Steak New Potato Toss For Two Recipes

STEAK AND POTATOES FOR TWO

Steps:

• For the twice baked potatoes: Pre-heat the oven to 180°C/350ºF. Place the potatoes on a baking sheet then bake until a sharp knife can easily be inserted (approximately 30-45 minutes.)
• Remove from the oven and halve the baked potatoes. Carefully scoop out the flesh. Drizzle the potato skins with a few teaspoons of olive oil then place back in the oven and allow to bake for 10-15 minutes until crisp.
• Mash the cooked potato with cream cheese, grated cheese and chives and season to taste. Spoon the filling back into the potato skins and top with more grated cheese. Place back in the oven to bake for another 10-15 minutes or until golden and bubbling.
• To cook the steak, heat a cast-iron pan over high heat.
• Season the steak generously with salt then place in the pan to sear for 2 minutes per side, depending on thickness and required doneness.
• Add butter to the pan along with thyme and garlic then baste the steak with the flavored butter for another 1-2 minutes or until steak is cooked to your preference. Keep in mind that the steak will continue cooking while it's resting so it's a good idea to remove it from the pan just before done to your preference. For a rare steak, remove it from the pan when the internal temperature reads 55ºC/130ºF on a meat thermometer, for medium rare remove when it's at 60ºC/135ºF.
• Remove the steak from the pan and allow to rest for 5-10 minutes before carving and serving with the twice baked potatoes.

Steps:

• Position an oven rack in the top third of the oven and preheat to 450 degrees F. Lightly grease a third of an 18-by-13-inch sheet pan with butter.
• Toss the shrimp with the melted butter, 1 teaspoon thyme, a third of the minced garlic, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a medium bowl until well coated; set aside.
• Mix the Parmesan, 1/3 cup heavy cream, remaining 1 teaspoon thyme, half the remaining garlic, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a small bowl.
• Arrange half of the potato slices in a single, overlapping layer on the buttered part of the sheet pan and pour the heavy cream mixture over the top. Top with the remaining potato slices. Cover the potatoes with foil and bake until tender when pierced with a fork, 15 to 17 minutes.
• Whisk together the cream cheese, remaining 1/3 cup heavy cream, remaining garlic and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl until smooth. Fold in the spinach until well coated. Divide the mixture between two 4-inch ramekins and press the spinach down so that it is flat and the cream mixture is pooling a bit on top.
• Remove the pan from the oven, remove the foil and sprinkle the potatoes with the Gruyere. Put the steaks down the middle of the pan and sprinkle generously with salt and pepper. Put the ramekins on one end of the empty third of the pan so that they are side by side.
• Bake until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the middle of the steak registers 95 degrees F, 12 to 14 minutes. Remove the pan from the oven and turn on the broiler. Create 2 hearts with the shrimp on the pan beside the ramekins by connecting the tails. Broil until the steaks start to turn brown in some spots, an instant-read thermometer inserted into the middle of the steak reaches 125 degrees F (for medium-rare), the shrimp are opaque and the cheese on the potatoes turns golden and starts to crisp, 3 to 4 minutes. Let rest 5 to 10 minutes. Slice and serve the steak on plates alongside the shrimp, potatoes and creamed spinach.

RIB-EYE STEAK AND CRISPY SMASHED POTATOES FOR TWO

• Season steak with 1/2 tsp. salt and 1/2 tsp. pepper. Let sit at room temperature 1 hour.
• Meanwhile, fill a large pot with about 1" water and season with a big pinch of salt. Set a steamer basket in pot. Cover and bring water to a boil. Add potatoes, cover, and steam until fork-tender, 20-25 minutes. Remove steamer basket with potatoes from heat and let cool to room temperature. Crush each flat with the back of a spatula to about 1" thick (the skins will split and some potato flesh might crumble, which is fine).
• While potatoes cook, cover shallots with vinegar in a small bowl. Let sit at least 10 minutes and up to 30. Pour oil over, then stir in parsley, basil, orange zest, and 1/4 tsp. salt; set sauce aside until ready to serve.
• About half an hour before you want to eat, heat a large heavy skillet (preferably cast iron) over high. Using tongs, hold fat cap of steak against skillet while it heats until enough oil to coat pan is rendered, about 2 minutes. Lay steak down in hot beef fat and cook over high heat, turning every 2 minutes, until a deep brown crust forms and an instant-read thermometer inserted into thickest part of steak registers 120°F for medium-rare, 12-15 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest 10 minutes.
