Provided by Giada De Laurentiis

Categories     main-dish

Time 55m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

One 3-pound center cut tenderloin roast, brought to room temperature 30 minutes before cooking
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 1/2 teaspoons coarse ground black pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil
Flake salt, to finish
4 small bunches scallions or ramps, trimmed
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
2 teaspoons plus 1/3 cup olive oil
2 tablespoons whole-grain mustard
2 1/2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar

Steps:

  • For the tenderloin: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Dry the tenderloin well with paper towels and sprinkle evenly with the salt and pepper. Heat a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Add the oil to the hot skillet followed by the tenderloin. Cook, turning every 4 minutes, until the tenderloin is an even, deep golden brown, about 12 minutes. Place the skillet in the oven until an instant-read thermometer reads 120 degrees F, or about 30 minutes for medium-rare . Remove to a platter to rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
  • For the sauce: Meanwhile, preheat a grill for cooking at medium-high heat.
  • Sprinkle the scallions with 1 teaspoon salt and 2 teaspoons olive oil. Place on the hot grill and cook until wilted and slightly charred, about 3 minutes per side. (Place a pan lid on top of the scallions if they are not browning enough.) Remove the charred scallions to a cutting board and roughly chop. Add the charred scallions to a bowl along with the mustard, vinegar, remaining 1/3 cup olive oil and remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt. Stir to combine.
  • Sprinkle the tenderloin with flake salt and serve with the scallion sauce.

  • Slice the tomatoes and season with salt and pepper. Thinly slice the steak against the grain. Serve with the tomatoes and salsa verde.

PAN-SEARED STEAK WITH RED WINE SAUCE



Pan-Seared Steak With Red Wine Sauce image

You can use any cut of steak, either bone-in or boneless, to make this classic French bistro dish. Steaks cut from the tenderloin, such as filet mignon, are the most tender pieces of beef, though they lack the assertively beefy chew of sirloins and rib steaks. Adding brandy to the pan sauce not only contributes flavor; its high alcohol content and acidity help extract flavor from the pan drippings. However, if setting it on fire makes you nervous, skip that step and let the brandy simmer down for an extra few minutes to cook off most of the alcohol. Make sure to open a good bottle of red wine to use in the sauce here, preferably one that you're happy to finish off with dinner. This recipe is part of The New Essentials of French Cooking, a guide to definitive dishes every modern cook should master. Buy the book.

Categories     dinner, steaks and chops, main course

Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

Kosher salt, as needed
Freshly ground black pepper, as needed
1 1/2 pounds boneless steak, or 1 3/4 pounds bone-in steak (1 1/2 inches thick)
2 shallots
2 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 teaspoon neutral oil, such as grapeseed
2 tablespoons good brandy, preferably Cognac
1/3 cup dry red wine
1/3 cup beef or chicken stock, preferably homemade
1 tablespoon chopped chives
Watercress, for serving

Steps:

  • Generously sprinkle salt and pepper all over steaks, then let steaks rest uncovered for 15 minutes at room temperature. Meanwhile, mince the shallots.
  • Melt 1/2 tablespoon butter and the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until almost smoking. Add steaks and cook until done to taste, about 3 to 4 minutes per side for rare and a little longer for medium-rare or medium. (Bone-in steaks take a few minutes longer to cook through than boneless.) If the pan begins to smoke or burn, lower the heat. Transfer steaks to a plate to rest while you prepare the sauce.
  • Add shallots to the skillet and cook over medium heat until lightly browned, about 1 minute. Add brandy to the skillet and use a long-handled match or igniter to set the brandy on fire. (Stand back when you do this.) Let flames die out, then add red wine and cook until reduced and syrupy, 2 to 4 minutes. Add stock and boil until reduced and thickened, 3 to 4 minutes longer.
  • Remove pan from heat and whisk in remaining 2 tablespoons butter and the chives. Serve steaks and sauce immediately with watercress.

SKIRT STEAK WITH SALSA VERDE SALAD



Skirt Steak With Salsa Verde Salad image

Salsa verde made with scallions, mint, parsley, capers and garlic becomes both the marinade for the steak and the dressing for the greens in this summery dinner salad. For extra smoky flavor, try grilling the romaine hearts (drizzle with olive oil and grill, cut side down, until lightly charred). Or, if you love bitter greens, substitute roughly chopped escarole leaves for the romaine.

Categories     dinner, meat, salads and dressings, vegetables, main course

Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 1/2 pounds skirt steak
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 cup red-wine vinegar
1/4 cup thinly sliced scallions (about 2)
2 tablespoons capers, drained and roughly chopped
1 tablespoon minced garlic (about 2 large cloves)
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more to taste
1/2 teaspoon black pepper, plus more to taste
2 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint
1/4 cup toasted pine nuts
2 romaine hearts
1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese (about 3 ounces)

Steps:

  • If necessary, cut the steak crosswise into large pieces that will fit into a shallow, nonreactive dish. Transfer the steaks to the dish. In a glass measuring cup or bowl, whisk together the olive oil, vinegar, scallions, capers, garlic, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Pour about 1/3 of the dressing (about 1/3 cup) over the steak and turn to coat both sides.
  • Add the parsley and 1 tablespoon mint to the reserved dressing, stir, and set aside until ready to use. Cover and refrigerate the steak for at least 30 minutes or up to 24 hours. (If marinating the steak overnight, cover and refrigerate the reserved dressing.)
  • In a small sautĂ© pan set over medium heat, toast the pine nuts, tossing often, until golden brown, about 3 minutes. Set aside.
  • Set the grill to medium-high heat, or heat a grill pan on the stovetop over medium-high. Pat the steaks dry with a paper towel and grill for 3 to 5 minutes on each side for medium-rare. Transfer to a plate, sprinkle with salt, and allow to rest for 10 minutes.
  • While the steak rests, cut the romaine hearts lengthwise into quarters. Arrange the romaine hearts in one layer on a large platter, leaving room on one side for the steak. Sprinkle the feta, pine nuts and the remaining 1 tablespoon mint over the romaine. Slice the steak crosswise into 3-inch pieces, then slice against the grain to cut the steak into wide strips. Arrange the sliced steak on the platter, then drizzle the reserved dressing over the romaine and steak. Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of steak: For pan-searing, choose a steak that is at least 1 inch thick and has good marbling. This will help to ensure that the steak is tender and juicy.
  • Season the steak properly: Before cooking, season the steak with salt, pepper, and any other desired spices. This will help to enhance the flavor of the steak.
  • Use a heavy-bottomed pan: A heavy-bottomed pan will help to evenly distribute the heat and prevent the steak from sticking.
  • Sear the steak over high heat: When searing the steak, use high heat to quickly brown the outside of the steak. This will help to lock in the juices and create a flavorful crust.
  • Reduce the heat and cook the steak to your desired doneness: Once the steak is seared, reduce the heat to medium-low and cook the steak to your desired doneness. Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the steak is cooked to your liking.
  • Let the steak rest before serving: After cooking, let the steak rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help to allow the juices to redistribute throughout the steak, resulting in a more tender and flavorful steak.

Conclusion:

Pan-seared steak with salsa verde is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion. By following these tips, you can ensure that your steak is cooked to perfection and that the salsa verde is flavorful and vibrant. So next time you're looking for a delicious and impressive steak recipe, give this one a try!
