Pan-seared Tenderloin Steaks with Pan-Sauce 3 Ways

Pan searing is a simple way to create restaurant-style steaks at home. Once you know how, you will be surprised how easy it is to do. The best cuts of beef to use for this recipe are ones labelled ‘grilling steaks’ such as centre cut tenderloin, top sirloin or rib-eye. Serve the pan-seared steak with one of these simple pan sauces. The robust flavour will add extra zip to the steaks. The image is the Ginger-Miso Pan-sauce version.

House-Smoked Beef Brisket

Most people don’t have a backyard smoker, so this recipe, while unconventional, allows anyone with a regular kitchen stove to produce a brisket with a natural wood-smoke flavor. Note that your house will smell like smoked meat for a couple of days afterward, but that’s not the worst problem to have.

Beef Liver and Onions

I used to hate liver, probably because of a run-in I had with some that wasn’t cooked very well when I was a wee lad. That all changed when I started working in restaurants and cooking liver regularly. I became much more used to the flavour and aroma, and I grew to enjoy it. Liver and onions are a classic diner dish, slightly elevated here with the addition of balsamic vinegar.

Grilled Beef Heart

The next time you’re craving beef but you feel like saving a few bucks, why not try beef heart? Heart is a muscle, not an organ, so it has a steak-like quality that people who are squeamish about organs will be cool with. I developed this recipe years ago when I was at Mistura; it’s a cross between a steak dish and a carpaccio. Serve it as an appetizer at your next party and see if anyone notices what cut it is. This recipe calls for the heart to be barbecued, but you can absolutely sear it in a hot frying pan instead.

Reverse-Seared Sirloin Cap Steak with Chimichurri Sauce

Very slowly cooking a steak at low temperature until it reaches the desired internal temperature and then searing it quickly over high heat to get a crust is known as reverse-searing, and it takes a lot of the guesswork out of cooking a steak perfectly. In this recipe, I use the sirloin cap—the triangular muscle that sits on the top sirloin—called a coulotte in France and a picanha steak in Brazil. Whatever you call it, this cut has a natural fat cap, which I leave on while cooking so the rendered fat bastes the steak. If you prefer, you can remove the fat or ask your butcher to do it for you. Note: Start this at least 12 hours before you plan to eat.
