Pub Steak Recipes

PUB-STYLE STEAK

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine beer, Worcestershire sauce, and brown sugar.
• Add the steaks, turn over and cover with plastic wrap. Marinate for one hour on the counter OR place in the refrigerator for a few hours until ready to use. Turn steak occasionally.
• Remove steaks from the marinade, reserve the marinade. Pat steaks dry with paper towels, and season with salt and pepper.
• Heat one tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat until hot, about one minute.
• Place steaks in the hot skillet and cook for four to five minutes {depending on thickness}. Flip over and cook for an additional four to five minutes for medium-rare {125 degrees}.
• Remove steaks from skillet and place on a plate. Cover with aluminium foil and allow to rest.
• Add remaining tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet. Add the shallot and cook until softened, one to two minutes.
• Pour the reserved marinade into the skillet. Cook, stirring to removed cooked bits off the bottom of the skillet for six to eight minutes, until sauce is reduced by half.
• Add the butter, stirring occasionally until melted and sauce is shiny. Remove from heat.
• Spoon sauce over each steak and top with compound butter.

YE OLD PUB GRILLED STEAK (ENGLISH/UK)

Steps:

• Mix soy sauce and honey. It's basically a one to one ratio, but you can adjust for sweet verses salty preferences.
• Warm the mixture on the stove until the honey is incorporated into the soy sauce. Keep warm until ready to brush on steaks.
• Salt and pepper the steaks. I use coarse ground black pepper and kosher salt.
• Place steaks on a HOT grill.
• For great looking grill marks:.
• Place the meet on the grill at a 45 degree angle for 1/2 the cooking time for the first side. Turn 90 degrees for the remaining cooking time for the first side. Turn the steak over, again at a 45 degree angle for the first half, then turn 90 degrees and finish cooking. You should end up with diamond shaped grill marks.
• When meat is almost ready to come off the grill, brush with the soy sauce/honey mixture. Let it cook/sear on one side, then turn over and do the same to the other. Repeat as necessary to get a noticable glaze on the meat.
• Remove from heat and brush again (this is important).
• Let meat stand for 15 min before serving (also important).
