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.

Categories     World Cuisine Recipes     Latin American     Caribbean

Time 1h5m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 7

½ teaspoon cumin seeds
¼ cup orange juice
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 tablespoons Montreal-style steak seasoning
2 ¼ teaspoons lime juice
1 ½ teaspoons dried oregano
1 ½ pounds beef rib-eye steaks

Steps:

  • Place cumin seeds into a small skillet over medium heat; stir constantly until seeds turn dark brown and smell toasted, about 1 minute. Immediately pour seeds into a bowl to stop the cooking. Mix cumin seeds with orange juice, vegetable oil, steak seasoning, lime juice, and oregano in a bowl.
  • Place steaks into a large resealable plastic bag, pour orange juice marinade over the meat, and squeeze out air. Seal bag and turn it over several times to coat meat with marinade. Refrigerate at least 30 minutes, or longer for extra flavor.
  • Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
  • Remove steaks from marinade, shaking off any excess. Discard used marinade. Grill steaks on the preheated grill until seared on the outsides and still slightly pink in the centers, 6 to 8 minutes per side. An instant-read meat thermometer inserted sideways into the center of the thickest steak should read 145 degrees F (65 degrees C). Let steaks rest for 3 minutes before slicing.

Tips:

  • To make the perfect cube steak, start with thin slices of meat, around ¼ inch or less. This ensures even cooking and tender results.
  • Before cooking, tenderize the meat with a meat mallet or the back of a heavy saucepan. This helps break down the fibers and creates a more tender texture.
  • Season the steak generously with salt, pepper, and any other desired spices or seasonings before cooking. This helps enhance the flavor of the meat.
  • Cook the steak in a hot pan with a little oil or butter. Sear the steak for a few minutes per side until it reaches your desired doneness.
  • Let the steak rest for a few minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful steak.
  • Serve the steak with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a fresh salad.
  • For the Cuban lime mojo sauce, use fresh lime juice, garlic, onion, and cilantro. These ingredients create a bright and flavorful sauce that complements the steak perfectly.
  • Be sure to marinate the steak in the mojo sauce for at least 30 minutes before cooking. This helps infuse the meat with flavor and tenderize it further.

Conclusion:

Cube steak is a versatile and economical cut of meat that can be prepared in a variety of ways. With the right techniques and a delicious marinade like the Cuban lime mojo sauce, you can easily create a tender and flavorful steak that will impress your family and friends. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy weeknight meal, give cube steak a try. You won't be disappointed.
