MamaM, you know me I'll take all you have to share! I am going to use all of these and try to find the perfect one to suit my taste. I love this sauce on crab cakes! And also on steak as well. I am trying to find a sauce that I had on a steak one time at Tony Caraba's it was a roasted red pepper type sauce that was simply devine! I wish I knew that recipe!

Thanks, CCCathy

Seared Sea Scallops with Roasted Red Pepper Coulis and Cucumber ?Spaghetti?

1 pound large sea scallops- (8-10 count per pound)
Good quality Extra Virgin Olive Oil
3 Tbsp flour (for dusting scallops)
Sea Salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 English cucumbers- peeled and thinly julienne slice with a mandoline to resemble spaghetti
1 Tbsp finely chopped chives
1 Tbsp finely chopped parsley
2 large red bell peppers-roasted, seeded, peeled and chopped or one 12 oz. jar of roasted red peppers chopped
3 Tbsp sun dried tomato puree
¼ cup chicken stock
1 shallot finely chopped
2 garlic cloves finely chopped

1. Peel cucumber and thinly slice it using a mandoline with the small julienne attachment. Toss with sea salt and pepper and set in colander to drain a bit.
2. Heat a small sauté pan with a tsp of olive oil. Sautee the shallot and garlic for 3 minutes on low-med heat. Add the chopped roasted red peppers, sun dried tomato puree and stock. Simmer for 5 minutes reducing the liquid by 1/3. Puree in a food processor and set aside until the scallops are ready to plate.
3. In a large sauté pan- heat 1 Tbsp of olive oil on med to high heat. Once pan is very hot add the cucumber spaghetti that has been draining. Sautee for 3-5 minutes on high heat until most of the liquid is evaporated. Remove from heat and toss in the chives and parsley.
4. In medium to large sauté pan- heat the pan on medium heat until it is hot. Add enough olive oil to coat the pan. Dry the scallops with a paper towel. Season them with salt and pepper and dust them in the flour. Shake off the excess flour- you are not coating the scallops just ensuring that they are completely dry. Place the scallops in the hot pan and let cook for 2 minutes before turning them over to cook for 2 more minutes on the other side.
5. To plate: Place a bed of the cucumber ?spaghetti in the center of the plate. Place three small dollops of the red pepper sauce around the ?spaghetti? and place one scallop on each of the red pepper dollops.



NEW YORK STRIP STEAK WITH ANCHO CHILI AND CHOCOLATE SAUCE

4 New York Strip Steaks, or Filet Mignons
Salt, pepper, olive oil
4 slices firm white bread, crusts trimmed
3 tablespoons cooking oil
3 tablespoons butter


for the sauce:
2 ancho chili peppers (dried)
1 cup water

1 tablespoon oil
1 tablespoon butter
2 shallots, chopped
2 slices smoked bacon, chopped
1 clove garlic, chopped
1 tablespoon cocoa powder
½ cup Ruby or Tawny Port wine
1 cup veal stock
2 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped
2 tablespoons butter
salt and pepper
1 tablespoon Sherry vinegar

To make the sauce:
In a small saucepan, bring the water to the boil and add the dried peppers. Allow to sit until the peppers are very soft, about 20 minutes. Puree them in a blender, or with an immersion blender, and reserve.
Heat the oil and butter in a saucepan. Add the shallots and bacon and cook, stirring, until the shallots begin to brown. Stir in the garlic, then the cocoa powder. Pour over the Port wine and cook until the liquid has reduced by half. Add the veal stock and reduce the liquid again by half. Add the chocolate and stir until melted and smooth. Stir in about 1/3 of the ancho pepper puree and taste. If desired, add more puree to make the sauce more spicy. Stir in the butter and vinegar and season with salt and ground black pepper to taste.
Note: If you like spicy-hot food, feel free to use a hotter dried pepper, such as chipotle, or add a dash of bottled hot sauce to taste.


To finish:
Heat two tablespoons of butter and two tablespoons of oil in a large frying pan. Cut the white bread into rounds and fry them on each side until golden. Remove.

Brush the filet mignons with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.

Heat the remaining butter and oil. When it is very hot, add the steaks and cook until well-browned, about 2-3 minutes on each side for medium rare for the strip steaks, or 4 minutes per side for filet mignons.

Alternatively, brown the brown in the frying pan for about two minutes on each side up to one day ahead. Refrigerate them, then bring them to room temperature before dinner. To finish cooking them, place them under the broiler for 3-4 minutes before serving.

Place a bread crouton on each plate and top with a steak. Spoon over some of the pepper sauce. Very good with roasted sweet potatoes.

Roasted Red Pepper Sauce
This sauce is perfect over seafood, grilled or roasted chicken and turkey, broiled flank steak, and roasted vegetables; it's also amazing with pasta. Try substituting an equal amount of oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes for the roasted red peppers.

1 cup roasted red peppers (from water-packed jar)
1 cup reduced-sodium vegetable or chicken broth
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/4 cup fresh basil leaves
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

In a blender, combine the red peppers, broth, vinegar, and oil and process until smooth. Transfer mixture to a small saucepan and set over medium heat. Bring to a simmer, partially cover, and simmer for 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the basil. Season, to taste, with salt and pepper. Let come to room temperature and store in a plastic container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week or in the freezer up to 3 months.

Everything-Crusted Tuna With Roasted Red Pepper Sauce

3 tablespoons dry minced garlic
3 tablespoons dry minced onion
3 tablespoons poppy seeds
3 tablespoons black sesame seeds
3 tablespoons white sesame seeds
2 teaspoons coarse salt
1 egg white, lightly beaten
4 sushi-quality center-cut tuna steaks, 3 inches by 11/2 inches by 1 inch thick
3 tablespoons olive oil
3 cloves garlic, peeled and thinly sliced
1 large shallot, peeled and thinly sliced
3 medium-size roasted red peppers, peeled and coarsely chopped
1/2 cup unsalted or low-sodium chicken stock
1/4 cup white wine
Salt and freshly ground white pepper
3 tablespoons Champagne vinegar -- (3 to 4)
1/3 cup grape-seed oil
1 1/2 cups canola or other vegetable oil

To make the crust, mix together the minced garlic, onion, poppy seeds, sesame seeds and salt. Sprinkle some of this mixture on a plate. Dip the tuna steaks in the beaten egg white just enough to coat, then roll each steak in the crust mixture to coat it thoroughly, adding more of the mixture if necessary. To minimize the potential mess, coat the tuna steaks by holding them with a fork rather than your fingers. Put steaks on the same plate, atop the remaining mixture; set aside at room temperature.
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees.
To make the sauce, warm the olive oil in a large sauté pan over medium heat, and add the garlic and shallots. Cook, stirring, until they are soft but not colored, about 5 minutes. Add the peppers, chicken stock and wine, season with salt and white pepper, and simmer until the liquid is reduced by half, about 8 minutes. Carefully transfer the mixture to a blender, add the vinegar and with the machine running, pour in the grape-seed oil. Blend just to emulsify. Adjust the seasonings, adding water if sauce is too thick, and set aside in a warm place.
Have a metal baking pan at the ready; you will need it quickly after frying the steaks. Pour the canola oil into a 12-inch sauté pan or a wok, and set over high heat; when the oil reaches 350 degrees, slip the tuna into the pan. Fry for 1-1/2 minutes on each side, until the crust is well browned. Lift out the steaks with a slotted spatula, and place in the baking pan. Transfer to the oven, and roast for 1 minute for rare, 2 minutes for medium-rare, 3 minutes for medium.
Remove from the oven; spoon some sauce on each of four warmed dinner plates. Cut each steak in half on the diagonal, and place the two pieces in the center of the plates. Drizzle the steaks with additional sauce.
Yield: Four servings.

To get the most out of this dish, make sure you're using premium-quality tuna (not that foul Chicken of the Sea stuff) and cook it only just enough. Ask your fishmonger for tuna steaks that are each cut like a brick. One inch thick is ideal. The tuna will look like beef. And like beef, you'll want to keep it rare.
The sauce is a blend of roasted red peppers, garlic and shallots. Gently sautéed, the garlic and shallots are a sweeter version of the garlic and onions in the crust. I roast the red bell peppers over a gas flame or under the broiler until they're black and blistered, then I rub off the skins. Their slightly charred flavor makes the sauce lusty enough to play opposite the assertive crust. I'd also suggest serving it with some saffron rice or some couscous.
