Marinated Country Fried Steak
By Natalie Gregory

This steak was developed by research teams of University of Nebraska and University of Florida through the National Cattlemen’s Association research funding. It is actually a top blade steak derived from the tender top blade (chuck) roast. It is known as the “poor man’s prime rib” and “center cut pot roast”. It's considered a tough cut of meat and is most suitable for a long cooking in liquid at low heat. The steak is loaded with connective tissue (gristle) and a bone so be sure to pull the tissue away. Moist heat is best since it contains gristle which can make the meat tough if using dry heat.

 

It is called 7 bone steak because the bone resembles the number 7 in shape. If you intend to grill or broil this meat, many will marinate overnight. This will soften the cut and add flavor.

 

Use seasonings of your choice. Braising liquids can be water, vegetable or beef stock, wine, or beer. You can toss in potatoes, onions, celery, or carrots or vegetables of your choice. 

7 Bone Chuck Steak Tips

Ingredients:

  • 2 “7” bone steaks (1 ½ lb each)

  • 4 tsp salt

  • 3 tsp powdered garlic

  • 2 tsp pepper

  • 1 tsp cumin

 

Directions:

Mix seasonings. Season steaks on both sides. Preheat grill to medium high heat. Grill steaks about 10-15 minutes TOTAL (depending on the thickness) for medium rare, flipping 2-3 times. Serve with compound butter.

 

TO BROIL:

Set rack at top position (4 inches) from broiler. Place seasoned steaks on pan and broil 4-5 minutes per side for medium rare. You may need to rotate pan for even char. Check steaks after 3 minutes as ovens vary. 

​

If broiling steaks in a cast iron skillet, you will get a better char, BUT will need to lower position of oven rack.

Smothered Cajun 7 Bone Steak
By Debbie Guidry

Some say the flat iron steak is the second-most tender steak on an animal, after the filet. It comes from the shoulder, within the shoulder blade. It is a narrow steak, so you want it cool when it hits the heat as to prevent overcooking. Also many people put pepper directly on the steak after cooking so that it won’t burn and taste bitter. Slice across the grain.

​

  1. Pat steaks dry and bring to room temperature (do this with all steaks).

  2. Season with oil and salt.

  3. Cook until the temperature reaches 130° F for medium rare, being careful not to overcook, as it will render the steak dry and flavorless.

  4. Remove from heat. Add a dollop of butter and tent the steak with foil to retain heat while resting 5-10 minutes (It will continue to cook).

  5. Slice across the grain.

  6. The tenderness of this steak is the result of being located towards the top of the shoulder where it gets less exercise than the rest of the shoulder muscles. It has a rich beefy flavor similar to a NY strip.

Oven Cooked Hanger Steak

A hanger steak is also known as a butcher's steak or butcher's secret. It hangs from the diaphragm of the animal or the plate section (upper belly) of the animal. It is prized for its flavor. It resembles a flank steak in texture. Some say the hanger has the rich flavor of a rib-eye - crossed with a melt-in-your-mouth beef tenderloin. Because this muscle does very little work, it's extremely tender and flavorful.

Ingredients:

  • Hanger Steak

  • 2 tsp olive oil

  • 1 tsp salt

  • 1/2 tsp black pepper

  • 1/2 tsp white pepper

  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter

​

Directions:

  1. Remove steak from packaging and let sit at room temperature for 30 minutes (If steak has a silver skin, remove. Carefully cut out the connective tissue that connects the 2 halves, separating the whole into 2 long pieces. May cut larger halves into 2 steaks.)

  2. Preheat oven 400° F.

  3. Rub steaks on each side with olive oil. Stir together salt and peppers and rub on each side.

  4. Heat an iron skillet on high heat. Add 2 Tbsp of butter and let melt. Sear steaks 2-3 minutes on each side. Add remaining butter and let melt as meat sears using a spoon to baste the top side of the steak as it sears.

  5. Once seared, place the skillet in the oven and cook until the steak reaches an internal temperature of 120° F. (About 5-10 minutes)

  6. Remove steak from oven AND pan onto a cutting board and let rest 5-10 minutes before serving. (The internal temperature will continue to rise.)

  7. Slice thinly across the grain and serve.

Ingredients:

  • 1 grassfed boneless NY strip steak (aged in vacuum package in refrigerator for 10-14 days)

  • 1 Tbsp olive oil

  • Sea salt and pepper

​

Red Wine Mushroom Sauce:

  • 1 shallot or Vidalia® onion, thinly chopped

  • 1 cup (8 oz) sliced baby bella mushrooms

  • 1 ½ tsp fresh thyme (We used powdered)

  • 1 cup dry full-bodied red wine (We used Merlot)

  • 3 Tbsp unsalted butter

  • Sea salt and pepper to taste

​

Directions:

  1. Remove steak from packaging after 10-14 days and pat dry with paper towels. Let steak come to room temperature, about 30-60 minutes. Pat dry again just before cooking.

  2. Season steak on both sides with salt and pepper.

  3. Place in a well seasoned cast iron skillet on the stove on high heat. When pan is very HOT and smoking, add olive oil and place steak in the hot pan. Cook on the first side about a minute (it should be sizzling). With tongs flip the steak over and sear the other side. Keep cooking over the high heat, flipping every 30 seconds for 4-5 minutes. It should be nice and dark and crusty! Check for doneness (medium rare, 120-125° F). Remember the steak will continue to cook after removing from the heat! Place on  plate and tent with foil while making the sauce.

  4. Lower the heat to medium for the pan to cool a bit, add more oil if needed and place the mushrooms, onions, and thyme. Sauté for 5 minutes until mushrooms begin to brown and soften. Add red wine and scrape the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon to get any brown bits. Bring to a boil.

  5. Cook until it reduces to about half (7-8 minutes). Turn heat to low and stir in butter. When the butter has melted, remove the sauce from heat. Season with salt and pepper. Serve the steak with wine sauce drizzled over the top.

Ribeye Steak

Marinated Sirloin Steak

Marinade by: Lara Lyn Carter

Ingredients: 

  • 2 lbs of Sirloin Steak

  • 1/4 cup pecan oil

  • 2 Tbsp chopped fresh rosemary

  • 2 Tbsp chopped fresh oregano

  • 1 clove minced garlic

 

Directions:

Combine ingredients and marinate overnight. Grill on a high heat (around 400° F) for about 5-6 minutes on each side, or until internal temp reaches medium rare (around 135-140° F). Remove from heat and allow to rest 5-10 minutes. Cut thinly across the grain and serve over salad.

Ingredients:

  • Steak (1 ¼ to 1 ½ inches thick) - NY Strip, Filet, Sirloin, Ribeye, T-Bone etc.

  • ½ to 1 tsp course Kosher or course Sea salt

 

Directions:

Place salt on meat. For each inch of thickness, let sit at room temperature for 1 hour.

 

Less than 1 inch steaks, sit for 30-45 minutes. (1 ¼ inch sits 1 hour 15 minutes) ( 1 ½ inch sits 1 hour 30 minutes)

 

Not much time to sit; add more salt and limit the time!

 

RELATED: thickness of meat: amount of salt: time  

 

Got more time; cut back on salt and let sit longer!

 

RINSE all salt off BOTH sides!  Pat Very Dry on both sides.

 

Season with fresh ground pepper, add NO more SALT!!

 

GRILL:  When cooked, immediately remove from grill, top with Garlic-Herb Butter, wrap in foil and let sit for 5 minutes. Save juices for rice or potato.

 

REMEMBER: watch grilling time on steaks, less than 1 inch.

 

Also, the more marbled meat, limit timing and salt. Fattier (marbled) meat, faster the salt works through the meat.

 

Garlic-Herbed Butter

Grilled Steak with Garlic Herb Butter

Chefs refer to these as “the poor man’s rib eye” because it comes from the 5th rib of the cow. (Rib eyes come from ribs 6-12).  As you can see it is very close to the rib eyes and you can have a steak dinner for a fraction of the cost.

 

Ingredients:

  • 2 chuck eye steaks

  • 1 tsp kosher salt

  • ½ tsp ground pepper

  • 2 Tbsp olive oil

  • 1 Tbsp unsalted butter

​

  3. In meantime preheat oven to 450° F.

  4. Heat oil in a 12 inch cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Place steaks in hot oil and sear 3 minutes per side. Put skillet in oven and cook until desired degree of doneness, about 5 minutes for medium-rare.

  5. Remove from oven and add butter (and garlic if desired)

  6. Place steaks on a plate and let rest 5 minutes. Thinly slice against grain and serve with a sprinkle of sea salt

Chuck Eye Steak

Flank steak is a tougher cut of meat because it comes from the hard-working heavy muscled abdominal area. It has a meaty flavor that works best cut thinly against the grain meaning you are cutting in the opposite lines in the meat.

​

(If you cut with the grain, the meat will be chewy.)  Marinades not only add flavor to this steak, but often are used to make this cut of beef a little more tender.

​

If you have a favorite marinade, use this as a liquid base for cooking in your crock pot. Remember, flavors intensify with the duration of cooking, so you may want to be light-handed with the spices, onion and garlic. (Possibly cutting those amounts in half.)
