Espresso Steak With Baked Zucchini And Potatoes Recipes

ESPRESSO STEAK WITH BAKED ZUCCHINI AND POTATOES

Steps:

• For the marinade: Combine the olive oil, rosemary, Worcestershire, mustard, vinegar, black pepper, Espelette, cinnamon, garlic, espresso and shallots in shallow dish or large plastic food storage bag. Turn the steak in the marinade and refrigerate for a few hours or overnight.
• Heat the broiler or grill pan over medium-high heat. Cook the flank steak about 12 minutes, turning once. Let the steak rest 5 to 10 minutes, then slice across the grain into 1/2-inch-thick slices. Dress with lemon juice, parsley and sprinkle with a little salt to finish.
• For the zucchini and potatoes: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Pour half of the tomatoes into a casserole dish and break them up a bit. Sprinkle some thyme over them and drizzle with olive oil. Top with a layer of zucchini and season with salt and pepper. Top with the potatoes and season with salt and pepper, some rosemary, sprinkle of garlic, some onions, a drizzle of olive oil and some grated cheese. Repeat the layers until you use up all of the vegetables, and bake until bubbly and brown and the potatoes are tender, about 1 hour 30 minutes.

TOM'S ESPRESSO RIB-EYE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• Rub both sides of the steak with 1/2 tablespoon oil, and sprinkle with the salt and pepper. Stir together the espresso granules and ancho chile powder in a small bowl. Rub both sides of the steak with the espresso mixture, pressing to adhere. Let stand at room temperature for about 30 minutes.
• Place a large cast-iron skillet in the preheated oven until hot, about 10 minutes.
• Remove the hot skillet from the oven; add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil and place over high heat on the stovetop. Add the steak to the skillet and cook, undisturbed, until a crust has formed, 2 1/2 to 3 minutes. Flip the steak and cook, undisturbed, for another 2 1/2 to 3 minutes. Using tongs, hold the steak upright to brown the edges and cook, turning occasionally, until the edges are browned, about 6 minutes.
• Return the skillet to the oven and bake until a meat thermometer inserted in the thickest portion registers 145 degrees F, 6 to 8 minutes for medium-rare, or to the desired degree of doneness. Remove the steak from the skillet; top with the butter and let rest for about 10 minutes before slicing.
