Flank Steak Salad With Chimichurri Dressing Recipes

Steps:

• For the dressing: Add the cilantro, mint, parsley, olive oil, sherry vinegar, zaatar, jalapeno, lime juice and shallot to the the jar of a blender. Puree, scraping the sides as needed, until smooth with just a few small chunks remaining. Set aside or refrigerate for up to 3 days in advance.
• For the steaks: Sprinkle the steaks all over with 1 teaspoon salt and a generous amount of pepper. Set aside.
• Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the steaks and cook, flipping halfway through, until a nice golden crust has formed on both sides and the temperature register 125 degrees F (for medium-rare) on an instant-read thermometer, 7 to 8 minutes total. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest for 3 to 4 minutes.
• Return the skillet to the heat and turn to medium. Add more butter to the skillet if it is dry and add the zaatar. Toast until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in the shallot and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 5 to 6 minutes. Add the peas and saute until tender but still crisp, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer to a plate, leaving any remaining butter in the skillet.
• Meanwhile, mix the arugula and spinach together and place on a platter. Sprinkle with the avocado, radishes, peas and shallots. Slice each steak into thick slices and place atop the salad. Drizzle with the chimichurri dressing and serve immediately with the remaining chimichurri on the side.

Steps:

• Make cuts about 1/2 inch apart and 1/8 inch deep in diamond pattern in both sides of beef. Place beef in shallow glass or plastic dish or resealable food-storage plastic bag.
• To make sauce, in tightly covered container, shake all remaining ingredients. Pour 1 cup of the sauce over beef; turn beef to coat with sauce. To marinate, cover dish or seal bag and refrigerate at least 4 hours but no longer than 24 hours, turning beef occasionally. Cover remaining sauce and set aside to serve with beef.
• Spray grill rack with cooking spray or brush with oil. Heat coals or gas grill for medium heat. (Check the temperature of the coals by placing your hand, palm side down, near but not touching the cooking grill rack. If you can keep your hand there for two seconds (one-thousand one, one-thousand two), the temperature is high; three seconds is medium-high; four seconds is medium; five seconds is low.)
• Remove beef from marinade; set marinade aside. Grill beef uncovered 12 to 16 minutes for medium doneness, brushing with marinade and turning once. Discard any remaining marinade. Cut beef diagonally across grain into thin slices. Serve with remaining sauce.

Steps:

• For Chimichurri sauce: Place first 7 ingredients in a food processor; process until finely minced. With processor on, slowly pour oil and 1 tablespoon of water through food chute; process until well blended.
• For Steak: Prepare grill to medium-high heat.
• Rub steak evenly with salt, pepper, and garlic. Place steak on grill rack coated with cooking spray; cover and grill 6 minutes. Turn steak over; cover and grill 4 minutes or until desired degree of doneness. Remove steak from grill; cover and let stand 5 minutes.
• Cut steak diagonally across the grain into thin slices. Serve with Chimichurri sauce.
• Serving size = 3 ounces steak and 1 tablespoon sauce.

Steps:

• Make the chimichurri sauce: Add all the sauce ingredients to a small food processor. Pulse 4 to 6 times, until the herbs are roughly chopped and chunky. Transfer to a serving bowl.
• Cook the steak: Pat the flank steak dry with a paper towel. Season generously with salt and a pinch of ground pepper. Place in a medium bowl and drizzle with the olive oil and soy sauce. Add the onion to the bowl and give it all a massage until combined.
• Heat a grill to high for at least 5 minutes. If using a charcoal or gas grill, wipe the grill grates with a lightly oiled paper towel right before cooking to clean off any char and debris. This will give you a great grill mark and help keep the beef from sticking. Alternatively, place a grill pan over high heat and preheat for at least 5 minutes. Rub a little oil on the pan or spray with nonstick cooking spray.
• Grill the steak for about 3 minutes, or until well browned on one side. Turn the steak over and add the onion to the grill. Cook for another 2 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 125 degrees F (52 degrees C) for medium-rare, or to your desired doneness (see Cook's Note). You just want the onions slightly charred but still crunchy. Transfer the steak and onions to a cutting board and allow to rest, tented with foil, for 5 minutes. Slice the steak against the grain into 1-inch (2.5-cm) planks. Serve the steak over the onions and drizzle with the chimichurri sauce.

Steps:

• Trim fat from meat. Sprinkle meat with cumin and salt. Brush onion slices on both sides with oil; sprinkle with pepper. For a charcoal or gas grill, place meat and onion slices on the rack of a covered grill directly over medium-hot heat. Grill meat for 10 to 14 minutes for medium-rare to medium doneness (145 degrees F to 160 degrees F) and onion slices about 10 minutes or until tender, turning both meat and onion slices once halfway through grilling time. Let meat stand for 5 minutes. Thinly slice meat. Coarsely chop onion. Place mache in a large salad bowl or arrange on a large platter. Top with meat, onion, and plums. Drizzle with half of the Creamy Chimichurri Dressing. If desired, pass remaining dressing. Creamy Chimichurri Dressing Directions: In a small bowl stir together mayonnaise, yogurt, vinegar, and garlic. Stir in parsley, crushed red pepper, and salt. Serve immediately or cover and refrigerate for up to 1 week. Before serving, if necessary, stir in enough milk to reach desired consistency.
