Pan Fried Shell Steak Recipes

Steps:

• Season steaks with coarse salt and ground pepper. Heat 2 teaspoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 2 steaks; cook until medium-rare, about 2 minutes per side. Repeat with another 2 teaspoons oil and remaining steaks. Let rest 5 minutes before serving.
• Serve with Spicy Pepper Vinaigrette if desired.

Steps:

• Heat a large heavy-bottomed skillet (preferably cast iron) over high 5 minutes. Generously season steaks with salt and pepper. Add 1/2 teaspoon butter to pan, then immediately top with one steak. Repeat with remaining 1/2 teaspoon butter and steak. Cook without moving steaks until a golden brown crust forms, 3 to 4 minutes. Turn and cook 2 minutes more for rare, or 3 to 4 minutes more for medium-rare. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest 5 minutes. Slice steaks against the grain; serve with sauce, if desired.
• Heat a 10- or 12-inch cast-iron skillet over high heat. Season the steaks liberally with salt and pepper. Seconds before adding a steak, drop 1/2 teaspoon of the butter into the pan and immediately top with the steak. Repeat with the remaining steak. Sear for 3 minutes without moving the steak (to form a crust). Turn and cook for 2 minutes for rare or 3 to 4 for medium rare. Remove the steaks from the pan and let them rest on a board or platter for a few minutes before serving.

Steps:

• Pat dry steaks with paper towels. Season on both sides with salt and pepper. Heat a large skillet over high; melt butter, swirling to coat bottom of pan. Working in two batches, cook steaks 7 to 8 minutes for medium-rare, turning once. Transfer steaks to plates.
• Remove skillet from heat; add the water and scrape up browned bits from bottom of skillet with a wooden spoon. Season pan sauce with salt and pepper. Strain through a fine sieve, if desired, discarding solids. Serve steaks with sauce spooned over top. Garnish with watercress.
• It's quick work to make a sauce by adding liquid to the pan and scraping up the flavorful bits from the bottom of the hot skillet. If desired, use wine (red or white) or broth in place of water.

Steps:

• Dry the steaks with a paper towel and season them with the black pepper.
• Heat butter& oil in a frying pan and add steaks.
• Cook steaks on medium heat to your preferred doneness, turning over once half way through.
• Remove steaks to a warm plate and pour off the fat from the pan.
• Return pan to stove and add whiskey.
• Stir, being sure to scrape up dripping from the pan bottom.
• Reduce heat and add cream.
• Simmer for few minutes, until the cream thickens.
• Season sauce with salt and pepper, and pour over the steaks.
• Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Whisk first 6 ingredients together in mixing bowl. Place steaks in shallow glass baking dish and pour marinade over top. Turn several times to coat completely. Refrigerate covered at least 30 minutes.
• Heat butter and remaining 2 T. oil in large heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Add potatoes and cook, turning frequently, until golden and crisp, about 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper and keep warm.
• Heat broiler or grill.
• Broil steaks about 4 inches from heat 5 minutes (or grill); turn and broil second side 3 minutes for medium-rate. Serve at once with potatoes.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400. Heat oil in a large cast-iron or other ovenproof skillet (not a nonstick) over medium-high until it begins to smoke. Pat steak dry with paper towels. Season each side with 1 teaspoon coarse salt and 1 teaspoon cracked pepper.
• Cook steak in skillet over medium-high heat until a dark crust has formed, 5 to 7 minutes per side (reduce heat if meat is browning too quickly). Holding steak with tongs, quickly brown all edges, turning as necessary; lay steak flat in skillet.
• Transfer skillet to oven. Roast until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part of steak registers desired doneness, 5 to 15 minutes. Transfer to a plate; spread with 1 tablespoon Steak Butter. Cover loosely with aluminum foil, and let rest 5 to 10 minutes (temperature will then rise another 5 to 10 degrees). Slice across the grain; serve with remaining Steak Butter. Cover and refrigerate any leftovers, up to 2 days.
