Best 5 Bachelor Steaks Recipes

PAN-SEARED STEAK WITH GARLIC BUTTER

Steps:

• Thoroughly pat steak dry with paper towels. Just before cooking, generously season with 1 1/2 tsp salt and 1 tsp black pepper
• Heat the cast iron pan until hot then add 1/2 Tbsp oil over medium-high heat, swirling to coat. Once the oil is very hot, add steaks to the skillet. Sear the steaks on the first side for 4 minutes until a brown crust has formed then flip and cook another 3-4 minutes. Using tongs, turn the steak on its sides to render the white fat and sear the edges (1-minute per edge).
• Reduce heat to medium and immediately add 2 Tbsp butter, quartered garlic cloves and rosemary to the pan. Spoon the butter sauce over the steak, tilting the pan to get butter on your spoon. Continue spooning the sauce over the steak for a minute or until the steak is about 5-10 degrees from your desired doneness (the temperature will continue to rise another 5-10 degrees while steaks rest).
• Transfer steak to a cutting board, loosely cover and rest 10 minutes before slicing into 1/2" strips to serve. Spoon extra butter sauce over sliced steak to serve.

BACHELOR STEAKS

Steps:

• Five or so hours before dinner, assault both sides the sirloin with a fork with a wide-ranging, rapid-fire motion. We are looking for a tight pattern of 1/2" deep holes covering the whole target.
• Smash the garlic onto a paper plate with the garlic-smashing tool. Throw out the paper stuff, keep the mushy stuff that smells like pizza. (You are not a man if you don't taste it and learn the lesson not to.) Slather the mushy stuff onto the top of the sirloin. We are looking for full, thin coverage here. You'll probably only need 1/2 of a whole garlic for this.
• Put the meat on a plate, garlic side up. Pour equal amounts soy sauce and red wine on it and let it pool up on the top of the oversized meat. Put it in the refrigerator.
• Halfway to dinner time, scrape the garlic to the side of the plate (a putty knife works fine for this), pour the juices somewhere, flip the steak and re-apply both.
• At dinnertime, scrape off the garlic, pour the juices down the drain. Turn grill on high. Apply Steak. First: Searing. Give it about two minutes per side to sear the steak, sealing in the juices.

STRIP STEAKS WITH A SIDE OF BLUE CHEESE SPAGHETTI

Steps:

• Put a large pot of water on the stove to bring to a boil for pasta.
• Preheat broiler to high with rack on top shelf.
• Preheat medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add chopped bacon and cook until crisp.
• Salt water for pasta and add spaghetti to the pot. Cook to al dente, with a bite to it.
• Season the steaks with salt and pepper on both sides and arrange on slotted broiler pan.
• Remove bacon to paper towel lined plate with a slotted spoon and drain off most of the fat, return pan to heat and reduce heat to medium. Add extra-virgin olive oil, 2 turns of the pan and 1 tablespoon butter. When butter melts into extra-virgin olive oil, add in 2 cloves garlic and the shallots, saute for 3 minutes.
• Arrange steaks on the broiler pan. Place under broiler - leave door to oven cracked ajar to limit flare ups and smoke. Cook 4 minutes on each side for medium rare, up to 5 to 6 minutes on each side for medium well doneness.
• To the garlic and shallots, add in flour and cook a minute more. Whisk in stock, bring to a bubble, about 30 seconds then stir in the cream. When cream comes to a bubble, add in blue cheese and sage and a few grinds of black pepper. Stir until cheese melts. Reduce heat to lowest setting.
• Soften 4 tablespoons butter in microwave on high for 15 seconds. Mix in chives and 2 cloves minced garlic and reserve.
• Remove steaks from oven and let rest 5 minutes. Place 1/4 of the chive and garlic butter mixture on each steak to melt down over the meat as they rest.
• Drain pasta and toss with sauce to coat and combine evenly. Taste to adjust seasoning.
• Serve steaks with pasta alongside. Scatter the arugula and bacon bits across the top of the pasta.

BACHELOR'S STEW

Steps:

• 1. Combine bread crumbs with salt and pepper and toss with beef. Place coated beef cubes into a slow cooker and add onion, carrots, celery, basil, tapioca, mushrooms, soy sauce, tomato soup and broth. Stir well, cover and cook on low for 10 to 12 hours, or on high for 3 to 5 hours.

BACHELOR'S SKILLET

Steps:

• First, cut the keilbasa into 1/2 inch thick medalions.
• Heat a medium sized skillet to medium to medium high heat and melt enough butter to just cover the bottom.
• Add the keilbasa and garlic.
• Once the keilbasa starts to brown on one side, add enough beer to just cover the bottom.
• Turn the keilbasa and cook on the other side.
• Now it becomes a matter of personal taste and trial and error.
• I keep adding beer and garlic to taste, the thing you are really looking for is for the beer/butter/garic to caramalize.
• When done, transfer to a plate and sprinkle with the cheese.
• Drink the rest of the beer with your meal.
