Steak And Orzo In Tomato Oregano Sauce Recipes

GRILLED STEAK AND ASPARAGUS WITH ORZO

Steps:

• Combine 2 tablespoons olive oil, the garlic and thyme in a small bowl; brush on the steak, then season with salt and pepper. Toss the asparagus with the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
• Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the orzo and cook as the label directs; drain and return to the pot. Add the half-and-half and cook over medium heat, stirring, until slightly thickened, about 1 minute. Remove from the heat; stir in the gruyere. Season with salt and pepper.
• Meanwhile, heat a grill pan over medium heat and brush with olive oil. Grill the steak 3 to 4 minutes per side for medium rare; transfer to a plate. Wipe off the grill pan. Grill the asparagus, turning occasionally, until marked, 4 minutes; drizzle with the lemon juice. Slice the steak and serve with the asparagus and orzo. Top the orzo with the scallions.

ORZO WITH TOMATOES, BASIL, AND GORGONZOLA

Steps:

• Heat 1 1/2 tablespoons of olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the orzo pasta; cook and stir until the orzo has lightly browned, 3 to 4 minutes.

Pour in the vegetable broth, and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low, and cover; simmer until the orzo is tender yet still a little firm to the bite, 12 to 14 minutes.
• In a mixing bowl, combine cherry tomatoes, 1/2 of the fresh basil, garlic, and remaining olive oil.
• Spoon the cooked orzo into a serving bowl. Top with tomato mixture, and sprinkle with Gorgonzola and remaining basil.

ORZO PASTA, SPICY TOMATO SAUCE & FETA FROM THE DUCKSOUP COOK

Steps:

• First skin the tomatoes. Bring a large pan of water to a boil. Using a sharp knife, score a little cross at the base of the tomatoes and cut out the "eye" of the tomato at the other end. Have a large bowl of ice water ready, and once your water is boiling submerge the tomatoes for 15 seconds, then immediately plunge them into the ice water. You'll be able to peel off their skins immediately. Set to one side.
• In a large frying pan, temper the cumin and nigella seeds in the olive oil over low heat for 1 minute, then add the onion and cook until soft. Add the garlic, chile flakes, bay leaf, and paprika and cook for 2 minutes. Coarsely chop the tomatoes, add to the onions, and simmer for 10 minutes. You're looking for a soupy consistency, so if you need to add a little water, then do so. Season with salt and pepper. While your sauce is cooking, bring a large pan of salted water to a boil and cook your orzo pasta for 10 minutes, or according to the package instructions. Drain and add to the tomato sauce.
• Let everything cook together for a couple of minutes. To serve, divide between two bowls, crumble the feta over, and sprinkle with the fresh oregano and a drizzle of olive oil.
