T-BONE STEAK WITH CHARRED TOMATO-HORSERADISH BUTTER

Steps:

• Preheat a grill to medium high, then prepare for indirect grilling (for a charcoal grill, bank the coals to one side of the grill; for a gas grill, turn off half the burners). Let the steaks stand at room temperature, 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, brush the grill grates with vegetable oil. Grill the tomato halves over direct heat until charred, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Let cool, then transfer to a mini food processor; pulse until slightly chunky. Add the butter, horseradish, tomato paste, paprika, garlic, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Process until smooth, scraping down the food processor occasionally. Transfer the tomato butter to a bowl and refrigerate until ready to use.
• Season the steaks with salt and pepper. Place on the cooler side of the grill. Cover and cook until a thermometer inserted sideways into the center registers 110 degrees F, about 8 minutes per side. Move the steaks to direct heat and cook, uncovered, until charred and the thermometer registers 125 degrees F for rare to medium rare, about 2 more minutes per side. Transfer to a cutting board or baking sheet; spread the tomato butter on the steaks and let rest 10 minutes before slicing.

SEARED FISH STEAKS WITH HORSERADISH BUTTER

Steps:

• Steaks:
• 1. Set a heavy-bottomed 12-inch skillet over low heat for 5 to 10 minutes, or medium heat for 3 to 4 minutes, while preparing the meal and seasoning the fish steaks. Three to four minutes before searing the fish steaks, turn on the exhaust fan and increase the heat to high.
• 2. Set steaks on a plate, drizzle with oil; turn to coat. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
• 3. A minute or so after the residual oils in the skillet send up wisps of smoke, put the fish steaks in the pan. Cook over high heat until the steaks develop a thick, rich brown crust, about 3 1/2 to 4 minutes. Turn the steaks and continue to cook over high heat until the other sides develop a thick, rich brown crust and the fish is medium-rare to medium, 3 1/2 to 4 minutes longer. (For medium-well-done fish, turn the heat to low and cook, turning once, for 1 to 2 minutes longer.) Remove to a plate and let stand 5 minutes.
• 4. Serve with lemon wedges, or an uncooked relish or flavored butter. Or make a pan sauce by adding 1/2 cup liquid to the skillet; boil until the liquid is reduced to about 1/4 cup. Tilting the skillet so that the reduced liquid is at one side of the pan, whisk in butter or other enrichments until the sauce is smooth and glossy.
• Butter:
• Mash the horseradish and butter into a paste. Add the vinegar and season to taste with salt and pepper. Smear a tablespoon of flavored butter over each portion and serve immediately.
