FLAT IRON STEAK WITH TANGO SAUCE

Steps:

• Remove the steak from the refrigerator about 20 minutes before cooking, so that it can come to room temperature. This will help the steak cook more evenly. Preheat a grill pan or outdoor grill over medium-high heat.
• In a small bowl combine the paprika, salt and pepper. Generously season the steak with the spice mix. Put on the grill pan and cook until medium-rare, about 4 minutes on each side. Remove from the pan to a cutting board and allow to rest for 5 minutes. Slice against the grain into 1/2-inch thick strips and arrange on a serving platter. Serve topped with tango sauce.
• Tango Sauce:
• Put all the ingredients, except the olive oil, in the bowl of a food processor or blender and pulse to combine. With the machine running, stream in the olive oil until well incorporated. Serve with the steak.

FLATIRON STEAK WITH HERBED RED BLISS POTATOES, RED ONION MARMALADE AND RED WINE DEMI-GLACE

Steps:

• Season the steaks with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Tenderize steaks with meat mallet to break down the muscle and integrate spices into the meat. Place them in a bowl and pour 1/2 cup of the wine over them, letting them marinate, for a minimum of 25 minutes.
• Prepare demi-glace by melting the butter over medium heat in a saucepan and sauteing onion until tender. Whisk in flour with a fork to make a roux, then add 1/2 cup red wine and veal stock. Let simmer over medium heat until reduced by 1/3, stirring occasionally.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In a large bowl, coat potatoes with 1/2 cup of the canola oil and toss with 2 tablespoons salt, 1 tablespoon pepper, fresh thyme, and fresh rosemary. Place the potatoes in a baking pan and roast them in the oven until tender, about 35 to 45 minutes.
• In a hot skillet, heat the onions (heat them dry with no oil) for about 3 minutes. The idea is to remove the liquid from the onions, by "sweating them down." Add the honey, vinegar, remaining 1/2 cup wine, hot sauce and grape jelly, and stir well. Reduce over medium low heat until there is no liquid left in the pan and marmalade mixture is tacky.
• When the potatoes have been roasting for about 1/2 hour, heat 1/4 cup canola oil in a saute pan. Sear both sides of the steak in the hot pan until golden brown, but do not cook beyond medium, or the steak may become tough. To finish the demi-glace, remove from heat and whisk the butter into the warm reduction. Arrange potatoes around the meat and top meat with marmalade. Drizzle with demi-glace sauce.

WHISKEY GLAZED FLAT IRON STEAKS AND GRILLED POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat a grill on medium-high heat. Whisk together the whiskey, brown sugar, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1 teaspoon pepper until the sugar and salt are dissolved. Stir in 2 tablespoons of the oil and the garlic. Add the steaks, turn a few times to coat with the marinade and let stand at room temperature for 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, quarter each potato lengthwise to form wedges and put in a medium pot. Cover with cold water to cover by 1-inch and add salt until the water tastes like sea water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, reduce the heat to medium and simmer until tender (but not falling apart), about 15 minutes. Drain well. Toss with 1 tablespoon olive oil.
• Remove the steaks from the marinade and pat dry with paper towels. Pour the marinade into a small pot and bring to a boil. Boil for 2 to 3 minutes until slightly reduced, making sure the sugar does not burn, to make a glaze and sauce for the steak.
• Grill the steaks until an internal temperature on an instant-read thermometer reads about 130 degrees F, 3 to 4 minutes per side, brushing with the boiled marinade several times in the last few minutes of grilling time. (If you are cooking the filet mignon steaks, you will need to increase this time to 8 to 10 minutes per side to account for the thicker cut). Transfer to a large plate to rest for 5 to 10 minutes. While the steaks grill, add the potatoes to the grill and grill until well-marked and crispy, turning to grill all sides, about 5 minutes total. Transfer the potato wedges to a bowl.
• Toss the grilled potatoes with the remaining 1 tablespoon oil, chives, vinegar and salt and pepper to taste. Remove the garlic cloves from the remaining glaze and serve drizzled over the steaks with the potatoes on the side.

BUTTER-BASTED FLAT IRON STEAK WITH TOMATO BUTTER SAUCE AND PARSLEY NOODLES

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
• Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. When it?s hot, add the oil. Sprinkle the steaks with salt and pepper and cook 2 steaks until browned on one side, about 4 minutes. Remove the steaks from the skillet. Add the 2 remaining steaks and cook until browned on one side, about 4 minutes. Flip these steaks and return the first 2 steaks to the skillet, raw-side down. Add 2 tablespoons of the butter and the thyme. Once the butter melts, tilt the skillet slightly to pool the liquid, then constantly spoon the butter over the steaks until the meat is medium-rare, about 4 minutes more. Transfer the steaks to a rimmed plate to rest, reserving the skillet.
• Add the pasta to the boiling water and cook according to package directions. Reserve 1/4 cup of the cooking water and drain the pasta. Return the pasta to the pot and toss with 2 tablespoons of the butter and the parsley.
• Put the tomatoes in the same skillet used to cook the steaks and cook over medium heat until blackened in spots and softened, about 4 minutes. When the tomatoes are very soft, remove the thyme sprigs and carefully mash the tomatoes with a slotted spoon or potato masher. Stir in the remaining 2 tablespoons butter and the vinegar until incorporated, adding up to 1/4 cup pasta cooking water if necessary to make a smooth sauce. Season with 1/2 teaspoon salt.
• Slice the steaks thinly against the grain and add any juices that accumulate to the tomato butter sauce. Divide the sliced steak among 4 plates and spoon some tomato butter sauce over the top. Serve with the noodles.
