Skirt Steak With Lentil Salad Recipes

Steps:

• To make the lentil salad, put the water in a large saucepan. Wash the lentils in a colander and add to the saucepan. Add the carrots, bay leaf, thyme and salt. Cover and simmer 20 to 25 minutes. Do not overcook. Drain and remove the bay leaf and thyme sprigs.
• In a large mixing bowl combine the mustard, 3/4 cup of oil and the vinegar, onions, tarragon, salt and pepper. Blend well with a wire whisk. Add the lentils and stir. Serve warm, lukewarm or cool.
• To prepare the meat, sprinkle it on both sides with salt and pepper and brush with 1 tablespoon of oil.
• Heat a cast-iron skillet large enough to hold two steaks over high heat, add the steaks and brown them for 3 minutes for medium-rare. Turn and continue cooking until they are thoroughly browned, about 3 minutes more. Remove to a warm platter. Repeat the procedure for the two remaining steaks.
• Pour the fat from the skillet and reduce the heat. Add the butter, garlic and parsley. Cook briefly, stirring. Add any juices from the platter and blend well. Pour the sauce over the steaks and serve with the lentil salad immediately.

Steps:

• Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the bread cubes and cook until crisp and slightly golden, turning as needed, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper and cook, tossing, until the garlic is slightly golden, about 30 seconds. Transfer to a large bowl; wipe out the skillet. Add the radishes, tomatoes, basil, capers and caper brine to the bowl and toss to combine.
• Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in the same skillet over medium-high heat. Season the steak with salt and pepper, add to the pan and sear until browned on the bottom, about 5 minutes. Turn and sear until browned on the other side, 3 to 5 more minutes. Transfer the steak to a cutting board and let rest 5 minutes.
• Add the arugula and the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil to the bowl with the salad and toss to coat; season with salt and pepper. Thinly slice the steak against the grain and divide among plates. Serve with the salad.

Steps:

• If necessary, cut the steak crosswise into large pieces that will fit into a shallow, nonreactive dish. Transfer the steaks to the dish. In a glass measuring cup or bowl, whisk together the olive oil, vinegar, scallions, capers, garlic, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Pour about 1/3 of the dressing (about 1/3 cup) over the steak and turn to coat both sides.
• Add the parsley and 1 tablespoon mint to the reserved dressing, stir, and set aside until ready to use. Cover and refrigerate the steak for at least 30 minutes or up to 24 hours. (If marinating the steak overnight, cover and refrigerate the reserved dressing.)
• In a small sauté pan set over medium heat, toast the pine nuts, tossing often, until golden brown, about 3 minutes. Set aside.
• Set the grill to medium-high heat, or heat a grill pan on the stovetop over medium-high. Pat the steaks dry with a paper towel and grill for 3 to 5 minutes on each side for medium-rare. Transfer to a plate, sprinkle with salt, and allow to rest for 10 minutes.
• While the steak rests, cut the romaine hearts lengthwise into quarters. Arrange the romaine hearts in one layer on a large platter, leaving room on one side for the steak. Sprinkle the feta, pine nuts and the remaining 1 tablespoon mint over the romaine. Slice the steak crosswise into 3-inch pieces, then slice against the grain to cut the steak into wide strips. Arrange the sliced steak on the platter, then drizzle the reserved dressing over the romaine and steak. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Whisk together the horseradish, yogurt and honey. Season and add lemon juice to taste.
• Season the steak on all sides with a little salt and black pepper. Heat 1 tbsp oil in a non-stick frying pan. Add the steak and cook to your liking, 2-3 mins on each side for medium rare. Set aside to rest.
• Put the pan back on the heat, add the remaining oil, lightly crush in the garlic, then tip in the peas, lentils, beans and beetroot. Cook for a few mins, stirring, until the peas and beetroot are warmed through. Remove from the heat, then stir through the remaining lemon juice, dill and rocket.
• Thinly slice the steak. Divide the lentil salad between two plates, nestle in the steak and drizzle over the dressing.

Steps:

• Heat charcoal, preferably natural chunk, until grey ash appears.
• In a blender, put in oil, soy sauce, scallions, garlic, lime juice, red pepper, cumin, and sugar and puree.
• In a large heavy duty, zip top bag, put pieces of skirt steak and pour in marinade.
• Seal bag, removing as much air as possible.
• Allow steak to marinate for 1 hour in refrigerator.
• Remove steak from bag and pat dry with paper towels.
• Using a blow dryer, blow charcoal clean of ash.
• Once clean of ash lay steaks directly onto hot coals for 1 minute per side.
• When finished cooking, place meat in double thickness of aluminum foil, wrap, and allow to sit for 15 minutes.
• Remove meat from foil, reserving foil and juices.
• Slice thinly across the grain of the meat.
• Return to foil pouch and toss with juice.
• Serve with grilled peppers and onions, if desired.

Steps:

• Heat a grill to medium-high. Season steak with salt and pepper. Brush corn and onion with olive oil; season with salt and pepper. Lightly brush grates with vegetable oil.
• Grill corn, turning occasionally, until lightly charred, 10 to 12 minutes. Grill onion until lightly charred and tender, 6 to 8 minutes a side. Transfer vegetables to a cutting board. When cool enough to handle, cut kernels from cobs and coarsely chop onion.
• Meanwhile, grill steak until a thermometer inserted into thickest part registers 125°F for medium-rare, about 3 minutes a side. Transfer to a plate; drizzle with 2 tablespoons vinaigrette. Let stand 10 minutes, then slice against the grain.
• In a large salad bowl or platter, layer romaine, bell pepper, tomatoes, corn, and onion. Season to taste; drizzle with half of remaining vinaigrette. Top with steak and feta. Serve with remaining dressing on the side.

Steps:

• In a shallow baking dish, season steak with kosher salt and fresh cracked pepper and toss in olive oil and vinegar to coat; set aside at room temperature.
• Meanwhile, heat a salted pot of water to boiling over high heat, add orzo and cook until al dente, 3 - 4 minutes; drain and set in fridge to cool 15 minutes.
• Heat grill over medium high heat and grill steaks 2 - 3 minutes per side for medium rare; remove from heat and allow steaks to rest.
• Remove chilled orzo from fridge and add remaining ingredients along with 1/2 cup of extra virgin olive oil. Toss well to combine and plate.
• Slice steak thin and on the bias and plate next to orzo salad. Serve immediately.
