SOFRITO-MARINATED FLANK STEAK

Steps:

• In a shallow glass dish, stir together Garlic-Pepper Sauce, red-wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, and olive oil. Add flank steak; spoon some sauce mixture over steak. Cover, and marinate 30 minutes at room temperature or up to overnight in the refrigerator.
• Heat broiler; set rack 4 inches from heat. Transfer steak to a broiler pan, spooning marinade over meat. Broil, without turning, 14 to 16 minutes for medium-rare (135 degrees on an instant-read thermometer). Let stand 10 minutes before slicing.

SOFRITO-MARINATED STEAK

Steps:

• For the sofrito: puree onion, bell peppers, cilantro and garlic in a food processor; add olive oil, salt and pepper.
• Spread 1 cup of the sofrito over the flank steak, working it into the scored crevices of the meat with your fingers; allow the meat to marinate for at least 30 minutes but 2-3 hours is best.
• Prepare grill or broiler; grill or broil the meat to the desired doneness, about 8 minutes per side for medium rare.
• Let stand 5 minutes then slice.
• Refrigerate or freeze the rest of the sofrito to use in another dish- it goes really well with sauteed chicken.

GOOD EATS BEEF STEW

Steps:

• In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the tomato paste, cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, paprika and dried herbs. Set aside.
• Season the short ribs with 1 tablespoon of the kosher salt. Place a large griddle over medium-high heat and once a drop of water bounces off, sear the meat until browned on all sides. Once browned, remove the meat to the bowl with the paste and toss to coat. Transfer to a large piece of heavy-duty aluminum foil and seal tightly. Place the package into a metal pan and put into a cold oven on the middle rack. Set the oven to 250 degrees F and cook for 4 hours.
• Remove the meat from the oven and carefully poke a hole in the pack while holding it over a heatproof container. Drain the liquid into the container and place it into the refrigerator to cool enough so that the fat separates from the rest of the liquid, approximately 1 hour. After 1 hour, transfer the liquid to the freezer and keep there until the fat cap has solidified, approximately 1 hour. Allow the ribs to sit at room temperature while the liquid is cooling or if serving the next day, place in the refrigerator until ready to finish.
• Retrieve the liquid from the refrigerator and remove the fat cap that has formed on top. Measure out 1 tablespoon of the fat and reserve the rest for another time. Place the fat into a large saucier and place over medium heat. Once the fat has melted add the onion along with the remaining teaspoon of salt and stir to separate the onions into rings. Allow to cook for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the potatoes along with a pinch of black pepper and stir to combine. Next, add the liquid reserved from the meat and stir. Cover tightly and decrease the heat to low so that no heat is escaping the lid. Cook for 30 minutes or until the potatoes are fork tender.
• Meanwhile, cut the meat away from the bone, removing the connective tissue and discarding. Once the potatoes are tender, uncover and set the meat atop the vegetables. Cover and continue to cook for 10 minutes. Serve sprinkled with the parsley.

SOY MARINATED SKIRT STEAK

Steps:

• Whisk sweet soy sauce, sake, pineapple juice, mirin, reduced-sodium soy sauce, cilantro, sugar, ginger, garlic, scallions, and chile paste together in a large glass or ceramic bowl. Add skirt steak and toss to coat. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator for 3 hours.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Remove meat from marinade, and shake off excess. Pour marinade into a saucepan; bring to a boil and cook until sauce is reduced by half, about 10 minutes. Strain sauce into a bowl.
• Cook steak on the preheated grill until it begins to firm and is hot and slightly pink in the center, about 4 to 6 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 140 degrees F (60 degrees C). Transfer steak to a plate and let rest, about 5 minutes. Serve steak with sauce.
