Strip Steak With Blue Cheese Butter Marinated Heirloom Tomatoes And Salsa Verde Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat a grill to high heat.
• Combine the butter, cheese, and thyme in a bowl and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
• Brush the steaks with some canola oil, then season them with salt and cracked black pepper. Grill until the meat chars on both sides and is cooked to a medium-rare doneness. Transfer the steaks to a platter, top them with some of the butter and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• Fire up your frying pan to high heat, or get the grill ready.
• Sprinkle steaks with salt and pepper to taste.
• Toss a dab of butter in the pan (or a spritz of oil).
• Place steaks on the hot pan; grill 3 minutes; turn.
• Scatter bleu cheese crumbles over steak while grilling for another 3 minutes.
• Remove meat from heat, let stand a few minutes.
• Serve with oven-roasted potato wedges or whole baked potatoes.
• OPTIONAL: Serve with MORE bleu cheese or bleu cheese salad dressing.

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, mix together blue cheese, buttermilk, breadcrumbs, pecans, thyme, and parsley. Stir until well combined. Season with salt and pepper and set glaze aside.
• Preheat a grill: If using a charcoal grill, make a fire in your grill. When the charcoals are completely covered in gray ash, hold your hand about 5 inches above the grill grid; count how many seconds you can comfortably leave it there. When you can hold it there for 2 to 3 seconds, you have medium-high heat and are ready to grill. If you are using a gas grill, heat the grill for 15 minutes with the lid closed. Before beginning to cook, reduce the temperature by turning the knobs to medium-high.
• Season steaks on both sides with salt and pepper and drizzle with olive oil. Place on grill and cook for 4 to 6 minutes. Turn steaks and cook 4 to 6 minutes more for medium-rare. Remove steaks from grill and top each with several tablespoons glaze. Let stand a couple minutes before serving.

Steps:

• In a small bowl combine butter, blue cheese, parsley, basil and garlic.
• Set aside.
• Grill steaks to desired doneness.
• Top each steak with a generous amount of the butter mixture.
• Chill the remaining butter for another time.
• (Try the butter mixture tossed with hot cooked vegetables).

Steps:

• For the roasted tomato salsa: Position a rack in the middle of the oven and preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. (Or prepare a grill for high heat.)
• Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Place the tomatoes, onions, jalapeno and garlic on the parchment. Roast for 15 to 20 minutes, then remove the onions and garlic and set aside; peel the garlic. Return the baking sheet to the oven and roast the jalapeno and tomatoes until charred and soft, about 15 minutes more.
• (Or, if making on the grill, place the vegetables on a perforated pan or aluminum foil on the hot grill. Cook, covered and turning when necessary, until all the vegetables are evenly charred and soft. The tomatoes and jalapeno will take longer than the garlic and onions, so remove everything as it finishes cooking.)
• Transfer all the vegetables to a blender and add the cilantro, chipotles with adobo sauce and salt. Blend on medium speed until a uniform puree has formed. With the motor running, slowly add the oil until emulsified and completely incorporated. If the consistency of the salsa is too thick, add some water 1 tablespoon at a time until the desired consistency is achieved. Taste and adjust the seasonings, adding more chipotle if desired. Let cool before using, or transfer to an airtight container and refrigerate until needed. The salsa will keep for up to 1 week.
• For the skirt steak: Season the steak on both sides with salt and pepper. Toss with some of the roasted tomato salsa and marinate, refrigerated, for at least 1 1/2 hours and up to overnight. Reserve the remaining salsa for serving.
• For the grilled romaine: To clean the romaine, place the halves in a large bowl (or several bowls) filled with cold water. Swoosh the lettuce gently in the water and let it sit for 10 minutes--the dirt and grime will settle to the bottom of the bowl. Gently lift the lettuce out of the water and rinse the bowl. Repeat the cleaning process until the water remains clean after you've swished the leaves around in it. Gently pat the lettuce dry around and between the leaves to remove as much moisture as possible. Rinse and dry the bowl, and place the lettuce back in it. Season the lettuce with the olive oil and some salt and pepper, and gently toss to combine.
• Prepare a grill or grill pan for medium-high heat.
• Remove the steak from the marinade and let any excess marinade drip off. Grill 4 to 5 minutes per side for medium rare. Let rest for 5 to 7 minutes.
• Place the romaine halves on the grill cut-side down and grill until well marked, about 2 minutes. Rotate the romaine 45 degrees and grill until well marked again, 2 minutes more. (If doing this on a grill pan, you may need to work in batches.)
• Transfer the romaine halves to a cutting board and chop them into 2-inch pieces. Place the romaine in a large bowl and toss with the lemon juice. Slice the steaks thin and serve with the reserved roasted tomato salsa and grilled romaine. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Place tomatoes, garlic, red onion, jalapenos, 1/2 cup of cilantro, and 1/4 cup of the oil into a food processor. Pulse until the consistency of the mixture is course, about 5 (1 second) pulses. Transfer to a serving bowl and season with salt and pepper. Garnish the salsa with the remaining cilantro and oil.

Steps:

• Trim the fat off the steak and place it in a zip lock bag.
• In a small bowl whisk together the olive oil, red wine, pepper, the 1 teaspoons garlic, the salt, and mustard.
• Pour marinade over steak in the bag and seal. Turn bag to coat steak and marinate in the fridge for 6 to 24 hours, turning bag occasionally.
• Drain steak and discard marinade.
• Grill steak to desired doneness.
• While steak is cooking, in a small bowl combine the green onions, blue cheese, goat cheese, and the 1/2 teaspoons garlic.
• To serve, dollop some of the cheese mixture over the steak. Thinly slice the meat across the grain and pass around the extra blue cheese mixture.

Steps:

• Combine all the above ingredients in a medium bowl with a fork until ingredients are evenly coated with olive oil.
• Use to top steak, baked potatoes, whatever!
• Roquefort cheese is also a fine choice for this salsa.
• Cooking time is the time it takes to toast the walnuts in the oven. Very quick to put together.

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients in a bowl. Serve on top of the steaks.
• Refrigerate leftover in an airtight container in the fridge.
