STEAK TOWERS

Steps:

• Preheat a grill pan on high heat for 5 minutes. Meanwhile, rub the beef all over with the garlic clove, coat with olive oil and season on all sides with salt and pepper. Reduce the heat to medium high and grill the steak over direct heat covered with a metal bowl, turning once, until medium rare, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest for 5 minutes. Cut into 1/2-inch-thick slices. Cut the slices into 1-inch squares.
• Combine the cheese, basil, lemon juice, sugar and a pinch of salt and pepper in a small bowl; mix until thoroughly combined. Spoon the mixture into a resealable plastic bag with 1 corner snipped.
• To assemble, pat dry the cucumber slices. Pipe a small dollop of the cheese mixture onto each cucumber round. Place a square of steak on top, then pipe a teaspoon of the cheese mixture on top. Garnish each with the tomatoes and onion.

ASIAN MARINATED STEAK

Steps:

• Mix marinade ingredients in a container, and add beef. Turn the meat to ensure it is coated on all sides, and place in refrigerator. Marinate 4-5 hours or overnight, turning once or twice to ensure the marinade gets all sides evenly.
• Remove steaks from the fridge one hour before cooking to let them come to temperature. Preheat your grill to medium high with another section at medium low.
• Sear beef 3-4 minutes per side on medium high. Move to medium low to finish cooking until internal temperature reaches 145 degrees.
• Remove beef and let it rest, tented by tin foil for 5-10 minutes. Once the meat has rested, slice against the grain for serving.
• Serve with rice, julienned carrots and sliced green onion and vegetables of your choice.
