SEARED STRIP STEAKS WITH BRAISED PEPPERS AND ONION
Lean cuts of meat like strip steak are best cooked with a brief sear; they stay tender while taking on a crisp, smoky exterior. Here, you saute a few peppers and onions, then braise them in tomato sauce to make a rich ragu, sopping up all the flavor left in the pan from the beef.

Steps:
- Pat steaks dry. Generously season with salt and pepper; sprinkle with oregano and coriander. Let stand 5 minutes.
- Heat a large cast-iron skillet over high. Swirl in 1 tablespoon oil. Add steaks in a single layer. Cook, undisturbed, until a brown crust forms on bottoms, about 4 minutes. Flip and cook, undisturbed, until a crust forms on other sides and a thermometer inserted into thickest parts reads 125 degrees for medium-rare, about 3 minutes more. Transfer to a plate.
- Reduce heat to medium; wipe any blackened bits from bottom of skillet with a paper towel. Add remaining 2 tablespoons oil, bell peppers, onion, and basil sprigs; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are golden and tender, 18 to 20 minutes. Add vinegar; cook until reduced by half, about 30 seconds. Add tomato sauce, accumulated juices from steak, and 1/3 cup water. Simmer, stirring a few times, until reduced and thickened slightly, about 2 minutes. Remove and discard basil.
- Thinly slice steak against the grain. Serve over rice, with braised vegetables and basil leaves.

STRIP STEAK WITH PEPPER CREAM SAUCE
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 200 degrees F.
- Sprinkle steaks with kosher salt and crushed black pepper. Heat butter in a 12-inch, heavy bottomed saute pan over medium heat. Once butter is hot, add steaks and cook until browned on both sides, about 2 minutes per side for medium-rare and 3 minutes per side for medium. Remove steaks from pan and place on a rack set on a sheet pan; place in oven to keep warm.
- Add the stock to the saute pan and whisk until the crispy bits release from bottom of pan. Allow the liquid to reduce for 3 to 4 minutes over medium-high heat. Add cognac, heavy cream, and green peppercorns to the pan. Increase heat to high and cook, whisking continually, until sauce thickens slightly, just enough to coat the back of a spoon; this will take 5 to 7 minutes.
- Season the sauce, to taste, with kosher salt. Place steaks on plates, top with sauce, and serve immediately.

Steps:
- In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of the butter with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden, about 15 minutes. Transfer the onions to a bowl and set aside.
- Generously season both sides of the steak with salt and pepper. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of the oil to the skillet and fry the steak over medium heat, turning once, until browned, about 6 minutes per side for medium. Transfer the steak to a serving platter and cover to keep warm.
- Add the bourbon to the skillet and, over medium heat, scrape up any bits that cling to the pan. Allow the liquor to simmer until reduced by half, about 1 minute. Add the onions and the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and stir until the butter is melted. Reduce the heat and gently simmer until the onions are heated through, about 2 minutes. Season, to taste, with salt and pepper and stir in any juices that have run off from the steak.
- To serve, cut the steak into 1/4-inch-thick slices and top with the onions.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350°.
- Place the onion wedges in a baking dish. Drizzle with the oil and sprinkle with a little salt. Stir to coat all the pieces evenly. Roast, uncovered, until browned and soft, about 1 hour. Remove and let stand until slightly cooled.
- Put the onions in a blender or food processor; add the broth and soy sauce and blend to a smooth puree. Transfer the sauce to a small saucepan, cover and set aside.
- Preheat the broiler or prepare coals for grilling.
- Press the cracked pepper onto both sides of each steak, using about 1 teaspoons of pepper for each steak. Broil or grill the steaks until seared and nicely browned on one side, about 4 minutes for medium-rare and 5 minutes for medium. Turn and cook 4 minutes more for both medium-rare and medium.
- Reheat the onion sauce while the steaks are cooking. Spoon the warmed sauce over each steak and serve.
Tips:
- Before cooking, bring your steaks to room temperature for at least 30 minutes. This will help them cook evenly.
- Season your steaks generously with salt and pepper. You can also add other spices, such as garlic powder or onion powder, if you like.
- Sear your steaks in a hot skillet over medium-high heat for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are browned and cooked to your desired doneness.
- Let your steaks rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the meat, making it more tender and flavorful.
- For the peppers and onions, slice them thinly so that they cook evenly. You can also add other vegetables to the skillet, such as mushrooms or zucchini.
- Season the peppers and onions with salt, pepper, and other spices, such as paprika or cumin, if you like.
- Cook the peppers and onions in a hot skillet over medium heat for 10-15 minutes, or until they are tender and slightly caramelized.
Conclusion:
This recipe for seared strip steaks with braised peppers and onions is a delicious and easy-to-make weeknight meal. The steaks are juicy and flavorful, and the peppers and onions are a perfect accompaniment. This dish is sure to please everyone at your table.
