CROCK POT SALSA STEAKS



Crock Pot Salsa Steaks image

This was a throw-together dish that resulted from defrosted meat, no fresh veggies, and a deep desire to break out my crock pot. The meat was falling apart tender (enough so that my 14 month old could eat it with no problems) and the juice was perfect over mashed potatoes. I'm sure you could use more steaks that what I did for the amount of juice, but this is typed out just as I made it.

Low 'n' slow rib steak with Cuban mojo salsa image

This recipe guarantees steak heaven without the stress, the cooking method means it will never overcook. Served with a chilli, lime and coriander salsa - this is a treat for two!

Provided by Cassie Best

Categories     Dinner, Main course

Time 3h40m

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 rib steak on the bone or côte du boeuf (about 800g)
1 tbsp rapeseed oil
1 garlic clove
2 thyme sprigs
25g butter , chopped into small pieces
sweet potato fries
a dressed salad , to serve
2 limes
1 small orange
½ small bunch mint , finely chopped
small bunch coriander , finely chopped
4 spring onions , finely chopped
1 small garlic clove , crushed
1 fat green chilli , finely chopped
4 tbsp extra virgin rapeseed oil or olive oil

Steps:

  • Leave the beef at room temperature for about 1 hr before you cook it. Heat oven to 60C/40C fan/gas 1 /4 if you like your beef medium rare, or 65C/45C fan/gas 1 /4 for medium. (Cooking at these low temperatures will be more accurate in an electric oven than in a gas one. If using gas, put the oven on the lowest setting you have, and be aware that the cooking time may be shorter.)
  • Put the unseasoned beef in a heavy-based ovenproof frying pan. Cook in the middle of the oven for 3 hrs undisturbed.
  • Meanwhile, make the salsa. Zest the limes and orange into a bowl. Cut each in half and place, cut-side down, in a hot pan. Cook for a few mins until the fruits are charred, then squeeze the juice into the bowl. Add the other ingredients and season well.
  • When the beef is cooked, it should look dry on the surface, and dark pink in colour. If you have a meat thermometer, test the internal temperature - it should be 58-60C. Remove the pan from the oven and set over a high heat on the hob. Add the oil and sear the meat on both sides for a few mins until caramelised. Sear the fat for a few mins too. Smash the garlic clove with the heel of your hand and add this to the pan with the thyme and butter. When the butter is foaming, spoon it over the beef and cook for another 1-2 mins. Transfer the beef to a warm plate, cover with foil, and leave to rest for 5-10 mins. Carve away from the bone and into slices before serving with the salsa, fries and salad.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of meat: Cube steaks are typically made from top round steak, which is a lean and flavorful cut. However, you can also use other cuts of beef, such as sirloin or flank steak.
  • Tenderize the meat: Pounding the meat with a meat mallet helps to break down the connective tissue and make it more tender. You can also marinate the meat in a flavorful marinade for several hours or overnight.
  • Cook the meat over medium-high heat: This will help to sear the meat and lock in the juices. Be sure to cook the meat until it is cooked through but not overcooked.
  • Make a flavorful salsa: The salsa is what really makes this dish special. Be sure to use fresh, ripe tomatoes and onions. You can also add other ingredients to your salsa, such as cilantro, jalapenos, or corn.
  • Serve the salsa cube steaks with your favorite sides: Rice, beans, and tortillas are all great options.

Conclusion:

Salsa cube steaks are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The combination of tender beef and flavorful salsa is sure to please everyone at the table.
