Sauteed Skirt Steak With Braised Scallions Recipe Epicuriouscom

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450°F.
• Brush steak with Worcestershire and marinate 15 minutes.
• Sauté steaks:
• Lightly pat steaks dry and season well with salt. Heat 1/2 tablespoon of oil in each of 2 (12-inch) nonstick or heavy skillets over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then sauté steaks in batches, without crowding, 3 minutes on each side for medium-rare. Transfer steaks to a platter and let stand, loosely covered, 5 minutes.

Steps:

• Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 200°F.
• Pat steaks dry and sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Heat oil and 1 tablespoon butter in a 12-inch heavy skillet over moderately high heat until foam subsides, then cook steaks, turning over once, 5 to 7 minutes total for medium-rare. Transfer steaks to a plate and keep warm in oven.
• Discard fat from skillet, then add water and bring to a boil, scraping up brown bits from bottom of skillet. Add scallions and remaining tablespoon butter, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper and cook, tightly covered, over moderate heat until scallions are tender, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer scallions with tongs to a platter and put steaks on top.
• Pour any steak juices accumulated on plate into juices in skillet and boil until slightly thickened. Add lime juice and pour sauce over steaks and scallions.

Steps:

• Aioli:
• Bring stock to a simmer in a small saucepan over medium-low heat; cook until reduced by half, about 5 minutes.
• Whisk egg yolk and mustard in a bowl. Whisking constantly, gradually add oil, drop by drop at first, until mixture is very thick. Whisk in lemon juice and garlic; season with salt and pepper. Stir in stock.
• Salad:
• Preheat oven to 200°F. Prepare grill for medium-high heat (or heat a grill pan over medium-high). Rub steak with cut sides of garlic and 1 tablespoon oil; season with salt and pepper. Grill, turning several times, until lightly charred and mediumrare (an instant-read thermometer should register 130°F), 14-16 minutes. Transfer to a rack set inside a rimmed baking sheet.
• Meanwhile, toss scallions on another baking sheet with 1 tablespoon oil; season with salt and pepper. Grill, turning often, until tender, about 4 minutes. Transfer to rack with beef and keep warm in oven.
• Arrange greens on a platter; season with salt and pepper. Drizzle with lemon juice and 1 tablespoon oil. Toss beets in a bowl with vinegar and remaining 1 tablespoon oil; season with salt and pepper. Arrange over greens. Slice steak 1/2" thick; top greens with scallions and meat. Pour any juices over; season with salt. Serve with aioli.

Steps:

• For steak:
• Purée garlic, lime juice, oil, paprika, cilantro, cumin, salt, and onion powder in a blender until smooth. Transfer marinade to a resealable plastic bag and add steak. Seal bag and turn to coat; chill at least 4 hours.
• DO AHEAD: Steak can be marinated 1 day ahead. Keep chilled.
• For vegetables and assembly:
• Prepare grill for medium-high heat. (Alternatively, heat a grill pan over medium-high heat.) Drizzle cabbage, white onion, and scallions with 4 tablespoons oil; season with salt and pepper. Grill, turning occasionally, until vegetables are charred and softened, about 4 minutes for scallions, 10-12 minutes for cabbage and onion. Let vegetables cool slightly.
• Core cabbage and cut into bite-size pieces along with scallions and onion. Toss chopped vegetables in a large bowl with red onion, lime juice, cilantro, and remaining 2 tablespoons oil; season with salt and pepper.
• Remove steak from marinade, scraping off excess; season with salt and pepper. Grill steak until medium-rare, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest 5-10 minutes before slicing. Serve steak with vegetables, tortillas, and Dried Chile Salsa.
