discard the thyme and transfer to a small jar. Store in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
