This technique for diamond cut steak, pan seared and served with garlic butter pan sauce, will help you turn a cheaper cut of meat into a truly succulent and surprisingly tender steak. It's very easy, quick, and will be the most delicious garlic butter steak sandwich you'll ever have.
Ingredients
- 1 round steak , 5 to 6 ounce
- 1.5 teaspoons vegetable oil
- salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- 1 rounded tablespoon butter
- 1 clove garlic
- 0.33 cups beef broth or water
- 1 tablespoon chopped Italian parsley or other fresh herb
- 1 slice French bread
Instructions
-
1
Diamond cut steak as demonstrated in the video, and rub both sides with oil. Season with salt and pepper; refrigerate until ready to cook. Place a heavy-duty sauté pan over high heat, and preheat for several minutes.

2
Sear the steak for about 1 minute per side for medium, or to your desired doneness. Remove the steak to a plate, turn off the heat, and toss butter into the pan along with garlic. Stir for about 15 seconds, and then add broth or water. Stir, scraping any of the charred bits off the bottom of the pan.

Additional liquid can be added if the pan gets dry, or the heat can be turned back on to reduce if there's too much liquid. You should end up with about 3 tablespoons of sauce. Stir in the parsley.

Miso-Glazed Black Cod
This is my take on miso-glazed black cod, made famous by Chef Nobu Matsuhisa. In addition to a taste and texture to die for, this is one of the easiest fish recipes of all time. A couple minutes to make the sauce, some brushing, a short wait, and you're broiling. By the way, I don't like to cook both sides — I like the heat to only penetrate from the top down. This makes for a lovely caramelized top and a super juicy interior. Cooking times will vary, but simply broil the fish until the meat flakes easily and the bones pull out with no effort.
Beef and Barley Soup III
This is what I consider the ultimate beef soup. Great on a frosty day. For beef stock, I use 2 1/2 quarts water and 6 teaspoons beef base. Also, use inexpensive red wine. No need for the good stuff here, and cheaper actually works better! Try with leftover pot roast.
