GRILLED STEAKS WITH RED CHILE SAUCE

Steps:

• Make sauce:
• Rinse chiles and remove stems, then split open and discard seeds and ribs. Heat a dry well-seasoned cast-iron skillet or heavy skillet over moderate heat, then toast chiles in batches, turning them, about 30 seconds total. Transfer chiles to a heatproof bowl and pour boiling water over them. Cover bowl and soak chiles, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 20 minutes.
• Reserve 2 cups soaking liquid, then drain chiles in a colander. Purée chiles, reserved soaking liquid, and roasted peppers in 2 batches in a blender until smooth (use caution when blending hot liquids). Force purée through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl, pressing on and discarding solids.
• Cook garlic, cumin, oregano, and salt in butter in a 4-quart heavy saucepan over moderately low heat, stirring, 1 minute. Add flour and cook, stirring, 2 minutes. Whisk in chile mixture and simmer, whisking occasionally, until reduced to about 2 1/2 cups, 15 to 20 minutes. Add vinegar and salt to taste. Keep sauce warm, covered.
• Grill steaks:
• Prepare grill for cooking. If using a charcoal grill, open vents on bottom of grill, then light charcoal. Charcoal fire is medium-hot when you can hold your hand 5 inches above rack for 3 to 4 seconds. If using a gas grill, preheat burners on high, covered, 10 minutes, then reduce heat to moderately high.
• Pat steaks dry and season with salt. Grill steaks, uncovered, on lightly oiled grill rack, turning over once, 6 to 8 minutes total for medium-rare. Transfer to a platter and let stand, loosely covered with foil, 5 minutes.

INCORRECT STEAK WITH DIXON RED CHILI SAUCE

Steps:

• Top steak with a ladle of Dixon red chili sauce. Sprinkle with shredded cheddar cheese and top with fried egg. The heat from the sizzling steak, warm chili sauce and egg will melt the cheese.
• Heat oil in saute pan. Stir in the flour and cook to a golden brown. Add the red chili puree and salt, and cook another 30 seconds, stirring constantly. Add the broth little by little, whisking it smooth. Add enough broth to make a medium-thin red sauce.
• Place all ingredients in a blender and zap into a smooth puree. Be sure to blend long enough to completely puree the garlic. The mixture should be loose enough to pour. If necessary, add a bit more water.

STEAK WITH THREE-CHILE SAUCE

Steps:

• SAUCE:.
• Heat a dry 10" skillet over medim heat for 2 minutes. Toast the ancho and pasilla chiles in the heated skillet for about 20 seconds on each side. They'll become fragrant, but do not allow them to scorch or they'll become bitter. Remove the stems, seeds and ribs from the toasted chiles, and soak them in hot water to cover for about 20 minutes to rehydrate. Drain them and put them in the blender with the chipotle chile.
• Heat 1 tbs of oil over medium heat in the same skillet you used for toasting the chiles. Add the onions. Cook until soft and golden brown, stirring often, for about 10 minutes (lower the heat if needed to prevent scorching). Add the garlic and cook, stirring, for an additional minute. Move the onions and garlic to the blender, along with the cilantro, brandy, and 1/4 cup water. Puree everything to a smooth paste, adding more water as needed, 1 tbs at a time. Transfer the chile puree into a small bowl.
• Heat the remaining 2 tbs of oil in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Make sure you're wearing an apron or smock at this point (trust me). When the oil is shimmery and just beginning to smoke, quickly add the chile paste (step back a bit, it will spatter violently).Cook, stirring constantly to incorporate the oil, for about 2 to 4 minutes, or until the mixture becomes very thick. Turn down the heat a bit if necessary to prevent scorching. Reduce the heat to medium and add the broth gradually, stirring. Add the brown sugar and salt. Simmer for another 1 to 2 minutes, or until the mixture has the consistency of a medium-thick sauce. Add salt to taste.
• STEAKS:.
• Place your oven rack 4" from the broiler element and heat broiler on high. Drizzle both sides of your steaks with lime juice and season with salt and pepper to taste. Heat an 11 or 12" skillet (cast iron is ideal here) over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil. Sear the steaks, two at a time, for two minutes per side. Lower the heat as needed, and continue cooking steaks until they are done to your liking (approximately 2 additional minutes on the second side for medium rare). Transfer the first two steaks to a rimmed baking sheet and repeat with remaining 2 steaks.
• Once all the steaks are cooked, turn the heat to medium and pour the chile sauce into the pan. Stir to incorporate any browned bits and drippings into the sauce. Sprinkle the steaks with the Oaxaca cheese, spoon some sauce over them, then top with the cotija. Put the baking sheet under the broiler for about a minute, just to melt the cheese. Serve immediately.

BEEF WITH THREE-CHILE BUTTER

Steps:

• Heat large skillet over medium-high heat. Add guajillo and ancho chile slices. Toast until fragrant and beginning to darken, stirring often, about 30 seconds. Add butter, shallots, and chipotle chiles. Stir just until chiles are coated with butter and shallots begin to soften, about 2 minutes. Add 1 cup water and simmer until dried chiles are soft and all water has evaporated, about 15 minutes. Mix in chives; season with salt. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and chill. Rewarm before using.)
• Preheat oven to 450°F. Coat beef with 3 tablespoons oil, salt, and pepper, then parsley. Heat remaining 3 tablespoons oil in large ovenproof skillet over high heat. Add beef and sear until brown on all sides, about 6 minutes. Transfer skillet with beef to oven. Roast until meat thermometer inserted into center of roast registers 125°F for medium-rare, about 30 minutes. Let beef stand 10 minutes.
• Cut beef into 1/2-inch-thick slices. Spoon chile butter over and serve.

VELVET STEAK WITH KOREAN CHILI BUTTER

Steps:

• Whisk egg whites, cornstarch, rice wine, and soy sauce for marinade together in a bowl until very smooth and foamy.
• Trim silver skin from sirloin steaks. Place steaks between 2 pieces of plastic wrap on a cutting board and pound to a thickness of about 1/4 inch. Transfer steaks to a rimmed plate and lightly sprinkle both sides with kosher salt.
• Pour marinade over top and flip a few times to make sure steaks are well coated on both sides. Cover with plastic wrap, or transfer steaks and marinade to a zip-top bag, and refrigerate for 6 to 12 hours, flipping once or twice while marinating.
• Mix butter, chili paste, salt, and green onions for chili butter together in a small bowl. Taste and adjust if needed. Set aside at either room temperature or in the refrigerator until needed.
• Remove steaks from the refrigerator and toss a few more times in the marinade.

• Remove from heat and place steaks on warm plates. Let rest for 3 to 4 minutes. Top with chili butter and green onions.
