Delmonico Steak Recipes

DELMONICO STEAKS WITH BALSAMIC ONIONS AND STEAK SAUCE

Steps:

• Heat a heavy grill pan or griddle pan over high heat. Wipe hot grill or griddle with extra-virgin olive oil. Cook steaks 6 minutes on each side for medium doneness, 8 minutes for medium well. Season steaks with steak seasoning or salt and pepper and remove to a warm platter to allow the meat to rest.
• Heat a medium nonstick skillet over medium high heat. Add oil and onions and cook, stirring occasionally, 10 to 12 minutes, until onions are soft and sweet. Add balsamic vinegar to the pan and turn onions in vinegar until vinegar cooks away and glazes onions a deep brown color, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Heat a small saucepan over medium heat. Add oil, garlic and onions and saute 5 minutes until onion bits are tender. Add sherry to the pan and combine with onions. Stir in tomato sauce and Worcestershire and season with black pepper.
• To serve, top steaks with onions and drizzle a little steak sauce down over the top, reserving half of the sauce to pass at table.

CLASSIC DELMONICO STEAK (WITH HERBED BUTTER)

Steps:

• 1. HERBED BUTTER: In a small bowl, combine the butter, garlic, lemon juice and parsley, and mix thoroughly. Form butter into a log shape and wrap in a sheet of waxed paper, and chill the herbed butter for at least an hour to allow the flavors to combine. (You can keep the butter chilled and slice off pieces as needed.)
• 2. STEAKS: Sprinkle the steaks with the salt and pepper, then rub each steak with a small amount of olive oil
• 3. Preheat a cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Once it's heated, turn the heat to low. Sear the steaks 3-5 minutes each side.
• 4. Reduce the heat as low as it will go, and slowly cook until the steak reaches desired internal temperature
• 5. Remove the steak from the skillet and allow it to rest 10 minutes.
• 6. While the steaks are resting, slice off two pieces of the herbed butter, and let one slice of herbed butter slowly melt on top of each steak. Serve hot.
