Sofrito Marinated Steak Recipes

Steps:

• In a shallow glass dish, stir together Garlic-Pepper Sauce, red-wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, and olive oil. Add flank steak; spoon some sauce mixture over steak. Cover, and marinate 30 minutes at room temperature or up to overnight in the refrigerator.
• Heat broiler; set rack 4 inches from heat. Transfer steak to a broiler pan, spooning marinade over meat. Broil, without turning, 14 to 16 minutes for medium-rare (135 degrees on an instant-read thermometer). Let stand 10 minutes before slicing.

Steps:

• Combine tomatoes, green bell pepper, red bell pepper, Cubanelle pepper, onion, garlic, and cilantro in the bowl of a food processor; pulse until finely chopped. Set aside 1 cup of sofrito for the recipe and save the rest for another use.
• Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Season chicken thighs with adobo and cumin. Add chicken to hot skillet and sear on each side until golden brown, 5 to 6 minutes per side. Reduce heat to low and add chicken broth and 1 cup of sofrito. Cover and simmer until chicken thighs fall apart, about 1 hour.

Steps:

• In a food processor, combine green peppers, red peppers ajies dulces, tomatoes, onions, and garlic. Add cilantro, recao, salt, and pepper. Process to the consistency of semi-chunky salsa (not watery). Place in a resealable plastic freezer bag, and use as needed, or freeze in portions.

Steps:

• Set oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
• Cut green bell pepper and red bell pepper in half from top to bottom; remove the stem, seeds, and ribs. Place peppers cut sides down onto the prepared baking sheet. Lightly brush with 2 teaspoons olive oil.
• Roast under the preheated broiler until the skin of the peppers has blackened and blistered, 5 to 8 minutes. Transfer to a resealable plastic bag. Seal to let peppers steam as they cool, about 15 minutes. Remove skins under running water and discard. Chop flesh into large pieces.
• Place pepper pieces, sweet chile peppers, onion, scallions, tomatoes, garlic, cilantro, culantro, olives, oregano, and capers in a blender or food processor. Blend, adding 1/2 cup olive oil and water in batches, until mixture is pureed but some chunks remain.
• Divide blended mixture among four 16-ounce containers, filling each 3/4 of the way. Top each with 2 to 3 tablespoons olive oil to help preserve mixture. Close containers and refrigerate.

Steps:

• For the sofrito: puree onion, bell peppers, cilantro and garlic in a food processor; add olive oil, salt and pepper.
• Spread 1 cup of the sofrito over the flank steak, working it into the scored crevices of the meat with your fingers; allow the meat to marinate for at least 30 minutes but 2-3 hours is best.
• Prepare grill or broiler; grill or broil the meat to the desired doneness, about 8 minutes per side for medium rare.
• Let stand 5 minutes then slice.
• Refrigerate or freeze the rest of the sofrito to use in another dish- it goes really well with sauteed chicken.

Steps:

• In a large food processor or blender, blend the peppers and garlic until smooth.
• Add the onion and blend until smooth, then add the culantro and cilantro, and blend until smooth. The sofrito will keep covered in the fridge for up to 1 week, or in the freezer for up to 3 months.

Steps:

• Combine all liquid ingredients in a medium bowl. Add dry ingredients to liquid ingredients. (Make sure all ingredients are mixed completely.).
• Place steaks in a shallow, non-porous dish, and pour marinade over steaks. For optimal flavor, rub the marinade into the meat. (I sometimes use a plastic bag for easier storage and clean-up.).
• Cover and let marinade in the refrigerator for 24-48 hours.
• Grill steaks for 7-8 minutes per side on a lightly oiled grate or until internal temperature reaches at least 145°.

Steps:

• In plastic bag combine wine, thyme, oil, garlic, salt and pepper. Add steak and turn to coat. Seal bag and marinate in refrigerator for 8-24 hours, turning steak occasionally to coat with marinade.
• Prepare and heat gril. Place steak on greased grill over hot coals; brush with marinade to coat. Cover grill and cook steak for 7 to 8 minutes per side or until medium. Remove from grill, cover, and let stand for 5 minutes before carving.

Steps:

• Mix all the ingredients except for the steak in a shallow glass dish or a food storage bag.
• Add steak, turning to coat.
• Cover the dish or seal the bag.
• Refrigerate at least 8 hours or overnight, turning occasionally.
• Remove steak from the marinade; reserve marinade.
• Grill over direct high heat for 5 minutes; turn steak and sear the other side.
• Move steak to a cooler part of the grill; cover and grill until desired doneness, turning and brushing with reserved marinade once or twice. (This is a good time to place packet potatoes or a vegetable packet over the hot side of the grill to go with your steak. Don't forget to turn them occasionally while your steak cooks).
• Discard any remaining marinade.
• To serve, cut beef into slices across the grain into slices.

Steps:

• Cut steak in half lengthwise and then into 1/4-inch strips.
• Heat 2 Tbsp.of the dressing in large nonstick skillet. Add steak; brown in 2 batches, 1 to 2 min. on each side. Remove from pan; set aside.
• Add remaining 2 Tbsp. dressing to skillet. Add ham, onion and peppers; cook 5 min. until browned and softened, stirring occassionally. Add tomatoes and steak. Bring to boil. Reduce heat to simmer. Cook 5 min. or until meat is heated through. Serve immediately over rice.
