Best 7 Giddy Up Steak With Onion Date Compote Recipes

COUNTRY FRIED STEAKS WITH SWEET ONION GRAVY

Steps:

• In a shallow bowl, stir together the flour, cornstarch, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper until thoroughly mixed. Remove 1/3 cup of the flour mixture, and set aside. Gently press the cube steaks into the remaining flour mixture in the bowl until well coated on both sides.
• Heat butter and olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat until the foam subsides on the butter. Gently pan-fry the steaks until the coating is browned, about 4 minutes per side. Turn only once. Remove the steaks to a platter.
• Spread the onions out into the skillet with the remaining oil and butter, and cook over medium heat until the onions are translucent, 5 to 7 minutes, stirring often. Sprinkle the reserved flour mixture over the onions; cook and stir for 1 more minute, then pour in the beef stock and milk. Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring constantly until the gravy is thickened. Scrape the pan well to dissolve any flavor bits left in the bottom. Return the browned steaks to the gravy mixture, then push them down into the gravy. Cover the skillet, reduce heat to low, and simmer until the steaks are very tender, about 45 minutes, stirring occasionally.

DAD'S MINUTE STEAK WITH GOLDEN ONIONS

Steps:

• Mix the wine, soy sauce, mustard and sugar in a big bowl. Toss in the steak strips, season well with pepper and leave to sit and soak while you get everything else ready.
• Pour the oil into a large frying pan and heat it up over a medium heat for a minute or so. Tip in the onion slices, turn the heat up to very high and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring often to get the onions really golden brown. Take the onions out and keep them warm.
• Lift the steak strips out of the marinade with a slotted spoon and stir fry them in the onion pan over a very high heat for 30 seconds (do it in two batches if it's easier). Pour in the marinade from the bowl and boil for a few seconds until it sticks to the meat but is still juicy. Season with salt and pepper and keep warm.
• Toast the bread and then spread with the garlic butter and cut each slice in half. Overlap two pieces of toast on each plate, top with a spoonful of onions, then the steak and more onions. Put a little pile of watercress on each plate and serve straightaway.

GIDDY-UP STEAK WITH ONION-DATE COMPOTE

Steps:

• For the rub: In a small bowl, stir together the rub ingredients, making sure to smooth out any brown sugar nuggets. Then, pour half the mixture over 1 side of the flank steak and massage into the meat. Turn the steak over and pour the other half over the meat and massage in. Set aside on the counter up to 2 hours to marinate. You could also marinate the meat overnight in the fridge.
• For the compote: Heat the olive oil in a very large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is shimmering (not smoking), add the onions, a pinch of salt, and stir to coat with oil. Cover and reduce the heat to low. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions turn a deep caramel color, about 45 minutes.
• Warm your grill or grill pan over medium heat.
• When the onions are caramelized, add the dates, vinegar, and water. Stir and cook, covered, for another 15 minutes.
• Fold a paper towel in 4, pour a little vegetable or canola oil onto it, and wipe down your grill pan.
• Once the grill pan is nice and hot (oil lightly smoking), throw your rubbed-down meat on. It should sizzle upon contact - if it doesn't, your pan wasn't hot enough. This is how you ensure a nice crust on the steak! After 5 minutes on 1 side, flip the steak over, and cook another 4 to 5. Check the temperature; I like my flank steak done medium-rare, so I pull it off as soon as the thermometer register 125 degrees F. Pull onto a chopping board, and tent with foil; allow your meat to rest for 5 minutes.
• Slice the steak thinly against the grain on the bias; if you don't, your precious steak won't be incredibly tender and deeply unsatisfying! Serve with a dollop of onion compote on top.

BASS STEAKS WITH BASIL-PEPPER COMPOTE

Steps:

• In a large bowl combine the garlic, olive oil and lemon juice. Add the salt and black pepper and whisk well to combine. Slowly drizzle in the white wine. Add the onions and peppers, stir well to combine and set aside for 1 hour. Add the tomatoes and basil, stir and adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper to taste. Place the bass in this mixture and marinate for 1 to 4 hours.
• If using a charcoal grill, prepare the coals. When they are hot, remove the bass from the marinade and grill on each side for 5 to 8 minutes, depending on the thickness of the bass. After turning the fish, spoon the marinade over the bass and partially cover the grill so that the fish is allowed to smoke. Use a spatula to place each steak and its topping on plates and serve immediately. (If using a broiler, follow the same instructions, broiling the bass on one side, turning it, spooning on the marinade and broiling until done. Allow at least 4 inches between the fish and the flame to avoid burning.)

RIB EYE STEAK WITH BLUE CHEESE COMPOUND BUTTER AND CRISPY ONION STRINGS RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Make the compound butter: In a medium bowl, mix together the butter, blue cheese, chives, salt, and pepper until well combined.
• Transfer the butter to a piece of plastic wrap and roll into a log. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or until ready to use.
• Make the fried onions: In a shallow bowl, combine the onions and buttermilk and let sit at room temperature for 1 hour.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, paprika, salt, and pepper. Dip the buttermilk-coated onions into the flour mixture, shaking off any excess.
• Fill a large skillet with high sides with the canola oil. Heat the oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 375˚F (190˚C). Once the oil is hot, add the onions in batches and fry for 3 minutes, until golden brown. Transfer the onions to a wire rack to drain and season with salt.
• Generously season the steaks all over with salt and pepper.
• Add the olive oil to a large cast-iron or stainless-steel pan over high heat. Once the oil begins to shimmer, add the steaks and cook, without disturbing, until a brown crust forms, about 7 minutes. Flip the steaks and continue to cook for 7 minutes more, until the steak is browned on both sides. Sear the sides of the steak to render any fat. Add the butter and thyme to the pan. Tilt the pan toward you and baste the steaks with the melted butter for 2 minutes, until the internal temperature reaches 135°F (60°C) for medium rare.
• Serve the steak with the crispy onions and blue cheese compound butter.
• Enjoy!

BROILED TUNA STEAKS WITH ONION COMPOTE

Steps:

• Preheat a charcoal grill or broiler.
• Place the tuna steaks on a flat surface, and cut out the dark streak of meat, if any. Brush with olive oil on both sides, and sprinkle with salt, thyme and pepper flakes. Cover with plastic wrap, and let stand for 15 minutes before broiling.
• Meanwhile, heat the remaining olive oil in a heavy casserole, and add the onions. Cover. Cook over medium-high heat for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. When the onions start to brown, uncover and add the vinegar, clove and Tabasco. Add salt to taste. Cook briefly, stirring, until the vinegar has almost evaporated. Stir in the capers and honey. Cover tightly, and simmer for 15 minutes more.
• Sprinkle the tuna on both sides with the cracked peppercorns.
• If you are using a grill, rub the rack lightly with oil. Place the fish on the grill. If you are using a broiler, place the fish on a rack about 4 inches from the heat. Cook for 3 minutes, and turn. For rare, cook for another 3 minutes.
• To serve, place equal portions of onion compote on the side of four warmed plates. Place a tuna steak on each plate, and sprinkle with basil.

BROILED HALIBUT STEAKS WITH CRANBERRY COMPOTE

Steps:

• Rinse the halibut steaks in cold water and pat dry with paper towels.
• In a medium saucepan, heat the vegetable oil.
• Add the onion and cook over moderately-high heat until the onions are soft and very lightly browned, about 5 minutes.
• Add the cranberries, pear, sugar and water and stir to mix.
• Heat the berries over moderate heat, cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft, about 15 minutes; do not boil or the berries will cook to a puree.
• Stir in the cloves, salt and pepper and taste the compote for seasoning, adding more sugar if the cranberries are especially tart.
• Preheat the broiler, set the oven rack about 4 inches from the heat and lightly oil the broiler pan rack.
• Season each side of the halibut steaks with salt and pepper and set the steaks on the broiler rack.
• Broil the halibut for 3 to 4 minutes, turn the steaks and broil on the other side until the fish is just opaque through, 4 to 5 minutes longer.
• Meanwhile, reheat the compote and stir in the walnut pieces.
• Transfer the halibut steaks to individual dinner plates, spoon the cranberry compote partly over and alongside the halibut and serve immediately.
• Garnish with pear wedges or chopped walnuts if you like.
