GRILLED SKIRT-STEAK SALAD



Grilled Skirt-Steak Salad image

Some dishes are so adjustable, they're more a concept than a recipe. Exhibit A: this grilled-steak salad. The trick is to drizzle on a little vinaigrette when the meat comes off the heat, to give it a savory brightness. Lay the sliced steak and grilled vegetables on top of crunchy romaine and anything else that beckons at the farm stand, then top it all off with briny feta and more vinaigrette.

Provided by Shira Bocar

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Meat & Poultry     Beef Recipes

Time 1h5m

Yield Serves 4 to 6

Number Of Ingredients 11

12 ounces skirt steak, cut into 4 even pieces
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
2 ears corn, shucked
1 large red onion, cut into 1/3-inch-thick rounds
Extra-virgin olive oil, for brushing
Vegetable oil, for grill
Basic Vinaigrette
1 head romaine, chopped
1 orange or yellow bell pepper, stem removed, seeded and chopped
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
3 ounces feta, crumbled (2/3 cup)

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.

GRILLED STEAK SALAD WITH CHILE AND BROWN SUGAR



Grilled Steak Salad With Chile and Brown Sugar image

In this summery beef salad, pieces of grilled, marinated flank steak and charred red onions are tossed with a mound of spicy greens, avocado and a tangy lime-spiked dressing. Keep the flank steak on the rare side - this lean cut is best when still very juicy - then slice it thinly against the grain for the most tender meat.

Provided by Melissa Clark

Categories     dinner, lunch, salads and dressings, main course

Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 garlic cloves, finely grated or minced
1 tablespoon dark brown sugar
1 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more as needed
1 teaspoon ancho chile powder
1 teaspoon dried oregano, crumbled between fingers
1/4 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1 1/2 pounds flank steak
1 large red onion, sliced into 1/2-inch-thick rounds
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 avocado, peeled, seeded and diced
5 ounces spicy greens, such as arugula, watercress, baby kale, tatsoi or a mix of greens (about 5 cups)
4 radishes, thinly sliced
1 scallion, thinly sliced

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, whisk together half of the grated garlic (reserve the other half for the dressing), sugar, salt, chile powder, oregano, sesame oil and cumin. Add steak and thoroughly coat it with marinade; marinate for at least 1 hour and up to overnight.
  • Heat the grill to medium-high, or heat the broiler. Grill or broil steak and onion slices, about 2 to 4 minutes per side for medium-rare. If onions aren't charred, give them another minute or two while the steak rests.
  • Transfer steak to a plate and let it rest for 5 minutes, then slice thinly against the grain (save the juices). Chop onions into bite-sized pieces.
  • Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, whisk together lime juice, remaining garlic, a large pinch of salt, and oil. Drizzle a little of the juice from the rested steak into dressing.
  • Sprinkle avocado with salt. In a large bowl, toss spicy greens, radishes and scallions with just enough dressing to coat it. Gently mix in avocado. Transfer to serving plates and top with the steak and onions.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, choose a well-marbled steak. If you're not sure which cut to choose, ask your butcher for recommendations.
  • Make sure the steak is at room temperature before cooking. This will help it cook evenly.
  • Season the steak generously with salt and pepper. You can also add other spices or herbs, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.
  • Grill the steak over medium-high heat for 6-8 minutes per side, or until it reaches your desired doneness.
  • Let the steak rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the meat.
  • Serve the steak with your favorite sides, such as grilled onions, roasted vegetables, or mashed potatoes.
