Pan Seared Carrot Steaks Recipes

PAN SEARED CARROT STEAKS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 200c. Combine salt, pepper, coriander, cumin, and paprika in a small bowl. Rub carrots with spice mixture, reserving 3/4 tsp. in bowl.
• Heat oil in a large ovenproof heavy fry pan or griddle (preferably cast-iron) over medium-high until shimmering. Add carrots cut side down and sear until crisp and browned, 5-6 minutes. Flip carrots and transfer to oven. Roast carrots until tender when pierced with a knife and nicely browned on the outside, 20-25 minutes. Transfer pan back to stovetop over medium heat. Add butter and reserved spice mixture, and once melted, use a spoon to baste carrots with spiced butter for about 3 minutes.
• Transfer carrots to a serving platter or divide among plates. Drizzle with remaining spiced butter from skillet and squeeze lemon over. Sprinkle with parsley and sea salt.

SAUTEED CARROTS

Steps:

• Peel the carrots and cut them diagonally in 1/4-inch slices. You should have about 6 cups of carrots. Place the carrots, 1/3 cup water, the salt, and pepper in a large (10- to 12-inch) saute pan and bring to a boil. Cover the pan and cook over medium-low heat for 7 to 8 minutes, until the carrots are just cooked through. Add the butter and saute for another minute, until the water evaporates and the carrots are coated with butter. Off the heat, toss with the dill or parsley. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and serve.

PAN-SEARED CARROT STEAKS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°F. Combine salt, pepper, coriander, cumin, and paprika in a small bowl. Rub carrots with spice mixture, reserving 3/4 tsp. in bowl.
• Heat oil in a large ovenproof heavy skillet (preferably cast-iron) over medium-high until shimmering. Add carrots cut side down and sear until crisp and browned, 5-6 minutes. Flip carrots and transfer to oven. Roast carrots until tender when pierced with a knife and nicely browned on the outside, 20-25 minutes. Transfer skillet back to stovetop over medium heat. Add butter and reserved spice mixture, and once melted, use a spoon to baste carrots with spiced butter for about 3 minutes.
• Transfer carrots to a serving platter or divide among plates. Drizzle with remaining spiced butter from skillet and squeeze lemon over. Sprinkle with parsley and sea salt.

PAN-SEARED STEAK

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400. Heat oil in a large cast-iron or other ovenproof skillet (not a nonstick) over medium-high until it begins to smoke. Pat steak dry with paper towels. Season each side with 1 teaspoon coarse salt and 1 teaspoon cracked pepper.
• Cook steak in skillet over medium-high heat until a dark crust has formed, 5 to 7 minutes per side (reduce heat if meat is browning too quickly). Holding steak with tongs, quickly brown all edges, turning as necessary; lay steak flat in skillet.
• Transfer skillet to oven. Roast until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part of steak registers desired doneness, 5 to 15 minutes. Transfer to a plate; spread with 1 tablespoon Steak Butter. Cover loosely with aluminum foil, and let rest 5 to 10 minutes (temperature will then rise another 5 to 10 degrees). Slice across the grain; serve with remaining Steak Butter. Cover and refrigerate any leftovers, up to 2 days.

PAN SEARED PORK CHOPS WITH GLAZED CARROTS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°F Dredge the pork chops (or steaks) in the spices (except oil). Let them sit for about 30 minutes to absorb the flavor of the spices.
• Heat frying pan (that is oven safe) over medium high heat with the oil. Place the chops/steaks into the heated pan and sear until golden brown (about 5 minutes each side).
• Cut carrots into thin slices and toss them in a bowl with the thyme, olive oil, salt and pepper. Add the carrots to the saute pan with the pork chops.
• Place the saute pan into the oven for about 10 minutes or until chops are cooked thru.
• Remove the chops/steaks from the pan onto serving plates, and leaving the carrots, deglaze the pan with the orange juice.
• Place carrots atop the chops and drizzle with glaze.

CAST IRON PAN-SEARED STEAK (OVEN-FINISHED)

Steps:

• Place steaks side by side in large casserole dish. Add orange juice, cider vinegar, and Worcestershire sauce. Refrigerate, uncovered, for 45 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
• Remove casserole dish from refrigerator. Cover steaks with plastic wrap and let reach room temperature, at least 15 minutes.
• Heat olive oil in a cast-iron skillet over high heat.
• Place steaks on a clean work surface and generously rub with steak seasoning and black pepper.
• Cook steaks in the hot skillet until lightly browned on the bottom, 2 1/2 minutes. Flip and cook until browned on the other side and red in the center, about 2 minutes more. Place skillet, with steaks, into the oven.
• Bake in the preheated oven until steaks are firm and reddish-pink to lightly pink in the center, 8 to 10 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read from 130 degrees F (54 degrees C) to 140 degrees F (60 degrees C).
• Remove steaks from oven; season with salt. Let sit for 5 minutes before serving.
