Skirt Steak With Warm Bean Salad Recipes

Steps:

• In a large skillet, heat 1 teaspoon oil over medium-high. Season steak with salt and pepper. Cook steak (in batches if necessary) until browned, 3 to 5 minutes per side for medium-rare. Transfer steaks to a cutting board and let rest.
• Rinse out skillet and return to heat, along with 2 teaspoons oil. Add green beans and cook 2 minutes. Add garlic and tomatoes and cook, stirring occasionally, until tomatoes begin to burst, 3 minutes. Add cannellini beans and vinegar and cook, stirring, until beans are heated through, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat; season to taste with salt and pepper and sprinkle with basil.
• Thinly slice steak against the grain and divide among 4 plates. Serve with bean salad.

Steps:

• Steaks: Brush the steaks with olive oil; sprinkle liberally with salt and pepper, to taste. Heat a heavy saute pan over medium-high heat. Add the steaks and cook for about 4 minutes per side for medium-rare. Remove the steaks to a cutting board and let rest for 10 minutes. Slice crosswise into thin strips. Set aside.
• Bean salad: In a large bowl, combine the beans, olive oil, lime juice, garlic, scallions, cilantro, and oregano. Mix gently. Season with salt and black pepper, to taste.
• Put the bean salad on a platter and arrange the warm steak slices on top.

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.
