GRACE LOVE'S SMOTHERED STEAK



Grace Love's Smothered Steak image

Seattle-based soul singer Grace Love was born in the South, and learned to cook watching her parents in the kitchen. This satisfying dish was created using pantry staples. She calls it smothered because it's covered and finished in the oven. She calls it simple, but it's definitely comfort food at its Southern finest. Serve over steamed white rice.

Time 1h24m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 tablespoon sea salt
1 tablespoon garlic salt
1 ½ teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
1 ½ teaspoons brown sugar
1 ½ teaspoons powdered honey
1 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
2 pounds beef chuck steak
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 onions, diced
2 yellow bell peppers, diced
1 cup sliced mushrooms
½ cup water

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Combine sea salt, garlic salt, black pepper, brown sugar, powdered honey, cayenne pepper, and red pepper flakes in a small bowl to make spice rub.
  • Measure out 2 tablespoons of the spice rub and use to season steak on all sides.
  • Heat oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add onions; cook and stir until they start to become translucent, about 3 minutes. Add bell peppers and mushrooms; saute until tender, about 3 minutes.
  • Clear a space in the center of the skillet; add seasoned steak. Cook until surface of the steak starts to brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Flip steak. Pour water into the skillet and cover with aluminum foil.

Categories     main-dish

Time 3h5m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 medium tomatoes (about 1 pound), cut into thick wedges
1/2 large red onion, cut into thick wedges
1 small or 1/2 large jalapeno
1 small clove garlic, unpeeled
1/2 cup packed fresh cilantro leaves
1/2 tablespoon chopped canned chipotles in adobo (with some of the sauce), plus more to taste
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 cup canola or other neutral oil
1 1/2 pounds skirt steak
Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
2 large (or 4 small) heads romaine lettuce, halved lengthwise and cores left intact
3 tablespoons olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice (from about 2 lemons)

Steps:

  • For the roasted tomato salsa: Position a rack in the middle of the oven and preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. (Or prepare a grill for high heat.)
  • Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Place the tomatoes, onions, jalapeno and garlic on the parchment. Roast for 15 to 20 minutes, then remove the onions and garlic and set aside; peel the garlic. Return the baking sheet to the oven and roast the jalapeno and tomatoes until charred and soft, about 15 minutes more.
  • (Or, if making on the grill, place the vegetables on a perforated pan or aluminum foil on the hot grill. Cook, covered and turning when necessary, until all the vegetables are evenly charred and soft. The tomatoes and jalapeno will take longer than the garlic and onions, so remove everything as it finishes cooking.)
  • Transfer all the vegetables to a blender and add the cilantro, chipotles with adobo sauce and salt. Blend on medium speed until a uniform puree has formed. With the motor running, slowly add the oil until emulsified and completely incorporated. If the consistency of the salsa is too thick, add some water 1 tablespoon at a time until the desired consistency is achieved. Taste and adjust the seasonings, adding more chipotle if desired. Let cool before using, or transfer to an airtight container and refrigerate until needed. The salsa will keep for up to 1 week.
  • For the skirt steak: Season the steak on both sides with salt and pepper. Toss with some of the roasted tomato salsa and marinate, refrigerated, for at least 1 1/2 hours and up to overnight. Reserve the remaining salsa for serving.
  • For the grilled romaine: To clean the romaine, place the halves in a large bowl (or several bowls) filled with cold water. Swoosh the lettuce gently in the water and let it sit for 10 minutes--the dirt and grime will settle to the bottom of the bowl. Gently lift the lettuce out of the water and rinse the bowl. Repeat the cleaning process until the water remains clean after you've swished the leaves around in it. Gently pat the lettuce dry around and between the leaves to remove as much moisture as possible. Rinse and dry the bowl, and place the lettuce back in it. Season the lettuce with the olive oil and some salt and pepper, and gently toss to combine.
  • Prepare a grill or grill pan for medium-high heat.
  • Remove the steak from the marinade and let any excess marinade drip off. Grill 4 to 5 minutes per side for medium rare. Let rest for 5 to 7 minutes.
  • Place the romaine halves on the grill cut-side down and grill until well marked, about 2 minutes. Rotate the romaine 45 degrees and grill until well marked again, 2 minutes more. (If doing this on a grill pan, you may need to work in batches.)
  • Transfer the romaine halves to a cutting board and chop them into 2-inch pieces. Place the romaine in a large bowl and toss with the lemon juice. Slice the steaks thin and serve with the reserved roasted tomato salsa and grilled romaine. Serve immediately.
