Pan Roasted Sirloin With Corn Relish Recipes

PAN-ROASTED SIRLOIN WITH CORN RELISH

Steps:

• For corn relish:
• In a small saucepan, bring vinegar and sugar to a boil, stirring to dissolve sugar. Reduce heat and add garlic, ginger, and thyme. Simmer 10 minutes, until mixture is reduced to 3/4 cup. Remove pot from heat. Heat oil in large saucepan over medium heat. Add onion, red pepper, jalapeño, and salt. Cook, stirring, until pepper softens. Stir in corn and scallions. Cook 2 minutes longer. Add vinegar mixture to corn mixture; simmer 5 minutes. Cool to room temperature in fridge. Stir in chives.
• For pan-roasted sirloin:
• Season steaks with salt and pepper. Sprinkle oil on a nonstick skillet, then wipe it clean. Heat skillet, then add steaks and cook on medium-high heat for 3 minutes until brown on one side; turn steaks and cook 3 minutes more. Add fresh herbs to pan. Continue cooking steaks, turning from side to side, until done (13 to 15 minutes total for medium rare). Remove steaks from skillet and set aside to rest for 10 minutes. Slice and serve with room-temperature corn relish on top.

PAN-ROASTED SIRLOIN WITH ONIONS AND PEPPERS

Steps:

• Rub steak with ground pepper and season with 1/4 teaspoon salt.
• Heat a large, heavy skillet (I use my old cast iron skillet) over medium-high heat; when hot, add 1 tablespoon of the oil, then add the steak.
• Cook about 7 minutes per side for medium-rare; remove from skillet and place on a serving platter, cover loosely with foil and keep warm.
• Pour off any fat from skillet and add remaining 2 tablespoons of the oil; add onions to the skillet, saute about 4 minutes, or until soft and slightly browned; add sliced peppers, garlic and basil; saute about 10 minutes, or until the peppers are soft.
• Add balsamic vinegar and give it a few stirs.
• Slice the steak into 1/2-inch thick, diagonal slices; dump the onion/pepper mixture on top of the steak slices and dig in.
