Cowboy Steak with Roasted Shallot Gremolata

I brought this along with me when I went to my sister for Shabbos, and everyone went crazy over the incredibly flavorful sauce. “Make sure to tell your readers that the sauce is amazing,” my sister said. “Even if they’re not making the steak, they must make the sauce!”

Directions

Prepare the Gremolata

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. Place shallots, ginger, jalapeño, two tablespoons olive oil, salt, and pepper onto the prepared baking sheet. Bake for about 30 minutes, until vegetables are browned; set aside to cool.

  3. Place the cooled vegetable mixture into the bowl of a food processor fitted with the S-blade. Add the remaining olive oil and lemon juice. Puree for one to two minutes, until fully smooth. Add herbs and pulse until herbs are chopped and incorporated but still have a bit of texture.

  4. Remove from food processor and add more oil, as needed, to reach a thick but pourable consistency. Store in fridge until ready to serve.

Prepare the Steak

  1. Preheat the oven to 225 degrees Fahrenheit (105 degrees Celsius).

  2. Generously season both sides of the steak with salt and pepper. Place on a baking sheet. For best results, place a wire rack between the baking sheet and the meat.

  3. Cook the meat until the steak reaches an internal temperature of 10–15 degrees Fahrenheit (5–7 degrees Celsius) below your desired temperature. For medium

    rare, I like steak at about 130–135 degrees Fahrenheit (54–57 degrees Celsius), so you’ll need to take it out of the oven at about 120 degrees Fahrenheit (49 degrees Celsius). This will likely take about one hour, depending on the thickness of your steak.

  4. Heat a grill pan or cast-iron pan on the highest heat until it’s smoking hot. Sear meat for one to two minutes per side, until it develops a nice crust on the outside. Make sure to sear the sides as well. Let the steak rest for a few minutes before slicing.

To Serve

  1. To serve, slice steak and drizzle gremolata over it.

Tips:
Use leftover gremolata as a sauce for grilled chicken or fish or drizzle it over roasted vegetables. You can also mix it with mayonnaise to use as a salad dressing.

Notes:
Plan Ahead: Gremolata can be prepared two to three days in advance. Steak can be reverse-seared and placed in the fridge for one to two days, then do the final searing just before the meal.

To make meat like this flawlessly, I strongly recommend a meat thermometer. You can get one for about $10 on Amazon, and it’s the only way to ensure a perfectly done steak.
