Steak And Pan Seared Tomatoes Recipes

CAST IRON PAN-SEARED STEAK (OVEN-FINISHED)

Steps:

• Place steaks side by side in large casserole dish. Add orange juice, cider vinegar, and Worcestershire sauce. Refrigerate, uncovered, for 45 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
• Remove casserole dish from refrigerator. Cover steaks with plastic wrap and let reach room temperature, at least 15 minutes.
• Heat olive oil in a cast-iron skillet over high heat.
• Place steaks on a clean work surface and generously rub with steak seasoning and black pepper.
• Cook steaks in the hot skillet until lightly browned on the bottom, 2 1/2 minutes. Flip and cook until browned on the other side and red in the center, about 2 minutes more. Place skillet, with steaks, into the oven.
• Bake in the preheated oven until steaks are firm and reddish-pink to lightly pink in the center, 8 to 10 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read from 130 degrees F (54 degrees C) to 140 degrees F (60 degrees C).
• Remove steaks from oven; season with salt. Let sit for 5 minutes before serving.

STEAK AND PAN SEARED TOMATOES

Steps:

• Lay steak on a cutting board or other hard surface and season on one side with salt and pepper to taste, optional cumin, and/or optional onion powder. Pound with pointy side of mallet to tenderize. Set aside while mincing and slicing veggies. Combine cornstarch with Adobo seasoning or seasoned salt and dried oregano.
• In a large cast iron skillet heat 1 teaspoon oil and 1 teaspoon butter over medium high heat. Brown steak about 2 minutes, each side. This probably has to be repeated for other steak. Remove and keep warm on a plate covered with aluminum foil.
• Add a teaspoon of oil to pan if it is dry and turn heat up a little to medium high. Dredge tomatoes with cornstarch mixture; this will form a light crust on the tomatoes when cooked. Once crust forms, turn over. This will only take a minute or two. Remove and set aside.
• Turn heat down to medium and add 1 teaspoon oil and 1 teaspoon butter. Once butter melts, add onions and mushrooms. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Saute, stirring occasionally until onions and mushrooms are tender, about 3 minutes. Add wine and reduce by half. Taste and adjust seasonings.
• Serve steak with tomato and mushroom sauce over top.

SEARED RIB EYE, TOMATO PAN SAUCE

Steps:

• For the sauce: In a saute pan, add the tomatoes, barbeque sauce, cranberry juice and celery seeds. Warm over medium-low heat to blend the flavors, about 5 minutes. Once warmed, remove from the heat, and the Worcestershire sauce and puree in a blender, with the vent removed, until smooth. Then return to the pan and bring to a simmer over medium-low heat. Once simmering, remove from the heat and whisk in some butter. Hold warm in the pan until serving.
• For the steaks: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the oil until hot, 2 to 3 minutes. Then add the onions and seasoning blend, stirring with a wooden spoon until the onions are translucent and slightly browned on the edges, 8 to 10 minutes. After caramelizing the onions, sprinkle the steaks with salt and pepper on both sides. Then add to the skillet and sear on both sides, 5 to 6 minutes.
• Once seared, remove the onions from the skillet and finish the steaks in the oven to desired temperature. They will be medium-rare to medium with oven cooking. Once the steaks are finished, sauce each plate with 1 to 2 ounces of sauce. Place steaks in center and finish with the onions.

PAN-SEARED STEAK

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400. Heat oil in a large cast-iron or other ovenproof skillet (not a nonstick) over medium-high until it begins to smoke. Pat steak dry with paper towels. Season each side with 1 teaspoon coarse salt and 1 teaspoon cracked pepper.
• Cook steak in skillet over medium-high heat until a dark crust has formed, 5 to 7 minutes per side (reduce heat if meat is browning too quickly). Holding steak with tongs, quickly brown all edges, turning as necessary; lay steak flat in skillet.
• Transfer skillet to oven. Roast until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part of steak registers desired doneness, 5 to 15 minutes. Transfer to a plate; spread with 1 tablespoon Steak Butter. Cover loosely with aluminum foil, and let rest 5 to 10 minutes (temperature will then rise another 5 to 10 degrees). Slice across the grain; serve with remaining Steak Butter. Cover and refrigerate any leftovers, up to 2 days.

COLD SEARED STEAK WITH TOMATOES AND SOY

Steps:

• Cook some steak to your liking (on the grill if possible), let it cool completely, then slice it.
• On the day you're going to eat it, toss with plenty of halved cherry tomatoes, grated ginger and garlic, soy sauce, a little sesame oil and a squeeze of lime juice.
• Scatter with cilantro, basil or mint (or a combination) before serving with lime wedges.

SEARED STEAK

Steps:

• If time allows remove steaks from packaging, dry with paper towels, put on a plate and refrigerate a day or two. If not, wrap in paper towels and set on counter about 30 minutes. (If you're really in a hurry, just proceed.)
• Heat oven to 500 degrees (550 if possible), and set a rack in the lowest position, unless skillet can be placed directly on oven floor. Place a cast-iron skillet large enough to hold steaks without crowding over high heat, and heat until smoking. Sprinkle surface of pan with coarse salt, and put steaks in. Smoke will billow up; wearing a thick oven mitt, immediately transfer skillet to oven.
• Roast steaks, turning once, about 4 minutes a side for medium rare, or until browned and cooked to preferred doneness. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, and let rest 3 to 5 minutes. Slice steaks or cut each into two pieces, and serve.
