Categories     main-dish

Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 teaspoon chipotle chile powder
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 1/4 to 1 1/2 pounds beef tri-tip steak, fat trimmed
1 small onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
1 pound frozen chopped collard greens, thawed and drained
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
1/4 cup ketchup
2 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon dijon mustard

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Mix the chile powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper; rub on the steak. Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon vegetable oil, then add the steak; sear 3 minutes per side. Transfer the skillet to the oven and cook until a meat thermometer inserted sideways into the steak registers 135 degrees F for medium rare, 15 to 20 minutes. Transfer the steak to a cutting board.
  • Meanwhile, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons vegetable oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook, stirring, until soft, 5 minutes. Add the collard greens and 1/2 cup water and cook, stirring occasionally, until warmed through, 10 minutes. Add 1 tablespoon vinegar, and salt and pepper to taste.
  • Whisk the ketchup, the remaining 3 tablespoons vinegar, the honey, Worcestershire sauce, mustard and 1/2 cup water in a bowl. Return the cast-iron skillet to medium-high heat; add the ketchup mixture and cook until thickened, 3 to 5 minutes. Slice the steak against the grain. Serve with the sauce and collard greens.

Tips:

  • For a smoky flavor, toast the guajillo chiles in a dry skillet over medium heat until fragrant, about 2 minutes per side. Remove the stems and seeds, then tear the chiles into small pieces.
  • If you don't have any guajillo chiles, you can use another type of dried chile, such as ancho or pasilla. Just be sure to adjust the amount of chile you use to taste.
  • To make the collard greens more tender, you can massage them with salt before cooking. Simply sprinkle the collard greens with salt and rub them with your hands for a few minutes. Then, rinse the collard greens well before cooking.
  • If you want a thicker sauce, you can add a cornstarch slurry to the collard greens. To make a cornstarch slurry, mix together equal parts cornstarch and water until smooth. Then, add the slurry to the collard greens and stir until the sauce has thickened.
  • Serve the collard greens with your favorite sides, such as rice, beans, or cornbread.

Conclusion:
