RIB-EYE STEAKS WITH THYME-SHALLOT BUTTER, PAPRIKA POTATOES AND ASPARAGUS



Rib-Eye Steaks with Thyme-Shallot Butter, Paprika Potatoes and Asparagus image

We think of rib eye steaks as a special-occasion meal; they are costly and far from lean--but, boy, are they good! This is a meal we might make to celebrate with friends, or just with each other; or on a Friday night to mark the end of a particularly crazy week. Buy rib eyes that are about 1 inch thick. Any thicker than that and the outside might get overdone before the center is medium-rare. The herbed butter takes these steaks to an even more decadent level, but this classic steak-and-potatoes meal is also wonderful without it. You can, of course, make extra herbed butter and keep it in the refrigerator or freezer to use on potatoes, rice, corn, or anything and everything else on which butter gets slathered.

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
1 tablespoon finely chopped shallot
1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme
1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
1 1/4 teaspoons sea salt, divided
1 pound small red potatoes, quartered lengthwise
2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1 teaspoon sweet paprika
3/8 teaspoon ground black pepper, divided
1 pound asparagus, trimmed
2 (1-pound) bone-in rib eye steaks, about 1 inch thick

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Coat a sheet pan with cooking spray.
  • Use a fork to mash the butter with the shallot, thyme, lemon zest and 1/4 teaspoon of the salt in a small bowl. Transfer it to the center of a small sheet of plastic wrap and roll it into a 1-inch-diameter log; twist the ends closed and chill in the freezer to harden until ready to use, at least 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Combine the potatoes with 1 tablespoon of the oil in a bowl. Toss with the paprika, 1/4 teaspoon of the salt and 1/8 teaspoon of the pepper. Arrange the potatoes in a single layer, cut side down, around the edges of the sheet pan. Roast for 20 minutes, rotating the pan front to back after 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, combine the asparagus with 1/4 teaspoon of the salt and the remaining 1 tablespoon oil.
  • After the potatoes have roasted 20 minutes, add the asparagus to the center of the sheet pan. Roast for 10 minutes, until the vegetables are tender. Transfer the potatoes and asparagus to a serving platter and tent with foil to keep warm.
  • Position an oven rack 4 to 5 inches below the heat source and preheat the broiler.
  • Season the steaks with the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper and place them on the sheet pan. Broil, turning them once, until an instant-read thermometer inserted horizontally into the thickest part of the steak registers 130 degrees F for medium-rare, 6 to 8 minutes. Let the steaks rest for 5 minutes, then serve topped with a slice of the butter and a side of potatoes and asparagus.

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 lean skirt steaks trimmed, about 6 ounces each
Salt and freshly ground pepper
1 teaspoon vegetable oil
4 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons finely chopped shallots
1 teaspoon finely chopped garlic
1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves or 1/4 teaspoon dried
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
4 tablespoons finely chopped parsley

Steps:

  • Remove any excess fat from the steaks. Sprinkle the meat on both sides with salt and pepper.

SKIRT STEAK WITH SHALLOTS

Categories     Sauce     Side     Steak     Shallot

Yield serves 4 to 6

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 tablespoon canola oil, plus more if needed
1 1/2 pounds skirt steak
Coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 shallots, peeled and thinly sliced
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
1/4 cup dry red wine

Steps:

  • To cook the steak, in a heavy-duty skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat until shimmering. Season the steaks with salt and pepper. Add the meat to the skillet without crowding, in batches, if necessary, and cook on both sides until well browned and medium-rare, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a warm plate and cover loosely with aluminum foil to keep warm while preparing the sauce.
  • To prepare the sauce, return the pan to the cooktop over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of the butter and the shallots. Cook until the shallots are soft and translucent, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the vinegar and stir to combine. Cook until the vinegar evaporates, 30 to 45 seconds. Add the red wine and cook until reduced by half, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and add the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter; swirl to coat. Taste and adjust for seasoning with salt and pepper.
  • To serve, slice the steak into thin strips against the grain. Overlap the slices on a plate and pour over the red wine glaze.

Tips:

  • Buy a skirt steak that is at least 1 inch thick. This will ensure that the steak is cooked evenly and remains tender.
  • Marinate the steak for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight. This will help to tenderize the steak and infuse it with flavor.
  • Cook the steak over high heat for a short period of time. This will help to create a flavorful crust and prevent the steak from becoming tough.
  • Let the steak rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the steak, resulting in a more tender and flavorful piece of meat.
  • Serve the steak with your favorite sides, such as roasted potatoes, grilled vegetables, or a simple salad.

Conclusion:

Skirt steak is a delicious and affordable cut of meat that can be enjoyed in a variety of ways. By following these tips, you can cook a perfect skirt steak every time. Whether you are grilling, pan-frying, or roasting, be sure to cook the steak over high heat for a short period of time. This will help to create a flavorful crust and prevent the steak from becoming tough. Let the steak rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving to allow the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful piece of meat.
