Best 6 Beef Scallops With Fresh Tomato Sauce Recipes

CREAMY PAN-ROASTED SCALLOPS WITH FRESH TOMATOES

Steps:

• Heat a large skillet over medium-high and add the butter, letting it melt. Add shallots, celery seeds and a pinch each salt and pepper, and cook until the shallots are tender and opaque, about 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in tomatoes. Bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally, and cook until jammy, 9 to 13 minutes.
• Increase heat to medium-high and stir in vermouth. Cook until about a third of the liquid evaporates, about 5 minutes. Add Worcestershire and cream, and simmer, reducing heat if needed and stirring occasionally, until sauce thickens enough to coat a spoon, 5 to 7 minutes.
• Season scallops with salt and pepper, and add to the pan. Cook, uncovered, until scallops are just cooked through and opaque, 3 to 6 minutes, depending on the size of the scallops. Stir in chives and celery leaves. Serve immediately, garnished with more chives and celery leaves.

SCALLOPS WITH FRESH TOMATO SAUCE

Steps:

• Make the sauce: Add all ingredients to a bowl.
• Let it sit at room temperature for 1 hour, then start the scallops.
• Dredge the scallops in flour mixed with salt and pepper, shaking off excess.
• Heat olive oil in a pan.
• Add scallops and sauté 2-3 minutes.
• Turn over and cook 3 minutes more until browned.
• To serve, place 2 romaine leaves on a plate.
• Top lettuce with 4-5 tablespoons of sauce.
• Add 3 scallops to each plate and garnish with a lemon wedge and parsley.

SEA SCALLOPS WITH GARLIC AND TOMATOES

Steps:

• Place the scallops in a bowl, and add the milk. Stir to coat, and let stand briefly.
• Place the flour in a flat dish. Add salt and pepper; blend well. Drain the scallops, and dredge them in the flour mixture. Place the flour-coated scallops in a large sieve. Shake to remove any excess flour. Scatter the scallops onto a sheet of foil or wax paper so that they do not touch, or they may stick together.
• Heat the olive oil in a saucepan. Add the garlic, tomatoes, salt and pepper. Add the vinegar, and bring to a sizzle. Simmer for 2 minutes.
• Heat the vegetable oil over high heat in a nonstick skillet large enough to hold the scallops in one layer. Add the scallops, and cook, stirring, until lightly browned, about 4 minutes. Spoon equal portions of the scallops onto warm plates, and pour some of the tomato sauce over each portion. Sprinkle each with an equal amount of chopped basil or parsley, and serve with noodles.

SCALLOPS IN TOMATO SAUCE

Steps:

• Shell scallops.
• Slice each one in half horizontally and marinate the slices with half of the lemon juice and grated zest for 10-15 minutes.
• Heat oil on low and cook shallot or onion until tender.
• Add the tomatoes, salt and pepper, thyme, bayleaf and garlic.
• Cover and simmer mixture for 10 minutes.
• Remove lid and increase heat to high, to reduce the liquid quantity to half.
• Remove sprig of thyme and bay leaf.
• Press the sauce through a sieve into a frying pan.
• Bring the tomato sauce back to a simmer.
• Remove scallops from marinade.
• Place on a paper towel to remove excess marinade.
• Add the zest of a lemon and the scallops to the sauce.
• Gently poach them for 2 minutes, being careful not to allow the sauce to boil.

SEARED SCALLOPS WITH PAN SAUCE

Steps:

• Cut 2 tablespoons of the butter into pea-sized pieces, put it on a small plate, and stick it in the freezer. Heat a large skillet over medium-heat high for 3 or 4 minutes. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon butter and the olive oil and wait for the butter to melt.
• Pat the scallops dry with paper towels, add them to the pan and sprinkle with salt and pepper; work in batches if necessary to avoid crowding the skillet. Cook, turning once, until they are well browned on both sides but not quite cooked through, 2 minutes per side (less if the scallops are under 1 inch across; more if they're over). Transfer the scallops to a plate.
• Stir in the garlic, lemon juice, and wine and scrape all the brown bits off the bottom of the skillet with a spatula. Lower the heat to medium and cook until the liquid in the skillet thickens, a minute or two, then whisk in the butter you chilled in the freezer, one bit at a time, to make a creamy sauce, adding another tablespoon or two of liquid if necessary.
• Return the scallops to the skillet and add the chives. Adjust the heat so the sauce bubbles gently and toss to coat the scallops with the sauce. To serve, transfer the scallops to a platter and spoon the sauce over all.
• Variation:
• Seared Scallops With Cherry Tomatoes and Basil: Skip the lemon juice. Cut 1 pint cherry tomatoes in half. Add the tomatoes with the garlic and wine and cook until they wrinkle a bit and release their juice, 2 or 3 minutes. Use chopped fresh basil leaves instead of chives.
• Cooks' Notes
• Releasing From The Pan: The scallops will offer no resistance when they're ready to turn. Press down gently while the scallops cook to encourage full contact with the pan, then listen for a hiss: That's moisture heating and evaporating.
• Getting A Good Sear: The idea is to brown the scallops well on both sides without overcooking them, so keep the heat as high as you can without creating too much smoke.
• Building Sauce With Butter: After you add the liquid and deglaze the pan, the addition of butter develops fantastic creaminess and richness.
• Finishing The Dish: As soon as the scallops are cooked through completely and coated with the sauce, remove the pan from the heat; they will continue to cook. Nick-and-peek into one if you need to check for doneness.
