Last weekend I did my 'steak-spaghetti' thing...

Browned a round-steak in garlic, olive oil, and fresh herbs in a dutch oven. After it was sufficiently browned, thru in a small can of plain-old tomato sauce, a half cup red wine, and a half cup vegetable broth. Then transfered it to the oven pre-heated at 325 and left it there to braise for two hours....

When it was done, I sliced the steak thin and lined it up over spaghetti pasta...and then doused it in a bit of the gravy sauce from the dutch oven...

...and it was good. :

This brutal winter has got me hankering for a good steak, so I made a delicious Flank Steak last night....

Spiced Flank Steak:

Rub:

• 1/4 cup Ancho Chile Powder
• 1-1/2 TBS Sweet Paprika
• 2 TSP Dried Oregano
• 2 TSP Ground Coriander
• 2 TSP Dried Mustard
• 1 TBS Kosher Salt
• 2 TSP Freshly Ground Black Pepper
• 1 TSP Ground Cumin

Instructions:

• Let meat reach room temperture.
• Drizzle steak with Olive Oil.
• Rub down the steaks, both sides with the seasoning mixture.
• Heat your grill to high.
• Cook on one side for 3-4 minutes. Turn and cook 3-4 minutes on the other side. (135°F- 140°F internal temp. for medium rare).
• Let rest for 2 minutes before slicing.

Thoughts:

I used my cast iron griddle on the cooktop to do the flank steaks. My outdoor grill is covered with 2' of snow. Anyways, the steaks turned out excellent. We got the recipe from Bobby Flay's "Grill-It" book. Smoky, savory with a bit of spice. Excellent flavor.

Optional side Steak Sauce from Bobby Flay's Bar Americain:

• 1/4 Cup Dijon Mustard
• 1/4 Cup Whole Grain Mustard
• 1/4 Cup Molasses
• 2 TBS Ketchup
• 2 TBS Honey
• 1 TBS Horseradish
• 1/2 TSP Kosher Salt
• 1/4 TSP Freshly Ground Black Pepper

We accompanied this steak with a salad made of field greens, craisens, almonds, fresh white cheddar slices, topped with a balsamic vinaigrette and a poached egg. Washed it down with a bottle of Pinot Noir.

YUM CITY!.............

That looks like an absolute masterpiece (minus the poached egg )!! It could have been plucked from the pages of a cooking magazine. I wish I could use a stovetop griddle, but the glass cooktop won't allow for it....

 

[dfergie]

That does look good...
This is more of a lunchtime food for me, but... I soaked pinto beans overnight and just put into the crockpot with 2 Earl Cambell Hot - Hot links and 3 strips of rare cooked bacon with 2 diced Hatch green chiles in the mix...should be ready by 6pm..

 

[Rey]

thanks for the recipe HD. that looks very delicious! excellent presentation.

Looks delicious! What kind of Pinot Noir?

 

[HD MM]

Thanks for the compliments guys. And trust me, it tasted as good as it looked. I encourage anyone to give that rub a try. It worked well on the steak.

 

[HD MM]

It was a 2004 Veramonte from Chile. It wasn't an expensive bottle at all and I'm no wine connoisseur by any means, but the wife and I liked it a lot. We bought it at Whole Foods.

 

[dfergie]

3 skinless chicken breasts wrapped in foil with an 1/8" layer of sausage on bottom and 2 strips of bacon on top & my rub on both sides... on grill now.

 

[tstolze]

Started early in the afternoon by applying rub to 2 bone in pork butts. Fired some Kingsford ~9:40 pm, filled the Weber Smoker with ~15lbs of charcoal mixed with apple wood. Filled the water pan and assembled the cooker and placed the meat on at 10:00. Almost 2 hours later the smoker is @237 meat is 87. Should be finished around noon, then let sit for 1-2 hours before pulling and serving. :

Venison eye-of-the-round marinated in a red wine/olive oil/honey/ginger/cayenne pepper marinade. The marinade was applied in a vacuum dish.

Served with a bottle of Cahors.

The weather broke here in Chicago over the weekend (Thank goodness!)

Grilled up some Tuna steaks dusted in a little garlic and herb. Sliced them up and tossed them into a romaine salad with black olives, red grape tomatoes, radicchio, and a little olive oil. Made a grilled tuna caesar salad out of the deal, and enjoyed it with a nice Italian Pinot Grigio. Delicious. I think this now became one of my favorite ways to enjoy grilled tuna.

You put herb on tuna steak? You're supposed to smoke that sh*t.....

What? The herb or the tuna steak?

There was a few mesquite chips on the grill if thats what you were talking about.

I think Bobby was referring to the type of herb Michael Phelps likes to "smoke".
