Spice Rubbed Steak With Carrots And Couscous Recipes

Steps:

• Combine the first 5 ingredients in a small bowl and season with 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Trim any side fat from the steaks and rub the spice mixture all over them. Let stand at room temperature 20 minutes.
• Heat a heavy skillet (preferably cast-iron) over medium-high heat and brush with 1/2 tablespoon of oil. Sear the steaks until beginning to char on the outside and still pink inside, 4-5 minutes per side, depending on thickness. Transfer to a plate and keep warm.
• Reduce the heat to medium and add 1 tablespoon of oil to the skillet. Add the carrots and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring frequently and scraping up any brown bits, until slightly softened, 4-5 minutes.
• Add the broth and bring to a simmer. Stir in the couscous, lemon juice, and lemon peel and season with salt and pepper. Remove from the heat, cover tightly, and let steam until tender, 5-6 minutes.
• To serve, fluff the couscous mixture with a fork and divide in the center of 3 plates. Slice the steaks across the grain into very thin strips and mound on top of the couscous. Drizzle with olive oil and scatter cilantro leaves on top. Serve right away.

Steps:

• Mix together the pumpkin pie spice, 1 teaspoon cumin, 2 teaspoons salt and a few grinds of pepper in a small bowl. Rub the spice mix all over the pork tenderloin.
• Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until very hot. Add the pork tenderloin down the center of the skillet. Cook the pork, flipping occasionally and keeping it in the center of the skillet, until browned on all sides, about 5 minutes.
• While the pork cooks, toss together the ginger, carrots, lemons, remaining 1/2 teaspoon cumin and 1 teaspoon salt in a small bowl. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil to one side of the pork tenderloin in the skillet and then add the carrot mixture, spreading it out in an even layer. (Leave the other side of the pork empty.) Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet and cook until the carrots are bright orange and just start to become tender, about 8 minutes.
• Meanwhile, mix together the couscous, apricots and 1 1/2 teaspoons salt in a medium bowl. Add the couscous mixture and 1 1/2 cups water to the empty side of the skillet. Pile the spinach on top of the carrots, cover the skillet and cook until the couscous is fluffy and tender and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the pork has reached about 150 degrees F, about 10 minutes. Remove the pork to a cutting board and slice. Serve with the carrots and couscous.

Steps:

• Zest the lemon and combine zest in a bowl with 1 teaspoon salt, the pepper, garlic and coriander, and rub with your fingers to make an even paste. Stir 1 teaspoon mixture into yogurt, and set aside. Pour 3 tablespoons olive oil over the remaining mixture. Rub on both sides of the steak; place the steak in a bowl or a large resealable bag and set aside for 30 minutes, or refrigerate up to overnight.
• Meanwhile, make the salad: Juice the lemon into a large bowl, and whisk together with the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Shave the carrots into the bowl with a vegetable peeler or a mandoline, making long, thin shavings (like ribbons). Toss together with the dressing and walnuts and set aside while you grill the steak.
• Light the grill or heat the broiler. Remove the steak from the marinade and brush off any excess. (A dry steak yields a better, crisper sear.) Grill the meat over direct heat until char lines appear and meat is done to taste, 5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or broil until charred, 3 to 5 minutes per side.
• Let the meat rest for 5 minutes before slicing against the grain. Toss the dill with the carrot salad. Spread a thin layer or a dollop of lemon-garlic yogurt on each plate, and top with the steak and salad.

Steps:

• Preheat broiler. Mix first 5 ingredients; rub over steak. Place on a broiler pan., Broil 2-3 in. from heat until meat reaches desired doneness (for medium-rare, a thermometer should read 135°), 6-8 minutes per side. Let stand 5 minutes., Meanwhile, cook couscous according to package directions. Stir in red pepper. Slice steak thinly across the grain; drizzle with dressing. Serve with couscous.

Steps:

• Season both sides of the flank steak generously with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne. Massage the spices into the steak well.
• In an oiled skillet, cook steak for 2-3 minutes on both sides (depending on desired doneness), flipping once.
• Remove steak from skillet and allow to rest on a cutting board for 10 minutes. Allowing the steak to rest before cutting it allows the juices to resettle.
• While the steak rests, combine the mustard, honey, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Whisk to combine. Set aside.
• Cut the steak against the grain.
• Assemble the salad with mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, avocados, shredded carrots, and red onion. Top with cut steak.
• Serve with dressing.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°F. Combine salt, pepper, coriander, cumin, and paprika in a small bowl. Rub carrots with spice mixture, reserving 3/4 tsp. in bowl.
• Heat oil in a large ovenproof heavy skillet (preferably cast-iron) over medium-high until shimmering. Add carrots cut side down and sear until crisp and browned, 5-6 minutes. Flip carrots and transfer to oven. Roast carrots until tender when pierced with a knife and nicely browned on the outside, 20-25 minutes. Transfer skillet back to stovetop over medium heat. Add butter and reserved spice mixture, and once melted, use a spoon to baste carrots with spiced butter for about 3 minutes.
• Transfer carrots to a serving platter or divide among plates. Drizzle with remaining spiced butter from skillet and squeeze lemon over. Sprinkle with parsley and sea salt.
