BEEF RECIPES

Rib-Eye Steak with Pan-Fried Tomatoes

Ingredients

 

  •             4 x 300g rib-eye steaks

  •             2 Tbs olive oil

  •             400g cherry tomatoes

  •             1 Tbs chopped fresh rosemary needles

  •             2 cloves garlic - chopped

  •             2 Tbs capers - roughly chopped      

  •             Freshly ground black pepper

  •             1 Tbs butter

  •             Zest of 1 lemon

  •             1 Tbs chopped flat leaf parsley

  •             Grated Parmesan

 

Instructions

 

Leave the steaks out of the fridge until you are ready to cook them - they should be at room temperature.

Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan and add the tomatoes, cooking them till the skins burst. Add the rosemary, garlic and capers, and cook for six minutes. Season with salt and pepper, stir in the butter and lemon zest, and cook for a minute. Stir in the parsley and set aside while you cook the steaks. Season the steaks and fry them in a really hot pan to the way you like them - I like mine medium rare. Keep them warm while you reheat the tomatoes. Place the steaks onto warmed plates, top with tomatoes and a dusting of freshly grated Parmesan, and serve with a rocket salad.

​

Tip: This is delicious served with polenta.

Steak with Chilli & Garlic Butter

Ingredients

​

  • 4 sirloin steaks

  • 6 tbsp butter

  • 4 cloves garlic – crush, peel and chop finely

  • 2 tsp chilli flakes

  • 10g fresh parsley – chop coarsely

  • 1 broccoli – cut into large florets

  • 2 lemons – cut in half

  • 50g parmesan cheese – grate finely

  • olive oil, salt and pepper

  • cling wrap, tin foil

​

Instructions

​

Prepare all the ingredients as indicated above.

​

Chilli & Garlic Butter: Mix the butter in a bowl until soft and creamy. Add the chopped garlic, chilli flakes, chopped

parsley, freshly ground salt and pepper. Mix well using a fork. Roll the butter into a log shape and cover in cling film and place it in the fridge.

​

Steaks: Put a dry griddle/frying pan on high heat. On a chopping board rub both sides of each steak with olive oil and season with a little salt and pepper (not too much as the butter will already be seasoned). Place steaks in the

hot pan and sear for 2 to 3 minutes either side for a medium steak. Adjust time to suit your preference. Important – only turn steaks once using tongs (or spoons). Steaks should not overlap. When done, remove and set aside on a plate covered with tin foil to rest for about 10 minutes.

 

Lemon & Parmesan Broccoli: Bring a saucepan of lightly salted water to the boil. Add the broccoli florets and boil gently for 3 to 4 minutes on medium heat until cooked but not too soft – you want them slightly crunchy. Once cooked, remove from heat and season well with salt and pepper and a good squeeze of lemon. Scatter with the parmesan cheese and keep warm. Remove the chilli & garlic butter from the fridge and slice into rounds about 1cm in thickness. Place two rounds on each steak and let it melt over the steak. Serve with the lemon & parmesan broccoli on the side.

T-Bone Steaks with Bacon-Parmesan Butter

Ingredients

​

BUTTER

​

  • 3 thick slices smoked bacon

  • ¼ cup plus 2 tablespoons finely grated Parmigiano-Reggiano®

​

CHEESE

​

  • ¼ cup (½ stick) unsalted butter, softened

  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt

  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper 

  • ​

SALAD

​

  • 1½ pounds small fingerling potatoes, preferably in assorted colors

​

SALT

​

  • 220g slender green beans, trimmed and cut crosswise into thirds

  • 3 tablespoons finely chopped shallot

  • 1½ tablespoons white wine vinegar

  • 1½ tablespoons finely chopped fresh tarragon leaves

  • 1½ teaspoons Dijon mustard

  • 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

  • Freshly ground black pepper

  • 300g cherry tomatoes, each cut in half

  • 4 T-bone steaks, each about 500g and 1 inch thick, trimmed of excess fat

  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt

  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

​

Instructions

​

In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until it is crisp, 8 to 10 minutes, turning occasionally.

Transfer to paper towels to drain and let cool. Finely crumble or chop the bacon. In a small bowl using a fork, combine all of the butter ingredients until well blended. Put the potatoes in a large saucepan of cold, generously salted 2 water and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Boil until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork, 12 to 15 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, remove the potatoes from the water and place on a baking sheet. Add the green beans to the boiling water and cook just until crisp-tender, 3 minutes. Drain in a colander and rinse with cold water to stop them from cooking. In a large serving bowl whisk the shallot, vinegar, tarragon, and mustard. Add the oil in a steady stream, whisking constantly to emulsify. Season with ½ teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon pepper. Cut the warm potatoes in half lengthwise, add them to the bowl with the dressing, and toss gently to coat. Add the green beans and tomatoes and toss gently again. Season with additional salt and pepper, if desired. Let stand at room temperature while preparing the steaks. (The salad can be prepared up to 4 hours ahead, kept covered in the refrigerator. Let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes to 1 hour before serving.) Prepare the grill for direct cooking over high heat (230°C to 280°C). Let the steaks stand at room temperature for 15 to 30 minutes before grilling. Lightly coat the steaks on both sides with the oil and season evenly with the salt and pepper. Brush the cooking grates clean. Grill the steaks over direct high heat, with the lid closed as much as possible, until cooked to your desired taste, 6 to 8 minutes for medium rare, turning once or twice (if flare-ups occur, move the steaks temporarily over indirect heat). Remove from the grill and let rest for 3 to 5 minutes. Top each steak with an equal amount of the bacon-cheese butter and serve with 6 the potato salad.

Grilled Rib Eye Steak with Romaine Marmalade and Watercress

Ingredients

​

Steak:

​

  •          One 24-ounce bone-in rib eye chop, about 2 1/2 inches thick

  •          Extra virgin olive oil

  •          Large grain sea salt

  •          Cracked pepper

  •          French butter

        

Romaine Marmalade and Watercress:

 

  •          4 bunches organic watercress, stems removed (about 2 cups leaves)

  •          2 whole leaves romaine lettuce

  •          1 small clove garlic

  •          1/4 bunch fresh cilantro, trimmed

  •          1/4 bunch fresh flat-leaf parsley, trimmed

  •          Fresh lemon juice

  •          Fine sea salt and freshly ground pepper

  •          2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

 

Instructions

 

For the steak: Sprinkle the steak liberally with olive oil, salt and pepper; make sure the entire steak is covered. Wrap lightly and place in the refrigerator for 12 hours. Get the grill hot 1 hour before cooking (a charcoal or wood fire, preferably with hardwood); the embers must be burned down and glowing and there should be no flames at all. Remove the steak from the refrigerator and leave at room temperature for the same hour that the grill is getting ready. When ready to grill, place the steak on the center of the hot grill and rotate left and right to get proper grill marks. Do this for both sides, about 10 minutes. When this is done, move the steak to a cooler part of the grill and cook to rare, 25 to 30 minutes. You will have to test it with your fingers by pressing gently. When done, place the steak on a rack set inside a sheet pan so the steak does not sit in its own juices. Then place a knob of French butter on top and lightly tent it with tin foil to rest for at least 15 minutes before carving. For the romaine marmalade and watercress: In a blender or food processor, combine the watercress, romaine, garlic, cilantro, parsley, lemon juice, salt and pepper. Add the oil and puree until smooth. Set aside. Yield: 2 cups. To serve, slice each steak into 3 thick, equal-size portions. Spoon equal portions of the watercress-romaine puree onto each of 6 warm plates. Arrange the sliced steak on each plate. Strain the steak pan juices and pour them on top of the meat.

Add the onion, 1/4 tsp. salt, and 1/8 tsp. pepper; reduce the heat to medium low and cook, stirring occasionally, until deeply golden brown and tender, 15 to 18 minutes. Combine the mayonnaise, Dijon, lemon juice, rosemary, and garlic in a small bowl. Season to taste with salt and pepper and set aside. In a medium bowl, gently combine the beef with 1/4 tsp. salt and 1/8 tsp. pepper. Form the beef into 4 patties (7-8cm in diameter) and make a deep depression in the center of each patty so the burgers keep their shape during cooking. Lightly sprinkle the patties with 3/4 tsp. salt and 1/2 tsp. pepper. Braai or oven grill them on the prepared pan for about 4 minutes per side for medium, or until desired doneness. Top each burger with 1 slice of the cheese and braai/grill until melted, 30 to 60 seconds. Toast the buns on the braai or in the oven grill until golden, 30 to 60 seconds. Serve the burgers on the toasted buns with the caramelised onions, mayonnaise, and arugula.
