Pepper Steak Skewers With Bearnaise Sauce Recipes

PEPPER STEAK SKEWERS WITH BEARNAISE SAUCE

Steps:

• Press the 4 sirloin steaks into a plate of crushed black peppercorns. Transfer the steaks to a plate and leave to infuse with the pepper for 3-4 hrs or overnight in the fridge. Bring the steaks up to room temperature before frying. Heat a splash of oil in a frying pan and sear the steaks for 1 min on each side to seal. Reduce the heat, add a knob of butter and cook for another 4 mins, turning once. Transfer to a plate and allow to rest. To serve, cut each steak into thin slices and thread onto small wooden skewers. Serve with small bowls of good-quality, ready-made Bearnaise sauce as a dip.

STEAK WITH BERNAISE

Steps:

• For the sauce, put the Champagne vinegar, white wine, shallots, 1 tablespoon tarragon leaves, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil and simmer over medium heat for about 5 minutes, until the mixture is reduced to a few tablespoons. Cool slightly.
• Place the cooled mixture with the egg yolks and 1 teaspoon salt in the jar of a blender and blend for 30 seconds. With blender on, slowly pour the hot butter through the opening in the lid. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of tarragon leaves and blend only for a second. If the sauce is too thick, add a tablespoon of white wine to thin. Keep at room temperature until serving.
• Season the steaks liberally with salt and coarsely ground black pepper on both sides. Heat a thin layer of olive oil in a large saute pan over high heat until it's almost smoking, then sear the steaks on each side for 1 minute. Lower the heat to low and cook the steaks for about 7 to 10 minutes, turning once, until very rare in the middle. Remove to a plate, cover tightly with aluminum foil and allow to sit for 10 minutes. Serve with the bernaise sauce on the side.
• Note: To make the sauce in advance, prepare an hour before serving and allow it to sit in the blender. Before serving, add 1 tablespoon of the hottest tap water and blend for a few seconds.

PEPPER STEAK SKEWERS

Steps:

• Preheat a grill to medium. Butterfly the steak by cutting horizontally through the center until the two halves open flat. Cover with plastic wrap and pound it to about 1/4 inch thick. Cut into 3 equal rectangles.
• Lay out each steak rectangle. Season with 1 tablespoon steak seasoning. Lay a piece of the roasted red pepper along the bottom edge of each. Sprinkle each with 1/3 cup cheese. Starting at the bottom edge, roll each rectangle into a tight log. Place the 3 rolls parallel to one another. Pierce the 3 rolls with 6 evenly spaced skewers so each skewer goes through the center of all rolls. Slice the rolls between the skewers to make 6 skewers with 3 pieces on each. Season with the remaining 1 tablespoon steak seasoning.
• Make the spicy yogurt sauce: Combine the steak seasoning, yogurt, hot sauce, Worcestershire sauce and parsley in a bowl.
• Brush the grill grates with the canola oil. Grill the skewers for 3 minutes on all sides. Serve with the sauce. Photograph by Antonis Achilleos

SKIRT-STEAK SKEWERS WITH AVOCADO AND PEPPER SAUCE

• In a blender, puree oil, bell pepper, chile, onion, orange and lemon juices, cumin seeds, oregano, and 1 teaspoon salt until smooth. (Sauce can be made up to 3 days ahead and refrigerated; remove 30 minutes before serving.) Transfer to a serving bowl; just before serving, stir and top with more oregano leaves and a drizzle of oil.
• Preheat grill for direct-heat cooking (medium-high on a gas grill). On a work surface, lay 3 steak pieces flat in a row. Insert a long metal skewer through all 3 pieces, about 1/2 inch from one short end. Insert a second skewer through all 3 pieces, 1/2 inch from other short end. To ensure even cooking, spread pieces 1/2 inch apart on skewers. Repeat with remaining 3 pieces steak. Pat meat dry and generously season both sides with salt; let stand 10 minutes. Lightly brush grates with oil. Grill steak, flipping once, until charred in places, 7 to 9 minutes for medium-rare; 10 to 12 minutes for medium.
