ROASTED BROCCOLI STEAKS WITH OLIVE RELISH

Steps:

• Cut 2 heads of broccoli into steaks. Coat with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Roast on a preheated baking sheet at 425˚ F, flipping once, until tender, 30 to 35 minutes. Combine 1/3 cup each chopped Castelvetrano olives and parsley, 1 tablespoon sliced Calabrian chiles, 1 sliced scallion, 1 1/2 teaspoons red wine vinegar and 1 teaspoon olive oil; spoon over the broccoli.

GRILLED STRIP STEAKS WITH OLIVE-OREGANO RELISH

Steps:

• Prepare grill.
• Pit olives and coarsely chop. In a bowl stir together olives, onion, oregano, oil, pepper, and salt to taste. Pat steaks dry and season with salt and pepper. Grill steaks on an oiled rack set 5 to 6 inches over glowing coals about 4 minutes on each side for medium-rare. (Alternatively, grill steaks in a hot oiled well-seasoned ridged grill pan over moderately high heat.) Serve steaks topped with relish.

SEARED SIRLOIN STEAK WITH OLIVE RELISH

Steps:

• Whisk together the honey and vinegar in a medium bowl; season with salt and pepper. Whisking constantly, pour in the oil in a slow, steady stream; whisk until emulsified. Stir in the onion, garlic, olives, orange, and parsley; set aside.
• Season the steak all over with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Coat a 12-inch seasoned cast-iron skillet with a thin layer of oil; heat over medium-high heat until very hot. Sear the steak, turning once, 6 to 8 minutes per side for medium-rare. Transfer to a plate, and tent with foil; let stand 10 minutes before slicing.
• To serve, cut the steak against the grain into 1/4-inch-thick slices, and arrange on a platter. Spoon the relish on top; garnish with parsley sprigs.

LIME-SOAKED, CUMIN-CRUSTED SKIRT STEAK

Steps:

• Place the steak in a shallow dish and pour the lime juice over it. Cover the dish and let it stand in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to 1 hour, turning occasionally.
• Light up a fire in your grill.
• In a small bowl, combine all the rub ingredients and mix well. Remove the steak from the marinade, pat dry with paper towels, and rub it all over with the spice rub, pressing gently to be sure it sticks.
• When the fire has died down and the coals are hot (you can hold your hand 5 inches from the grill surface for 1 to 2 seconds), place the steak on the grill and cook until well-seared on one side, about 4 minutes. Turn and continue to cook to the desired doneness, about 4 minutes more for rare. To check for doneness: Make a 1/4-inch cut in the thickest part of the meat and take a peek; it should be slightly less done than you like it. Remove the steak from the heat, cover it loosely with foil, and allow it to rest for 5 minutes while you make the relish.
• In a medium bowl, combine all the relish ingredients and mix well.
• Slice the steak as thin as possible against the grain and serve with the relish. Enjoy!
• Note* You may substitute flank steak, or round steak for the skirt.
