Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 22

1 roma tomato, diced
1 large shallot, chopped
1 scallion, chopped
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon cracked black pepper
2 cups milk
2 cups water
1 cup yellow cornmeal
1 tablespoon salt
1 tablespoon cracked black pepper
1 cup parmesan cheese, freshly grated, plus more for garnish
2 tablespoons butter, unsalted
4 slices bacon, crisp and chopped (for garnish)
1/2 cup A.1. Original Sauce
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon agave nectar
2 scallions, chopped
1 large shallot, sliced
1 tablespoon tarragon
1/2 teaspoon hot sauce
1 lb top round steak

Steps:

  • For Tomato Relish:.
  • Add all the ingredients to a bowl and gently toss until incorporated. Set Aside.
  • For Polenta:.
  • In a saucepan over medium-high heat, bring the milk and water to a simmer.
  • Slowly add the corn meal and whisk to combine. Once all of the corn meal has been incorporated, reduce the heat to low. Add salt and pepper. Stir vigorously until all of the liquid has been absorbed and the corn meal is tender, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat.
  • Stir in the Parmesan cheese and butter.
  • For Steak:.
  • Put ½ cup A.1. Original Steak Sauce, 2 tablespoons Brown Sugar, 1 tablespoon Agave Nectar, 2 chopped scallions, 1 large sliced shallot, 1 tablespoon Tarragon. ½ teaspoon Hot Sauce and the 1 lb. Top Round Steak into a zip top bag and refrigerate overnight. Whenever you think about it, go to the fridge and give the bag a couple of squeezes and flip it to the other side. Remove from the fridge to come to room temperature an hour before cooking.
  • When ready to cook, preheat oven to broil.
  • Remove steak from the bag and lay on a piece of foil set on top of a baking sheet. Cook the steak on the top rack of the broiler (4-6 inches from the heat) for 5 minutes per side. Remove from the oven and cover with a foil tent to keep warm and let the juices re-distribute.
  • Pour the remaining marinade in a saucepan, put on the stove over a medium heat, and reduce by half.
  • To Plate:.
  • Scoop about 1 cup of polenta onto each plate. Top with a little crumbled bacon and Parmesan Cheese. Thinly slice the steak on the bias and lay a few strips on top of the polenta. Spoon some of the marinade reduction over the top. Top with a spoonful of tomato relish.

HOW TO MAKE PERFECT POLENTA



How to Make Perfect Polenta image

Polenta is nothing more than coarsely ground cornmeal. The classic ratio is 1 part polenta to 4 parts water, but I like to measure the polenta just a little scant of a full cup. I often use chicken broth instead of water. It's a perfect base for any kind of saucy meat or mushroom ragout.

Categories     Side Dish     Grain Side Dish Recipes     Polenta Recipes

Time 55m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 5

4 cups water
1 teaspoon fine salt
1 cup polenta
3 tablespoons butter, divided
½ cup freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, plus more for garnish

Steps:

  • Bring water and salt to a boil in a large saucepan; pour polenta slowly into boiling water, whisking constantly until all polenta is stirred in and there are no lumps.
  • Reduce heat to low and simmer, whisking often, until polenta starts to thicken, about 5 minutes. Polenta mixture should still be slightly loose. Cover and cook for 30 minutes, whisking every 5 to 6 minutes. When polenta is too thick to whisk, stir with a wooden spoon. Polenta is done when texture is creamy and the individual grains are tender.
  • Turn off heat and gently stir 2 tablespoons butter into polenta until butter partially melts; mix 1/2 cup Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese into polenta until cheese has melted. Cover and let stand 5 minutes to thicken; stir and taste for salt before transferring to a serving bowl. Top polenta with remaining 1 tablespoon butter and about 1 tablespoon freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese for garnish.

Provided by Jodi Taffel

Categories     Sauces

Time 1h20m

Yield 16 mini burgers

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 cup milk
2 cups water
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 tablespoons salt
1 cup polenta
1/2 cup goat cheese
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
4 slices bacon
4 tablespoons brown sugar
1 lb ground turkey
1/4 cup A.1. Original Sauce
1/4 teaspoon cracked black pepper
4 slices sharp cheddar cheese, cut into 4 squares each

Steps:

  • FOR POLENTA CAKES:.
  • Combine milk, water, cayenne and salt in a saucepan over low heat and bring to a boil.
  • Using a whisk, add the polenta. Once the polenta is combined, switch to a wooden spoon and stir frequently until the polenta has become thick and smooth. Stir in the goat cheese. Keep stirring until all the goat cheese is melted and blended in to the polenta.
  • Line a 9x13 pan with plastic wrap. Pour the polenta into the pan, cover with more plastic wrap and smooth the surface. Chill in the refrigerator overnight.
  • When ready to use, remove the polenta from the pan. Using a cookie cutter approximately the same size as the burgers (I used a shot glass), cut 16 polenta cake rounds. add about 1 tablespoon of olive oil to a sauté pan over medium heat, and cook the polenta cakes on both sides until golden brown.
  • FOR BURGERS:.
  • Pre-heat the oven to 400 degrees.
  • Put brown sugar in a shallow bowl or pie plate. Coat the bacon liberally on both sides with the brown sugar. Place bacon on a parchment lined baking sheet and cook in the oven 20 minutes or until bacon is crisp. When the bacon is cool enough to touch, crumble it and set it aside.
  • Add any leftover brown sugar to a bowl with the ground turkey, A1 sauce, and black pepper. Gently mix until all the ingredients are combined.
  • Form the turkey mixture into 16 balls, roughly the same size. Flatten the balls into mini burger shapes. Poke each burger a few times with a toothpick. (This releases air and ensures the burgers don't shrink too much).
  • Pre-heat a non-stickskillet over medium-high heat. Cook the burgers in two batches, 2 minutes per side. During the last 30 seconds, place 1 cheddar cheese square on each burger and put a lid on the pan (to melt the cheese).
  • Place 1 burger on each polenta cake and top with some crumbled bacon. Serve hot.

Tips:

  • To save time, use a pre-made steak marinade or A.1. Steak Sauce.
  • To make the polenta ahead of time, cook it according to package directions and let it cool completely. Then, wrap it tightly in plastic and refrigerate for up to 3 days. When ready to serve, reheat the polenta in a saucepan over low heat, stirring frequently, until warmed through.
  • If you don't have bacon on hand, you can substitute pancetta or prosciutto.
  • To make the polenta even more creamy, add a tablespoon of butter or olive oil to the saucepan while it's cooking.
  • To add a bit of extra flavor to the polenta, stir in some grated Parmesan cheese or chopped fresh herbs.

Conclusion:

This A.1. Marinated Top Round with Bacon Parmesan Polenta is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. The steak is tender and juicy, and the polenta is creamy and flavorful. This dish is sure to please everyone at the table.
