Steak With Faro Recipes

GRILLED RIB EYE STEAK ON FETA FARRO WITH GARDEN GOODIES AND GRILLED LEMON

Steps:

• For the compound butter: Combine the butter, parsley, scallions, lemon juice, salt and pepper in a small bowl and mash with a spoon to combine. Scrape onto a piece of parchment and form into a log. Roll up and twirl the ends to tightly seal and form a tight log about 3 inches long. Refrigerate until firm, at least 1 hour.
• For the dukkah seasoning: Toast the cumin and coriander in a small skillet over low heat until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Cool and crush in a spice grinder or with a mortar and pestle. Transfer to a small bowl and stir in the almonds, sesame seeds and salt. Set aside.
• For the farro: Bring a large pot of salted water to boil, as for pasta. Add the farro, then reduce the heat and simmer rapidly until just tender, about 30 minutes. Rinse to cool and drain well. Add to a serving bowl.
• Preheat a 2-burner grill pan or outdoor grill to medium to medium-high heat.
• For the steaks: Combine the brown sugar, paprika, salt and pepper in a small bowl. Rub all over the steaks on both sides. Place the steaks on the grill. Grill for 90 seconds, then give the steaks a 90-degree turn. Grill for another 90 seconds, then flip the steaks. Repeat the procedure on the second side, cooking the steaks 6 to 7 minutes total for medium-rare.
• Remove the steaks to a cutting board and let rest for 5 minutes. Unwrap the chilled butter and slice into 4 or 5 rounds. Place on the steaks to melt while they rest.
• Meanwhile, grill the scallions until tender, turning once, 2 to 3 minutes. Grill the lemon until charred on the cut sides, about 2 minutes. Chop the scallions and add to the bowl with the farro. Squeeze the lemon over the farro and add the tomatoes, cucumbers, Garlic Oil, cilantro, mint, feta and dukkah. Toss well and season with salt if needed. Mound the salad on a serving platter. Thinly slice the steaks against the grain and place on the salad. Serve immediately.
• Combine the garlic cloves, rosemary sprigs, thyme sprigs, bay leaf and oil in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer over the lowest heat and cook until the cloves are light golden and completely tender, about 30 minutes. Let cool. Remove the herbs and stir in the red pepper flakes.

STEAK WITH FARO

Steps:

• In a large sauce pan over high heat, combine the faro, salt and pepper. Add enough water to cover the faro by 2-3 inches, bring to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer for 25 to 30 minutes until the faro is tender and chewy. Drain the excess water and transfer to faro to a serving bowl. Heat 1 cup of water in a large skillet, bring to a simmer, add the asparagus and cook for 2 minutes until the asparagus is tender but still bright green. Plunge the asparagus into ice water just long enough to stop the cooking and then transfer to a plate. Add the chili sauce, asparagus, carrots, radishes and onion to the cooked faro. Serve topped with slices of steak.

STEAK ALFREDO

Steps:

• Heat milk and cream in a saucepan over medium heat until simmering, about 5 minutes. Slowly whip in Parmesan and Romano cheeses and remove from heat. Whisk egg yolks together in a heat-proof bowl and slowly add about 1/4 cup of the hot sauce to temper eggs. Whisk egg mixture into the saucepan slowly. Season with salt and pepper. Allow Alfredo sauce to cool and refrigerate until needed.
• Combine salad dressing, rosemary, and lemon juice in a large bowl. Add steak and stir to coat. Marinate in the refrigerator for 4 hours.
• When ready to prepare the meal, preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil. Cook fettuccine at a boil until tender yet firm to the bite, about 8 minutes.
• Heat 2 cups refrigerated Alfredo sauce in a saucepan over medium heat. Add spinach and 2 tablespoons Gorgonzola cheese.
• Remove steak from marinade and cook on the preheated grill to desired doneness, 5 to 10 minutes.
• Pour hot Alfredo sauce into a large serving bowl. Add cooked pasta and mix to combine. Sprinkle remaining Gorgonzola cheese on top. Add grilled steak and drizzle the meat with balsamic glaze. Garnish with parsley.
