Steak With Spicy Olive Pesto image

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 3h10m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 2 1/4-pound boneless sirloin steak (1 1/4 inches thick)
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Juice of 1 lemon
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1/4 cup pine nuts
1 bunch parsley (leaves only)
1 clove garlic
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/4 cup finely grated parmesan or grana padano cheese
1/4 cup chopped pitted green olives (such as Sicilian or Cerignola)

Steps:

  • Pound the steak on both sides with a meat tenderizer or pierce with a fork. Transfer to a large resealable plastic bag; add 2 tablespoons olive oil, the lemon juice, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Seal the bag and shake to coat; marinate in the refrigerator, 2 to 8 hours.
  • Meanwhile, make the pesto: Toast the pine nuts in a small skillet over medium-high heat, tossing occasionally, until slightly golden, about 3 minutes; let cool. Pulse the parsley, garlic and red pepper flakes in a food processor until almost smooth. Add the toasted pine nuts, cheese and 5 tablespoons olive oil and pulse until combined. Transfer to a bowl and stir in 3 tablespoons water and the olives; season with salt.
  • Remove the steak from the marinade and pat dry. Bring to room temperature, about 30 minutes.
  • Heat a large cast-iron or other heavy skillet over medium-high heat; add the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil, then add the steak and cook until a dark crust forms, about 7 minutes. Turn and cook until a thermometer inserted into the center of the steak (from the side) registers 130 degrees F for medium rare, about 8 more minutes. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest 10 minutes.
  • Brush the steak with some of the pesto. Thinly slice against the grain and serve with the remaining pesto.

LAMB LEG STEAK WITH OLIVE RELISH AND TOMATOES



Lamb Leg Steak With Olive Relish and Tomatoes image

Most lamb cuts can be made into chops. Some are expensive, like rib chops (from the rack) or loin chops (which look like miniature T-bone steaks), but there are also cheaper shoulder chops and sirloin chops. An easy chop to cook is the meaty, lean center-cut lamb leg steak, a thick slice with a round bone in the center. If you have ever grilled a butterflied lamb leg and found it difficult to cook evenly and carve, a lamb leg steak is a surprisingly easy way to go. Seasoned with salt and pepper, rosemary and garlic, it takes about 10 minutes to cook. Of course, if you're grilling over coals, it will take time for your grill to be ready, but that gives your steak time to marinate: It tastes best if it is seasoned at least 20 minutes before cooking.

Categories     meat

Time 45m

Yield 3 to 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 center-cut lamb leg steak, about 1 1/2 pounds, cut 1 1/2 to 2 inches thick
Salt and pepper
1 tablespoon roughly chopped rosemary
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
4 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
4 medium tomatoes, halved horizontally (optional)
Large handful of arugula, for garnish
3/4 cup roughly chopped pitted olives, a mix of black and green
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 lemon, skin on, seeded and finely chopped (about 2 tablespoons)
1 garlic clove, smashed
Red-pepper flakes, to taste
Salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Prepare the lamb: Season lamb generously on both sides with salt and pepper. Sprinkle with rosemary, olive oil and garlic, smearing with hands to coat. Set aside at room temperature. Season cut sides of tomatoes, if using, with salt. (Light the grill now, if using charcoal.)
  • Make the olive relish: Stir together chopped olives, olive oil, lemon, garlic and red pepper in a small bowl. Taste and adjust seasoning.
  • Have a charcoal grill ready or heat a ridged stovetop grill or cast-iron pan over medium-high heat. Grill or sear the lamb steak on one side for about 5 minutes, until nicely browned. Flip steak and cook on the other side for about 5 minutes more, until juices appear on the surface. Set aside to rest.
  • Place tomatoes, if using, seasoned with salt and pepper, cut-side-up on grill, pan or broiler, and cook for about 5 minutes, until heated through, but still firm.
  • To serve, slice lamb into 1/8-inch slices and arrange on a platter. Surround with tomatoes and arugula. Pass olive relish separately.

TUSCAN STEAK WITH OLIVE OIL AND LEMON



Tuscan Steak With Olive Oil and Lemon image

This is a very yummy recipe I got from Cook's Illustrated. T-Bone and porterhouse steaks are large enough to serve two. We prefer to season the steaks with kosher salt because its coarse grains are easier to sprinkle evenly onto the meat than fine table salt. If you use charcoal briquettes instead of hardwood charcoal, one chimney-full will weigh close to 6 pounds. Also, you may have to increase the searing time by about 30 seconds on each side. There is no need to build a two-level fire if you can adjust the level of the charcoal rack on your grill; crank the rack up high to sear the steaks, then drop it down a couple of levels for less intense heat to finish cooking them.

Provided by PamLuvs2Cook

Categories     Steak

Time 15m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 beef t-bone steaks (about 3 1/2 pounds total) or 2 porterhouse steaks, pat dry, each 1 1/2 inches thick (about 3 1/2 pounds total)
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
8 -12 lemon wedges, for serving

Steps:

  • Light large chimney starter filled with hardwood charcoal (about 2 1/2 pounds) and burn until covered with layer of fine gray ash. Build two-level fire by stacking most of the coals on one side of grill and arranging remaining coals in single layer on other side. Set cooking grate in place, cover grill with lid, and let grate heat up, about 5 minutes. Use wire brush to scrape grate clean. Grill is ready when thicker layer of coals is medium-hot (you can hold your hand 5 inches above cooking grate for 3 to 4 seconds).
  • Meanwhile, sprinkle each side of steaks with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Cook steaks, uncovered, over hotter part of grill until well-browned on each side, about 2 1/2 minutes per side. (If steaks start to flame, move them to cooler side of fire and/or extinguish flames with squirt bottle). Move steaks to cooler side of grill and continue cooking, turning once, to desired doneness, 5 to 6 minutes more for rare (120 degrees on instant-read thermometer), 6 to 7 minutes for rare medium-rare (125 degrees), 7 to 8 minutes for medium medium-rare (130 degrees), or 8 to 9 minutes for medium (135 to 140 degrees).
  • Transfer steaks to cutting board and let rest 5 minutes. Following illustrations below, cut strip and tenderloin pieces off bones and slice crosswise about 1/2 inch thick. Arrange slices on platter, drizzle with olive oil, and serve immediately with lemon wedges.

Olive-Stuffed Flank Steak image

A formal presentation makes this delicious combination of steak, olive stuffing, and tomato confit an option for a family holiday dinner.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Meat & Poultry     Beef Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tablespoons olive oil, plus about 2 tablespoons for cooking the steaks
1 cup finely chopped onion
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 cup chopped pitted Kalamata olives
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh thyme
1/2 cup toasted pine nuts
1/4 cup dried currants
2 flank steaks, about 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 pounds each
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
Cherry Tomato Confit

Steps:

  • To make the stuffing: Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a medium sauté pan over medium heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft and caramelized, about 10 minutes. Add the garlic, and cook until aromatic, a few minutes more. Remove from the heat, and transfer to a bowl. Stir in the olives, herbs, pine nuts, and currants. Set aside to cool.
  • To prepare the flank steaks for stuffing; place one of the steaks on a work surface, cover it loosely with a piece of plastic wrap, and use a meat pounder to pound the steak until about 1/3 inch thick. Using a sharp knife, score the steak in a crisscross pattern, making 3 to 4 shallow cuts in each direction, being sure not to cut all the way through. Turn the steak over, and spread half the stuffing evenly over the unscored surface of the steak. Roll up the steak lengthwise, like a jelly roll. Using kitchen twine, tightly tie the steak to keep it securely rolled up. Season with salt and pepper. Repeat with the remaining steak and stuffing.
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Pour about 2 tablespoons of oil into a large roasting pan. Place over two burners over medium-high heat. When the oil is hot, add the steaks and sear on all sides, turning with tongs, until browned, 6 to 8 minutes. Remove steaks from pan, transfer to a plate, and set aside. Discard any fat in the pan and scrape out and discard any burned bits that may have escaped from the stuffing. Return the steaks to the pan, place in the oven, and roast, uncovered, for 7 to 8 minutes. Turn the steaks, and continue to roast until the internal temperature of the steaks reads between 120 degrees.and 130 degrees.on an instant-read thermometer, about 8 minutes.
  • Remove pan from oven and allow the steaks to rest for 5 to 8 minutes. Cut, and remove the twine. Transfer steaks to a cutting board. Using a sharp knife, cut them into slices 1/2 to 3/4 inch. Arrange the slices on a platter, and pour any accumulated pan juices over the top. Serve with tomato confit.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of steak. For this recipe, a flank steak or skirt steak is best.
  • Marinate the steak for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight. This will help to tenderize the meat and add flavor.
  • Cook the steak over high heat, either on a grill or in a skillet. This will help to sear the meat and create a nice crust.
  • Do not overcook the steak. A medium-rare or medium steak is best for this recipe.
  • Serve the steak immediately with the olive sauce.

Conclusion:

This steak with olives recipe is a quick and easy dish that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. The steak is marinated in a flavorful mixture of olive oil, garlic, and herbs, then cooked to perfection. The olive sauce is made with a combination of olives, capers, and red wine vinegar, and it adds a delicious briny flavor to the steak. Serve the steak with roasted potatoes or grilled vegetables for a complete meal.
