Zue's Red wine vinegar Steak & Pan Seared Scallops
Steak:
Flank or Roast cut - score lightly
Pat in salt and pepper
Marinate with Red wine vinegar & Red wine Sherry for 1 hr
Heat oil, drain (reserve the marinate) and sear steaks on both sides, cut into strips
Red wine Gravy:
Add marinate to steak drippings, bring to boil
Add flour, Red Sherry wine, whisk quickly
Scallops
Large sea scallops
Pat dry
Sprinkle salt and pepper
Heat oil and butter on Medium-high heat
Sear one side until brown, turn over to complete the other side (avoid moving and flipping), cook time depends on the size. Mine are huge and took about 5 minutes. As long as you use med-high head and cook both sides until a good brown color should be just right.
** See photo of cut up piece. Not over or under cooked **
It is grill mark, done on very high heat for 2 minutes, turn the steak 45 degree and cook for 2-3 minute, flip over to cook the other side.
Never score or stab the steak unless you want shoe leathe ...

no it's not grill mark, it's cut, did you see this pic?
I scored this steak intentionally to stuff the garlic and let the inside and out soak through with the red wine vinegar and sherry. (Learned it from watching The Cooking Channel). I used roast cut so it's a lower grade which I don't mind to let the garlic and wine flavor to over power a bit. However, with higher grades such as filet, prime, etc, I want as raw as possible so will NEVER score it and use minimum spices.
Like B-jai said, different mouth tastes.
I often experiment and mix things around to find something my hubby really enjoy. Of course I screwed up big time and made the grossest things ever!
secret: my first time cooking when i was 11, I added cheese slices to my stir fried romain lettuce (trying to be creative) and it was the most disgusting food ever! I made my first cheese cake (following instructions from the cream cheese package) when I was 14 and NO one in my family would eat it! ..........><........
Question...when people cook steak, aren't you suppose to keep as much juice inside as possible, so why did you cut a pattern on the steak?
