Hoisin Skirt Steak With Cauliflower Recipes

Steps:

• Whisk hoisin sauce, vinegar, soy sauce, hot sauce, sesame oil, grated ginger, garlic, brown sugar, salt, and pepper together in a large mixing bowl.
• Cut skirt steak crosswise into about 4 or 5 smaller pieces. Transfer steak into marinade and toss until all pieces are evenly coated. Cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate; marinate at least 2 hours and up to 12 hours.
• Line a baking pan with paper towels. Transfer pieces of steak to the paper towels and mop off some of the marinade.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Transfer steak pieces to grill. Cook to medium rare or medium, 4 to 5 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read between 130 and 135 degrees F (about 54 degrees C). Thinner pieces might finish earlier. Transfer steak to a warm plate. Let rest for a few minutes.
• Transfer steak to a warm serving platter and pour any accumulated juices over skirt steak. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and sliced green onions.

Steps:

• Position an oven rack in the center of the oven, put a baking sheet on it and preheat to 450 degrees F. Cut the cauliflower through the core into 1-inch-thick steaks. It's fine if some of the end steaks break into florets; just cook them along with the rest.
• Put 2 tablespoons of the butter on the hot baking sheet, return the sheet to the oven and let the butter melt and bubble, about 30 seconds. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and tilt to coat it with butter. Arrange the cauliflower steaks and any stray florets on the baking sheet. Roast until the bottom of the cauliflower is dark brown and almost tender (a knife inserted in the steaks should meet a little resistance), about 12 minutes. Generously sprinkle the cauliflower with salt, flip with a spatula, sprinkle with salt and continue to roast until the cauliflower is tender, about 10 minutes more.
• While the cauliflower roasts, mash the remaining 4 tablespoons butter with a fork in a small bowl. Mash in the parsley, capers, caper brine, lemon zest, 1/4 teaspoon salt and one grind of pepper. When the steaks are done, transfer them to a serving platter or individual plates. Dollop some compound butter on top of each steak and scatter any stray florets around them. Serve hot.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Combine the cauliflower rice, 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a large bowl; toss to coat. Spread in a single layer on 2 baking sheets and bake, stirring once, until slightly browned and tender, 20 to 25 minutes.
• Meanwhile, season the steaks with salt and pepper and rub all over with the paprika and cinnamon. Heat a large skillet over high heat; add 1 tablespoon olive oil. Add the steaks, in batches if necessary, and cook until browned, 1 1/2 to 2 minutes per side for medium rare. Remove to plates.
• Reduce the heat to medium. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil, the celery, almonds, dried cranberries and garlic to the skillet and cook, stirring, until golden, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the vinegar and cook until the skillet is almost dry. Transfer the mixture to a large bowl. Add the cauliflower and parsley, season with salt and pepper and toss. Add to the plates with the steaks.
