Tonys Steak Recipes

PEPPERCORN STEAKS

Steps:

• Rub pepper over both sides of steaks. Refrigerate for 15 minutes. In an ungreased skillet, brown steaks on both sides over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium; add butter and garlic; cook for 4-6 minutes, turning steaks once. Add Worcestershire sauce; cook 4-6 minutes longer, turning once, or until meat reaches desired doneness (for medium-rare, a thermometer should read 135°; medium, 140°; medium-well, 145°). Remove steaks and keep warm. , Combine wine or broth, mustard and sugar; add to the pan. Stir to loosen browned bits. Combine cornstarch and water until smooth; add to pan. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Serve with the steaks.

TONY'S STEAK

Steps:

• Combine scallions and next 7 ingredients in a large resealable plastic bag and mix well. Add steak; seal bag, pressing out excess air. Turn steak to coat. Refrigerate overnight, turning bag occasionally.
• Build a medium-hot fire in a charcoal grill, or heat a gas grill to high. Remove steak from bag; wipe off excess marinade. Season both sides lightly with salt. Grill steak until well browned, about 6 minutes per side for medium-rare. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest for 10 minutes. Slice thinly against the grain.

RIB EYE STEAKS WITH COWBOY BUTTER

Steps:

• For the cowboy butter: Well in advance, make the cowboy butter. Place the softened butter in the bowl of a mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. Whip the butter until it's fluffy. Add the parsley, red pepper flakes, black pepper, garlic, lemon zest and the juice of half the lemon. Mix it until it's totally combined, scraping the sides as needed. Add more parsley, more lemon juice, more pepper or salt if you'd like.
• Lay out a long piece of plastic wrap and scoop the butter mixture in a long strip down the middle of it. Carefully pull one side of the plastic wrap over the butter, squeezing it gently to form it into a log. Continue to roll the log of butter into a roll. When it's all rolled up, twist the ends (like a piece of candy) until they become very taut (this means the butter is pressing together inside the plastic to form a cohesive roll). Place the roll of butter into the fridge so it will harden, or into the freezer if you need to speed along the process.
• For the steaks: Preheat the oven to 475 degrees F. Sprinkle salt and pepper on both sides of the steaks.
• Melt the butter in a heavy ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. When it's melted and golden brown, sear the steaks for about 45 seconds per side. Set in the oven to finish, about 3 minutes.
• Lay a thick slice of cowboy butter on top of each steak so it will begin to melt. Serve within 5 minutes.

TONY'S CHEESE STEAK PANINI

Steps:

• I used my Cuisinart griddler to make the Panini''s.
• Mix up all the ingredients for the aioli and set aside. Now, you gotta love garlic to enjoy this aioli because when it is pressed it packs a punch of flavor.
• Mix together your softened butter with parmesan cheese. I didn't measure the butter but I was generous with it. Butter the outside of 4 slices.
• Heat up a medium pan and add your thin sliced beef and peppers right to the pan. This will cook up really fast. Once meat is cooked add your grated cheese right on top of the meat in the pan. Let it melt and make sure cheese is distributed well.
• I placed the bread butter side down on grill and then spread the aioli sauce. I took the pan that has the steak in it and used a fork to top the bread with. I made sure I added some peppers too. Then I did the same to the other slice of bread and added the aioli and topped the sandwich. Now, it's ready to grill into a Panini.
• Grill about 5 to 7 minutes. I do usually flip the Panini once while grilling about 1/2 way thru cook time.
• Now you are ready to plate your Panini and slice it to serve.
• Ready to eat...go ahead and take a bite. I know you'll love it. hehe
