LORUSSO'S - TENDERLOIN MUDEGA (STEAK MODIGA)



Lorusso's - Tenderloin Mudega (Steak Modiga) image

My husband and I often go to "the hill" in St. Louis. It is an Italian neighborhood featuring some of the best restaurants and little Italian grocers. For our anniversary we went to LoRusso's Cucina and my DH order Tenderloin Mudega. He LOVED his meal and said it was the best thing he'd ever eaten. To my surprise they posted their recipe online. The cheese used at the restaurant is "provel" but I think that is only found in St. Louis. You can substitute any white, mild cheese you'd like. Here it is for all of us to make at home. I can't wait to surprise him with this one!!!

TRADITIONAL STEAK MODIGA

This is an absolute favorite. This is served at a local restaurant. I usually double the sauce so we can dip our french bread into it. It is just as good with chicken as the steak. We will often make half chicken and half steak. I would also suggest using a good quality chicken stock. My personal opinion is you really do need to use provel cheese. I have tried substituting and wasn't as happy with the results. Hope you enjoy.

STEAK MODIGA



Steak Modiga image

Fabulous steak recipe that my father copied from a local Italian place that is an institution in St. Louis. This recipe is rich, but I promise you will love it. Cook time does not include steak cooking, as everyone likes theirs (at least in our family) to varying degrees of doneness. If you live in St. Louis and like provelone cheese, use that here. For the wine, use a fuller one like Chardonnay; Pinot Grisio and Blancos tend to be too light.

  • 1. Adjust oven rack to middle position and heat oven to 400 degrees. Set wire rack in rimmed baking sheet. Pat steaks dry with paper towels and season with salt and pepper; set aside. 2. Melt butter in large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper and cook until liquid has evaporated and mushrooms begin to brown, 5 to 7 minutes.

TUSCAN RIB-EYE STEAK



Tuscan Rib-Eye Steak image

Provided by Giada De Laurentiis

Categories     main-dish

Time 12h40m

Yield 1 to 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

One 18-ounce bone-in rib-eye steak, about 1 1/2-inches thick
2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
4 sprigs fresh rosemary
4 sprigs fresh thyme
2 cloves garlic, peeled and smashed
1 1/4 teaspoons kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon lemon zest
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
2 teaspoons plus 1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary
1/4 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus more for seasoning
1 large egg
6 or 7 leaves baby arugula

Steps:

  • For the marinade: The day before you plan on cooking your steak, place the rib-eye in a resealable baggie along with the olive oil, rosemary, thyme and garlic. Move the herbs and garlic around in the bag to coat the steak with all the flavors. Refrigerate overnight.
  • For the steak: Remove the steak from the refrigerator 30 minutes before cooking. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Sprinkle the steak evenly with 1 teaspoon of the salt. Place the steak on the grill pan and sear for 5 minutes without moving the steak. Flip the steak and repeat on the other side. Remove the steak to a baking sheet and place in the oven for 10 minutes for medium doneness. Allow the steak to rest for 15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, in a small bowl mix together the lemon zest, lemon juice, 2 teaspoons olive oil, rosemary, thyme, 1/8 teaspoon of the salt and 1/8 teaspoon of the pepper. Set aside.
  • Heat a small nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add 1 teaspoon olive oil and slide in the egg, being careful not to break the yolk. Sprinkle with the remaining 1/8 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper. Reduce the heat to medium-low and gently cook the egg until the white is just set and the yolk is still soft, about 3 minutes.
  • Transfer the rested steak to a serving plate. Scatter the arugula over the steak and drizzle 1 teaspoon of the herb oil. Lay the egg, sunny-side up, over the top. Drizzle with the remaining herb oil and season with a few grinds of black pepper.
