GRILLED RIB EYE STEAK ON FETA FARRO WITH GARDEN GOODIES AND GRILLED LEMON



Grilled Rib Eye Steak on Feta Farro with Garden Goodies and Grilled Lemon image

This recipe uses my version of dukkah, an Egyptian spice blend made with toasted nuts and seeds. It breathes life into tons of dishes. You can season meat or veggies with it or put it in dips and spreads. It's a great, toasty way to boost flavor and texture.

Provided by Molly Yeh

Categories     main-dish

Time 3h5m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 32

1 stick (120 grams) unsalted butter, at room temperature
1/4 cup chopped fresh Italian parsley
2 scallions, finely chopped
2 teaspoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 teaspoons cumin seeds
1 1/2 teaspoons coriander seeds
1/2 cup (75 grams) toasted sliced almonds
1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
Pinch kosher salt
1 teaspoon kosher salt
2 cups (208 grams) farro, rinsed
1 tablespoon light brown sugar
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more as needed
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Two 1 1/2-inch-thick boneless rib eyes (about 1 1/2 pounds/680 grams each), at room temperature
6 scallions, trimmed
1 lemon, halved
10 ounces (1 1/2 cups/283 grams) cherry tomatoes, quartered
2 Persian cucumbers, thinly sliced
1/4 cup Garlic Oil, recipe follows
1/2 cup coarsely chopped or torn fresh cilantro leaves
1/2 cup coarsely chopped or torn fresh mint leaves
1/2 cup (55 grams) crumbled feta
2 small heads garlic, peeled (about 1/2 heaping cup cloves)
2 sprigs fresh rosemary
2 sprigs fresh thyme
1 dried bay leaf
1 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

Steps:

  • For the compound butter: Combine the butter, parsley, scallions, lemon juice, salt and pepper in a small bowl and mash with a spoon to combine. Scrape onto a piece of parchment and form into a log. Roll up and twirl the ends to tightly seal and form a tight log about 3 inches long. Refrigerate until firm, at least 1 hour.
  • For the dukkah seasoning: Toast the cumin and coriander in a small skillet over low heat until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Cool and crush in a spice grinder or with a mortar and pestle. Transfer to a small bowl and stir in the almonds, sesame seeds and salt. Set aside.
  • For the farro: Bring a large pot of salted water to boil, as for pasta. Add the farro, then reduce the heat and simmer rapidly until just tender, about 30 minutes. Rinse to cool and drain well. Add to a serving bowl.
  • Preheat a 2-burner grill pan or outdoor grill to medium to medium-high heat.
  • For the steaks: Combine the brown sugar, paprika, salt and pepper in a small bowl. Rub all over the steaks on both sides. Place the steaks on the grill. Grill for 90 seconds, then give the steaks a 90-degree turn. Grill for another 90 seconds, then flip the steaks. Repeat the procedure on the second side, cooking the steaks 6 to 7 minutes total for medium-rare.
  • Remove the steaks to a cutting board and let rest for 5 minutes. Unwrap the chilled butter and slice into 4 or 5 rounds. Place on the steaks to melt while they rest.
  • Meanwhile, grill the scallions until tender, turning once, 2 to 3 minutes. Grill the lemon until charred on the cut sides, about 2 minutes. Chop the scallions and add to the bowl with the farro. Squeeze the lemon over the farro and add the tomatoes, cucumbers, Garlic Oil, cilantro, mint, feta and dukkah. Toss well and season with salt if needed. Mound the salad on a serving platter. Thinly slice the steaks against the grain and place on the salad. Serve immediately.
  • Combine the garlic cloves, rosemary sprigs, thyme sprigs, bay leaf and oil in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer over the lowest heat and cook until the cloves are light golden and completely tender, about 30 minutes. Let cool. Remove the herbs and stir in the red pepper flakes.

GRILLED FETA WITH NUTS



Grilled Feta With Nuts image

This skillet of warmed feta and nuts can tide guests over before dinner or embellish a meal of grilled lamb kebabs, mixed vegetables, pork or chicken. Inspired by saganaki, a fried-cheese appetizer from Greece, the feta here is surrounded by nuts, olive oil, honey and herbs. Thyme, oregano or za'atar adds earthiness to the salty feta and sweet honey, but you could incorporate orange or lemon peel, fresh or dried chile, or any other aromatics you like on spiced nuts. You could also trade the nuts for tomatoes, dates, salami or olives. Whatever you do, be sure to drizzle the herbed honey and oil over each spoonful of feta. (See this roasted feta recipe for oven instructions.)

ROASTED BEETS WITH CARAMELIZED ONIONS AND FETA



Roasted Beets With Caramelized Onions and Feta image

This is an amazing recipe for fresh beets, if you don't have any fresh beets you can substitute two 15-ounce cans drained small whole beets, halved or if they are large then quarter them, but I have to say that fresh beets are better! --- for the fresh beets you can boil them or I prefer to roast them in the oven in foil in a 400°F oven for about 30 minutes or until just fork-tender --- this is just as delicious cold as it is served hot! --- prep time does not include roasting the beets and cooking the onions.

Tips:

  • Choose the right beets: Look for small to medium-sized beets with smooth, unblemished skin. Avoid beets that are too large, as they may be woody.
  • Trim the beets: Cut off the tops and bottoms of the beets, leaving about 1 inch of stem attached. Peel the beets with a vegetable peeler.
  • Slice the beets: Cut the beets into 1-inch thick slices.
  • Toss the beets with oil and seasonings: In a large bowl, combine the beet slices with olive oil, salt, pepper, and any other desired seasonings. Toss to coat evenly.
  • Grill the beets: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Place the beet slices on the grill and cook for 5-7 minutes per side, or until tender and slightly charred.
  • Assemble the salad: Once the beets are cooked, let them cool slightly. Arrange the beets on a serving platter and top with crumbled feta cheese, walnuts, and a drizzle of balsamic vinegar.

Conclusion:

Grilled beets are a delicious and healthy side dish or appetizer. They are easy to make and can be grilled in just a few minutes. The sweetness of the beets pairs well with the salty feta cheese and crunchy walnuts. A drizzle of balsamic vinegar adds a touch of acidity and brightness. This salad is sure to please everyone at your next gathering.
