Categories     Appetizers and Snacks     Wraps and Rolls

Time 4h55m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 ¼ cups seasoned rice vinegar
½ cup water
2 tablespoons white sugar
1 tablespoon fish sauce
¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
2 large carrots, peeled and cut into 3x1/8-inch matchstick strips
½ daikon radish, peeled and cut into 3x1/8-inch matchstick strips

6 (8 1/2-inch) rice paper wrappers
6 large soft-leaf lettuce leaves (such as Bibb or Boston)
3 cups loosely packed fresh cilantro sprigs
¼ cup peanut butter
1 teaspoon Sriracha hot sauce

Steps:

  • Combine vinegar, water, 2 tablespoons sugar, fish sauce, and red pepper flakes in a glass, ceramic, or stainless steel bowl; stir until sugar is dissolved. Add carrots and daikon radish. Put a plate on top to weigh down vegetables and refrigerate for 4 hours or overnight.
  • Combine soy sauce, 1 tablespoon sugar, and garlic in a shallow baking dish; stir until sugar is dissolved. Add steak, pressing down until steak is covered in marinade, and refrigerate for 4 hours or overnight.

STEAK SUMMER ROLLS



Steak Summer Rolls image

The sheer rice wrappers are like windows, revealing the colorful layers of veggies, noodles and steak inside these refreshing rolls. A mandoline or Japanese slicer makes easy work of slicing ingredients paper thin (or use a very sharp knife).

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h10m

Yield 8 summer rolls (2 per person)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/2 cup plain 2% Greek yogurt
1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill
1 small Persian cucumber, grated
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 ounces rice vermicelli
1/2 small red onion, cut into 1/4-inch-thick rounds (keep the rounds intact)
One 10- to 12-ounce boneless strip steak
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Eight 8-inch spring roll rice wrappers
6 red radishes, thinly sliced on a mandoline
1/2 cup fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves, dill leaves or a combination
1 medium carrot, thinly sliced on a mandoline
1 small Persian cucumber, thinly sliced on a mandoline
6 cups baby spinach leaves

Steps:

  • For the dip: Combine the yogurt, dill, cucumber, 1/2 teaspoon salt and several grinds of pepper in a small bowl. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
  • For the summer rolls: Prepare the rice vermicelli according to the package directions. Drain, pat dry and set aside.
  • Preheat an outdoor grill or a grill pan to medium high.
  • Grill the onions until charred, about 3 minutes per side. Separate the onion rounds into individual rings.
  • Sprinkle the steak with salt and pepper. Grill until nicely charred and medium rare, 4 to 5 minutes per side. Let rest for 10 minutes, then trim and slice on the bias and against the grain into 24 long strips.
  • Build the summer rolls: Fill a large bowl with water. Working one at a time, submerge a rice wrapper in the water until pliable. Lay out on a paper towel. Arrange a row of radishes in the center of the wrapper. Put a row of the herbs on one side and a row of alternating carrots and cucumbers on the other. Top all the veggies with a single layer of spinach, then 3 slices of steak, 3 small onion rings and one-eighth of the noodles. Top with another single layer of spinach leaves. Fold in the sides and roll up like a burrito. Cover with a damp paper towel. Repeat with the remaining ingredients. Serve with the dip on the side.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of steak: For grilling, tender cuts like ribeye, strip loin, or tenderloin are best. These cuts have good marbling, which means they'll stay juicy and flavorful during cooking.
  • Marinate the steak: Marinating the steak in a flavorful mixture of herbs, spices, and liquids helps to tenderize and add flavor to the meat. You can use a variety of marinades, but be sure to marinate the steak for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
  • Bring the steak to room temperature before cooking: This helps the steak cook more evenly. Remove the steak from the refrigerator about 30 minutes before you plan to cook it.
  • Preheat your grill: A hot grill is essential for getting a good sear on the steak. Preheat your grill to high heat before adding the steak.
  • Cook the steak over direct heat: This will give the steak a nice char and help to lock in the juices. Cook the steak for 2-3 minutes per side, or until it reaches your desired doneness.
  • Let the steak rest before serving: This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful steak. Let the steak rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Conclusion:

Grilling steak is a great way to enjoy a delicious and flavorful meal. By following these tips, you can cook a perfect steak every time. Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned griller, these tips will help you make the most of your next steak-grilling experience.
