FLAT IRON STEAK WITH CAULIFLOWER AND ARUGULA

Steps:

• Heat a large skillet over medium-high. Season steaks with salt and pepper. Place in skillet, and cook until medium-rare, 5 to 6 minutes per side (reduce heat if browning too quickly). Transfer to a cutting board (reserve skillet), and tent with aluminum foil to keep warm.
• Add cauliflower, garlic, and 1/2 cup water to skillet; season with salt and pepper. Cook, tossing occasionally, until cauliflower is browned and crisp-tender, 8 to 10 minutes. (If bottom of skillet becomes too dry, add 1/4 cup more water.)
• Meanwhile, in a large bowl, whisk together lemon juice and oil; season with salt and pepper. Add arugula, hot cauliflower, and Parmesan to dressing in bowl; toss (arugula will wilt). Serve steaks and vegetables together; garnish with lemon wedges.

SAUTEED FLANK STEAK WITH ARUGULA AND ROASTED CAULIFLOWER AND RED PEPPERS

Steps:

• Put oven rack in upper third of oven and preheat oven to 500°F.
• Toss cauliflower, bell peppers, and garlic with olive oil, 1 teaspoon thyme, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a large bowl. Spread in a large shallow baking pan (at least 15 by 10 inches) and roast, turning over once or twice, until vegetables are tender and slightly charred, 25 to 30 minutes.
• While vegetables roast, heat a dry 10-inch heavy skillet (not nonstick; preferably cast-iron) over moderately high heat until hot, about 3 minutes. Meanwhile, stir together remaining teaspoon thyme, teaspoon pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a small bowl. Pat steak dry and rub both sides with thyme mixture.
• Add vegetable oil to hot skillet, then add steak and sauté, turning over once, 5 to 7 minutes total for medium-rare. Transfer to a cutting board and let stand, loosely covered with foil, 5 minutes.
• Reserve roasted garlic cloves and 1 cup roasted bell peppers. Toss arugula with remaining roasted vegetables in pan to wilt, then transfer to a platter.
• Blend reserved garlic and bell peppers with broth, vinegar, and salt and pepper to taste in a blender until smooth. Transfer sauce to a small bowl or sauceboat.
• Holding a knife at a 45-degree angle, cut steak across the grain into thin slices and arrange on platter with vegetables. Pour any juices accumulated on cutting board over meat and serve sauce on the side.

GRILLED FILET STEAK AND ARUGULA

Steps:

• Prepare a charcoal grill with hot coals or turn a gas grill to medium-high heat.
• 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 fleur de sel and cracked pepper.
• Meanwhile, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, mustard, kosher salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Set aside.
• When the grill is ready, place the steaks on the grill. Cook them for 5 minutes on each side for medium-rare or until the centers of the steaks register 125 degrees on an instant-read -thermometer. Remove to a plate, cover tightly with foil, and allow to rest for 10 minutes before slicing thickly.
• Toss the arugula in a large bowl with enough of the dressing to moisten; divide among 4 plates. Place a steak on top of each salad. Shave the Parmesan onto each steak with a vegetable peeler, sprinkle with salt, and serve hot.

FLAT IRON STEAK WITH CABERNET SAUCE

Steps:

• Take the steak out of the refrigerator 20 minutes before you are ready to cook it so that it can come to room temperature. This will help it cook more evenly.
• In a small pot over high heat, add the broth and wine and simmer until reduced by half, about 10 minutes.
• Heat oil in a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat until it is very hot. Season the steak with the grill seasoning and put it in the skillet. Cook about 3 minutes per side for medium-rare. Remove it from the pan, cover it with foil, and let it rest for 5 minutes while you finish the sauce.
• Reduce the heat under the skillet to medium and add the shallots. Cook until they begin to soften, about 3 minutes. Add the reduced broth and wine mixture and cook until thickened, about for about 5 minutes. Stir in the butter and cook until the butter is melted and incorporated into the sauce. Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper, if needed.
• Slice the steak against the grain into thin slices, arrange them on a serving platter and serve with the sauce on the side or poured over top.

FOOLPROOF FLAT IRON STEAKS

Steps:

• Place steaks, balsamic vinegar, olive oil, green onions, garlic, soy sauce, thyme, mustard, and black pepper in an extra large resealable plastic bag, squeeze out excess air, and seal the bag. Knead the bag with your hands to distribute ingredients evenly and completely coat the steaks. Marinate in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
• Preheat grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate. Remove steaks from refrigerator and let sit at room temperature for 10 minutes.
• Remove steaks from bag and discard marinade.
• Cook steaks on the preheated grill until they start to firm and are reddish-pink and juicy in the center, 6 to 7 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 130 degrees F (54 degrees C). Remove steaks to a plate and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

ROASTED PARMESAN CAULIFLOWER STEAKS #RAGU

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to boil. Cut the rounded sides off the cauliflower. Cut each center piece in half lengthwise in order to make 2 steaks. Make sure to carefully remove any green, leafy bottoms from the cauliflower steaks.
• Rinse off the steaks and the florets. Place in boiling water for 5-7 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in a bowl, mix the buttermilk, italian seasoning, red pepper flakes, and 1 tsp of salt together. Set aside. Pulse together 2 cups arugula, pine nuts, 1/4 cup parmesan, garlic, basil, remaining salt, pepper, and 1/2 cup olive oil for 30 seconds; set aside.
• Drain the cauliflower, and place them into a large gallon plastic, resealable bag. Reserve 1/2 cup of boiling water. Pour the buttermilk marinade into the bag, and coat the cauliflower very well. Marinate the steaks for an hour by laying the bag flat. Carefully, flipping the bag over halfway through.
• Preheat oven to 450F degrees. Mix the remaining parmesan with the breadcrumbs. Set aside for dredging along with the flour and egg wash.
• Remove the cauliflower steaks from the bag. Drain. Dredge one side of each steak in flour, egg wash, and lastly, parmesan bread crumbs. Place the steaks dredged side up on a baking rack along with the other marinated florets. Place the baking rack in a cookie sheet to catch any drippings.
• Roast on 450F degrees for 30 minutes, covered. Uncover for the last 15 minutes until fork tender.
• In an electric blender, blend all the smaller roasted florets, the Ragú pasta sauce, and reserved water until smooth. Heat stovetop on medium-high heat. Assemble each plate with sauce, pesto, a cauliflower steak, and additional arugula.

• Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat; cook steak just until outside is browned and seared, about 1 minute per side. Continue to cook until desired doneness is reached, about 5 minutes more per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 140 degrees F (60 degrees C). Remove skillet from heat and allow steak to rest before cutting, 3 to 5 minutes. Sprinkle sesame seeds over steak.
