Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/4 pounds shoulder center steak (ranch steak) or top sirloin steak, boneless
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup fresh lime juice
1/4 cup rice vinegar
2 tablespoons sugar
1 large jícama (about 1 1/2 pounds), peeled
2 green apples (about 1 pound), cored
1/2 cup fresh cilantro leaves, plus more for garnish
2 teaspoons finely grated lime zest
1 medium jalapeño pepper, seeded and diced (about 2 teaspoons)
3 tablespoons chopped roasted peanuts

Steps:

  • Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Season the steak with the salt and pepper and grill until medium-rare, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Let the meat rest for 5 minutes, then cut across the grain into 1/4-inch-thick slices.
  • In a small bowl, combine the lime juice, vinegar, and sugar and whisk until the sugar is partially dissolved. Using the shredder attachment of a food processor, shred the jícama and apples; transfer to a bowl. Add the cilantro, lime zest, jalapeño, and dressing, and toss to combine.
  • To serve, mound 1 1/2 cups of the salad into each serving bowl and top with about 7 slices of beef. Garnish each bowl with additional cilantro leaves and about 2 teaspoons of toasted peanuts. Serve immediately.

JICAMA - APPLE SALAD



Jicama - Apple Salad image

This recipe has such a nice crisp texture. Not overly sweet, would make a nice change of pace for coleslaw. I came up with this just experimenting. I think chopped walnuts would also be good in this.

Categories     Apple

Time 15m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 small jicama, peeled and julienne-cut
1 tart apple, cored and julienne-cut
1/2 red bell pepper, julienne-cut
2 green onions, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 tablespoons lime juice
1 teaspoon light brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons chopped peanuts

Steps:

  • In a small bowl, whisk together vegetable oil, lime juice, brown sugar, red pepper flakes, and salt.
  • Pour dressing over salad and toss to combine.
  • Sprinkle with chopped peanuts and serve.

Tips:

  • Choose the right jicama: Look for jicama that is firm and has a smooth, unblemished skin. Avoid jicama that is soft or has any bruises or cuts.
  • Peel and cut the jicama properly: To peel jicama, use a sharp knife to remove the thin, brown skin. Then, cut the jicama into matchsticks or thin slices.
  • Use a variety of apples: For a more complex flavor, use a combination of different types of apples, such as Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Fuji.
  • Add some crunch: To add some extra crunch to the salad, add some chopped nuts, such as almonds, walnuts, or pecans.
  • Make a flavorful dressing: The dressing is what really brings the salad together. Be sure to use a dressing that is flavorful and complements the other ingredients in the salad.
  • Serve the salad chilled: For the best flavor, serve the salad chilled.

Conclusion:

Jicama-apple salad is a refreshing and healthy salad that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own personal preferences. So next time you are looking for a healthy and delicious salad, give jicama-apple salad a try.
