Pan Seared Steak With Parmesan Aioli Recipes

Steps:

• Parmesal Aioli: In a medium size bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise and olive oil. Stir in the garlic paste,parmesan cheese, pepper and parsley (you should have about 1 cup). Cover; refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
• Steak: Season the slices of beef tenderloin with the salt and pepper. In a large skillet, heat the oil over high heat. Add the beef and cook for one minute on each side or until browned and cooked through. Remove to warm platter. Serve immediately with aioli.

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.

Steps:

• Trim the steaks of any gristle. If you are using top sirloin, cut into 4 steaks of roughly equal size. To make the marinade, in a shallow bowl large enough to accommodate the steaks, combine the garlic, pepper, Maggi sauce, and oil and mix well. Add the steaks and use your fingers to coat all sides. Set aside for 30 minutes, turning the steaks over after 15 minutes.
• Heat a 12-inch heavy-bottomed or cast-iron skillet over medium heat until hot. To test if it is ready, flick a drop of water into it. It should immediately dance and then evaporate. Add the steaks and let them cook, undisturbed, for 6 minutes. The steaks should be well browned on the underside. Use tongs to turn the steaks over. Cook them on the second side, undisturbed, for another 4 minutes for rare, 5 minutes for medium-rare, and 6 minutes for medium. If you are unsure about the doneness of the meat, nick a steak with the sharp point of a paring knife and check the color.
• Transfer the steaks to a plate and tent loosely with aluminum foil. Let rest for 5 minutes before thinly slicing across the grain. Arrange the slices on a platter and include the juices, too. Serve immediately.
