Cooking steps
1
  • Adjust rack to top position and preheat oven to 425 degrees. Wash and dry produce.

  • Drain any excess liquid from polenta; transfer to a large bowl. Using your hands, crumble until it resembles coarse crumbs.

  • Add flour, Monterey Jack, 2 TBSP water, and ¼ tsp salt (4 TBSP water and ½ tsp salt for 4 servings). Using your hands, mash until flour and cheese are thoroughly incorporated, 30-60 seconds.

  • Set dough aside to rest for 10 minutes.

  • While dough rests, halve, peel, and thinly slice onion. Halve, core, and thinly slice bell pepper into strips.

  • In a small bowl, combine ketchup and half the mayonnaise. Set pink sauce aside until ready to serve.

  • In a small pot, combine rice, 1¼ cups water (2¼ cups for 4 servings), and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce to a low simmer. Cook until rice is tender, 15-18 minutes.

  • Keep covered off heat until ready to serve.

    1 teaspoon (tsp)

3
  • While rice cooks, pat steak* dry with paper towels; season all over with salt and pepper.

  • Heat a drizzle of oil in a large, preferably nonstick, pan over medium-high heat. Add steak and sear until browned, 2-3 minutes per side. (Steak will not be cooked through at this point.)

  • Transfer steak to a baking sheet. Roast on top rack until cooked to desired doneness, 8-12 minutes. Wipe out pan.

  • Once steak is done, transfer to a cutting board and cover with foil to rest.

Ingredient Quantities

  • Shape rested dough into 8-10 logs (16-18 for 4 servings), about 3 inches long (use about 2 TBSP dough for each log)

  • Heat a ⅓-inch layer of oil in pan used for steak over medium-high heat. Once hot enough that a pinch of polenta sizzles when added to the pan, add sorullos in a single layer (for 4, cook in batches). Cook, turning occasionally, until golden brown, 4-5 minutes. (TIP: If browning too quickly, reduce heat to medium.) Turn off heat. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate; season with salt. Wipe out pan.
