Steak Ala Mama Recipes

PASTA A LA MAMA

Steps:

• In a large nonstick, deep-sided saute pan, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the onions and saute until just starting to get soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the cauliflower and stir well. Cover and lower the heat, letting the cauliflower steam until almost fork-tender, about 5 minutes. Remove the cover; raise the heat to medium to evaporate most of the cooking liquid. Add a splash more olive oil and the garlic and brown over medium-high heat until the cauliflower is crisp-tender, about 5 minutes. Add the pasta and toss together to combine.
• Add the bread crumbs and cheese and stir well to coat, slightly browning the crumbs, about 2 minutes.
• Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Add more cheese, if desired. Serve with crusty Italian bread and butter.

PORTERHOUSE AND POTATOES ALLA MAMMA

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• To make the potatoes, in a small bowl mix the bread crumbs, 1/2-cup olive oil, and a pinch of salt and pepper together.
• Cover potatoes generously with bread crumb mixture. Place slices on a sheet pan and cook potatoes for 1 hour. After an hour, remove from the oven and sprinkle shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan on top of the potatoes.
• To make the steaks, preheat the broiler. Put the steaks in the broiler pan and coat on both sides with the olive oil, oregano, onion powder, and garlic powder. Season the steaks generously with salt and pepper.
• Broil the steaks for 5 minutes, then turn, and cook the second side for an additional 3 to 5 minutes. Remove and let rest while you finish the potatoes.
• Adjust the oven temperature to 400 degrees F and put the potatoes back in. Cook until the cheese is melted and beginning to brown, about 3 minutes. Squeeze a half of lemon on each steak and serve with the potatoes.
