GRILLED FLORENTINE-STYLE STEAKS



Grilled Florentine-Style Steaks image

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 1h20m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 2-to-3-pound porterhouse or T-bone steaks (about 1 1/2 inches thick)
2 cloves garlic, smashed
Vegetable oil, for the grill
Coarse sea salt and freshly ground pepper
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 lemon, cut into wedges (optional)

Steps:

  • Refrigerate the steaks, uncovered, at least 4 hours or overnight. (This dries out the meat's surface so it develops a better char.)
  • Prepare a grill for indirect heat: For gas, preheat to medium high, 30 minutes, then turn off the burners on one side and turn the other burners to medium low. For charcoal, once the coals ash over, push them to one side. Rub the steaks with the garlic and let sit at room temperature, 30 minutes.
  • Brush the grill grates with vegetable oil. Sear the steaks over direct heat until charred on the bottom, 5 to 10 minutes. Turn, season with salt and pepper and char the other side, 5 to 10 more minutes. Turn the steaks again and transfer to the cooler side of the grill with the smaller ends away from the heat. Season the steaks with salt and pepper and grill, turning every 2 minutes, until a thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the meat registers 125 degrees F for medium rare, 8 to 12 minutes.
  • Transfer the steaks to a cutting board and let rest 10 minutes before slicing. Season with salt and pepper and drizzle with the olive oil. Serve with lemon wedges, if desired.

GRILLED TROUT FLORENTINE



Grilled Trout Florentine image

I got this recipe at elk camp north of Bayfield, Colorado more years ago than I care to remember.While us 'manly types' were hunting, Gus, our camp cook spent his spare time fishing. He never ceased to amaze me with the things he hauled out the drawers and bins of his chuck trailer. In the middle of nowhere he had fresh spinach to make this wonderful dish. Until then the only way I'd had trout was breaded and pan fried. This was the start of my lessons in some of the better ways to prepare trout. The lessons haven't stopped since then, thank you very much.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of ham: Look for a boneless, fully cooked ham that is labeled "Florentine" or "Ham Florentine." This type of ham is typically smoked and seasoned with a blend of herbs and spices, giving it a delicious and unique flavor.
  • Prepare the grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If you are using a charcoal grill, let the coals burn until they are white-hot.
  • Score the ham: Use a sharp knife to score the surface of the ham in a diamond pattern. This will help the glaze penetrate the meat and create a crispy crust.
  • Make the glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, honey, Dijon mustard, and red pepper flakes. Brush the glaze over the scored ham, making sure to cover all sides.
  • Grill the ham: Place the ham on the prepared grill and cook for 15-20 minutes per side, or until the ham is heated through and the glaze is caramelized. Baste the ham with the glaze every few minutes to keep it moist.
  • Let the ham rest: Once the ham is cooked, remove it from the grill and let it rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute and make the ham more tender.

Conclusion:

Florentine ham is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. With its smoky flavor, crispy crust, and sweet and tangy glaze, this ham is sure to be a hit with your family and friends. So next time you're looking for a special way to prepare ham, give Florentine ham a try. You won't be disappointed.
