Italian Bavette Steaks

Instructions

Potato-Bacon Frittata

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Boil potatoes in salted water for 5 minutes, then drain and cool with cold water. Strain into medium bowl and set aside.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, heavy cream, hot sauce, Worcestershire sauce, kosher salt, and black pepper and whisk until fully incorporated.
  • Add olive oil and bacon to cold 10” non-stick skillet and bring to medium heat. Continuously sauté for 6 to 8 minutes until bacon is golden brown.
  • Add potatoes to pan with pinch of salt and pepper and sauté for an additional 2 minutes.
  • Add eggs to pan and use a rubber or wooden spatula to gently pull eggs in from sides of the pan to the center, cooking for 1 minute and distributing fillings evenly.
  • Add Parmesan cheese and minced chives and continuously cook, pulling in eggs from sides of pan for another minute until all fillings are distributed equally.
  • Place pan in preheated oven and bake for 6 to 8 minutes or until frittata gets lightly golden brown and puffs up slightly.
  • Remove from oven, place a large plate upside down on top of pan, and flip frittata onto plate; allow to cool 8 to 10 minutes before slicing.
  • Garnish frittata slices with freshly grated Parmesan cheese and minced chives.

Balsamic Mushrooms

  • In a large saucepan, add olive oil and bring to medium-high heat.
  • Add mushrooms to pan, season with salt and pepper, and sauté 2 minutes; add garlic and continue to cook for additional 3 to 4 minutes, until liquid in pan has reduced to 1/3 in volume.
  • Add balsamic vinegar to pan and sauté for 30 to 45 seconds, until reduced to 1/3 in volume; turn off heat, add butter and parsley, and gently shake pan until butter emulsifies into pan sauce.

Italian Bavette Steaks

  • Thaw steaks in refrigerator overnight; remove, pat dry, and season liberally with Omaha Steaks Seasoning. Let sit on counter for 10 minutes.
  • Shake Italian dressing and marinade bottle until well mixed, then pour 2 cups into medium bowl and submerge steaks in bowl; place back in refrigerator and marinate for 2 hours, flipping steaks after 1 hour.
  • Remove steaks from Italian dressing and pat dry with paper towels, then bring to room temperature over about 20 minutes.
  • In a large cast-iron pan, add grapeseed oil and bring to medium-high heat; add steak to pan and sear for 2 to 3 minutes until golden brown, then add butter, flip steaks, and butter-baste for 30 seconds. Continue to cook another 3 to 4 minutes to medium-rare doneness. (To cook to a higher desired cooking doneness, refer to Omaha Steaks cooking chart).
  • Rest steaks for 5 to 6 minutes, then cut 1/2” slices against the grain.
  • Serve with frittata and balsamic mushrooms.
