STEAKHOUSE STEAKS



Steakhouse Steaks image

Provided by Ina Garten

Time 37m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

4 (2-inch-thick) filets mignons, tied (10 ounces each)
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 tablespoons fine fleur de sel
2 tablespoons coarsely cracked black peppercorns
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, at room temperature

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
  • Heat a large cast-iron skillet over high heat for 5 to 7 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, pat dry the filets mignons with paper towels. Brush the filets lightly all over with the oil. Combine the fleur de sel and cracked pepper on a plate and roll the filets on all sides in the mixture, pressing lightly to help the salt and pepper adhere. The steaks should be evenly coated with the salt and pepper.
  • When the pan is extremely hot, add the steaks and sear evenly on all sides (top, bottom, and sides) for about 2 minutes per side. (Be sure the cooking area is well ventilated.) You'll probably need about 3 turns to sear the sides and about 10 minutes total.
  • Remove the pan from the heat and arrange all the filets flat in the pan. Top each with a tablespoon of butter, then place the pan in the oven. Cook the filets for 8 to 12 minutes to 120 degrees for rare and 125 degrees for medium-rare. Remove the steaks to a platter, cover tightly with aluminum foil, and allow to rest for 5 to 10 minutes.

MUSTARD-MARINATED FLANK STEAK

Categories     main-dish

Time 2h40m

Yield 4 to 5 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 flank steak (2 to 2 1/2 pounds)
1/3 cup dry white wine
1/3 cup good olive oil
1/3 cup Dijon mustard
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/3 cup chopped shallots (2 shallots)
1 tablespoon minced garlic (3 cloves)
2 tablespoons coarsely chopped fresh tarragon leaves

Steps:

  • Place the steak flat in a large nonreactive dish such as glass or porcelain. Using the tip of a sharp knife, lightly score the top of the steak diagonally in a large crisscross pattern to make what looks like 1-inch diamonds across the steak. This allows the marinade to penetrate into the meat.
  • In a 2-cup measuring cup, whisk together the wine, olive oil, mustard, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Stir in the shallots and garlic. Pour the marinade over and under the steak until it's completely coated. Scatter the tarragon on top. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and allow it to marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours but preferably overnight.
  • Half an hour before serving, remove the steak from the refrigerator and heat a charcoal grill with a layer of hot coals. (You can also set a gas grill on medium-high heat.) Sprinkle the steak with 1 teaspoon salt and 1 teaspoon pepper. Discard the remaining marinade.
  • Grill the steak for about 5 minutes per side for medium-rare. Place the steak on a clean plate, cover tightly with aluminum foil, and allow to rest for 10 minutes. Slice the steak thin, cutting diagonally across the grain. Sprinkle with salt and serve hot.

GRILLED NEW YORK STRIP STEAKS

Categories     main-dish

Time 2h45m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 teaspoons light brown sugar
2 teaspoons ground coffee (regular or decaf)
1 teaspoon (dried) granulated garlic
1 teaspoon chipotle chile powder
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
3 (1 1/2-inch-thick) New York strip steaks
1 1/2 tablespoons good olive oil

Steps:

  • In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons salt, 1 tablespoon black pepper, the brown sugar, coffee, garlic, chipotle powder, and red pepper flakes. Pat the steaks dry with paper towels, place them in a baking dish, and rub them all over with the olive oil. Rub the steaks on both sides with the spice mix, using it all. Cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to get into the meat.
  • When ready to cook, heat enough charcoal to cover half of the grill (I fill a charcoal chimney 3/4 full). Pour a layer of hot coals on one side of the grill, leaving the other side empty.
  • Cook the steaks on the hot side of the grill for exactly 2 minutes on one side, turn them over, and cook for exactly 2 minutes on the other side. Move the steaks to the cool side of the grill, put the lid on, check to be sure the vents are open, and cook for 8 to 10 minutes, until an instant-read thermometer inserted sideways into the middle of the steak registers between 115 and 120 degrees for medium rare and 120 and 125 degrees for medium. Transfer the steaks to a plate, cover the plate tightly with aluminum foil, and allow to rest for 15 minutes. Remove the foil after 15 minutes or the steaks will continue to cook. Slice the steaks, sprinkle with salt, and serve hot or warm.

STEAK WITH BERNAISE

Categories     main-dish

Time 25m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/4 cup Champagne or white wine vinegar
1/4 cup good white wine
2 tablespoons minced shallots
3 tablespoons chopped fresh tarragon leaves, divided
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
3 extra-large egg yolks*
1/2 pound (2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted
6 (1-inch thick) rib eye steaks
Olive Oil
Coarsely ground black pepper

Steps:

  • For the sauce, put the Champagne vinegar, white wine, shallots, 1 tablespoon tarragon leaves, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil and simmer over medium heat for about 5 minutes, until the mixture is reduced to a few tablespoons. Cool slightly.
  • Place the cooled mixture with the egg yolks and 1 teaspoon salt in the jar of a blender and blend for 30 seconds. With blender on, slowly pour the hot butter through the opening in the lid. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of tarragon leaves and blend only for a second. If the sauce is too thick, add a tablespoon of white wine to thin. Keep at room temperature until serving.
  • Season the steaks liberally with salt and coarsely ground black pepper on both sides. Heat a thin layer of olive oil in a large saute pan over high heat until it's almost smoking, then sear the steaks on each side for 1 minute. Lower the heat to low and cook the steaks for about 7 to 10 minutes, turning once, until very rare in the middle. Remove to a plate, cover tightly with aluminum foil and allow to sit for 10 minutes. Serve with the bernaise sauce on the side.
  • Note: To make the sauce in advance, prepare an hour before serving and allow it to sit in the blender. Before serving, add 1 tablespoon of the hottest tap water and blend for a few seconds.

STEAKHOUSE STEAK FROM BAREFOOT CONTESSA



Steakhouse Steak from Barefoot Contessa image

Wow, what a wonderful special occasion entree! I love many of Ina Garten's recipes. You can use grey sea salt if desired or even Kosher salt, but cut back if using Kosher salt. Also Maytag cheese can be used instead of the Roquefort. We served this with a side of sauteed mushrooms, roasted asparagus and garlic mashed potatoes. Yummmmy!!! Total cooking and prep time is 70 minutes.

Tips:

  • Choose the right steak: Look for a steak that is at least 1 inch thick and has good marbling. This will ensure that the steak is juicy and flavorful.
  • Season the steak generously: Season the steak with salt, pepper, and any other desired spices or herbs. This will help to enhance the flavor of the steak.
  • Bring the steak to room temperature before cooking: This will help the steak to cook evenly.
  • Sear the steak over high heat: This will create a nice crust on the outside of the steak while keeping the inside juicy.
  • Reduce the heat and cook the steak to your desired doneness: Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the steak to ensure that it is cooked to your liking.
  • Let the steak rest before serving: This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the steak, making it more tender and flavorful.

Conclusion:

Making a steakhouse steak at home is not as difficult as you might think. By following these tips, you can create a delicious and juicy steak that will impress your friends and family. So next time you're in the mood for a steak, don't go out to a restaurant - make one at home!
