Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 18

150g fat-free natural yogurt
thumb-sized piece ginger , finely grated
2 large garlic cloves , finely grated
1 tsp garam masala
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp ground coriander
½ tsp turmeric
½ tsp hot chilli powder
2 tbsp tomato purée
½ lemon , juiced
1 large cauliflower
1 red chilli , deseeded and chopped, to serve
25g coriander
25g mint
30g unsalted peanuts
1 green chilli , deseeded and chopped
1 lemon , zested and juiced
2 tbsp rapeseed oil

Steps:

  • Mix the yogurt, ginger, garlic, spices, tomato purée and lemon juice in a bowl. Pull the outer leaves off the cauliflower, trim off the very bottom of the stalk, then cut into 8-12 wedges, 3-4cm thick. Blanch in a pan of simmering water for 3 mins. Drain, then leave to dry before tipping into a large bowl. Mix with the marinade, cover and leave in the fridge overnight.
  • Make the chutney by blitzing all the ingredients in a blender or food processor until smooth. Loosen with 2-3 tbsp water if it seems too thick.
  • Put the cauliflower directly on the barbecue grill. Cook for 7-10 mins on each side or until nicely charred and you can pierce the stalk easily. Alternatively, cook in a griddle pan, turning, over a high heat for the same amount of time. Drizzle with the chutney and scatter over the chopped red chilli.

TANDOORI STYLE STEAK



Tandoori Style Steak image

A tandoor is a type of oven found in India that is sort of a cross between an oven and a grill. It cooks, usually, over high heat, like 500 degrees F. If you do not have a tandoor, you can use either the broiler of your oven or a grill. Bear in mind that this is called tandoori "style" because beef is not eaten in India because the cow is sacred.

Time 30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 tablespoons mustard seeds
2 tablespoons fennel seeds
2 tablespoons cracked black pepper
1 tablespoon grains of paradise (see note)
1 1/2 tablespoons coarse sea salt
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 lbs New York strip steaks (about 1 1/4 inches thick)
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • Heat a dry cast iron skillet over medium heat; add mustard seeds, fennel seeds, peppercorns, grains of paradise (of the substitute noted below), and cook, stirring with a wooden spoon, until fragrant and lightly toasted, about 1 to 3 minutes; transfer to a bowl to cool.
  • Grind cooled spices, in a spice grinder or use a mortar and pestle, to a coarse powder; add the salt, pepper flakes, and cayenne.
  • Cut steak into pieces that are bout 1 1/2 inches wide and 3 1/2 inches long; brush with olive oil and generously season with the spice rub.
  • Thread steaks onto skewers, through the narrow end, about 3 pieces per skewer.
  • Heat the tandoor to 500 degrees F (grill or broiler to high); cook kebabs until browned, about 5 minutes for medium rare (for grill or broiler, about 3 to 4 minutes per side).
  • NOTE: Grains of paradise look like small peppercorns, but taste like a combination of black pepper and allspice. The are sold at specialty markets, like thespicehouse.com. You can substitute 1 tablespoon cracked black pepper and 2 allspice berries (or 1/4 teaspoon ground allspice) to approximate the flavor.

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Meat & Poultry     Beef Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 pound flank steak, trimmed of fat
2 tablespoons tamari
1/4 cup honey
1 tablespoon tandoori spice
1 tablespoon red curry paste

Steps:

  • Place the steak in a shallow baking dish. In a small bowl, mix the tamari, honey, tandoori spice, and curry paste. Brush the mixture on the steak and let sit at room temperature for 45 minutes or overnight in the refrigerator. Turn once or twice.
  • Prepare a stove-top griddle or outdoor grill. Grill the steak 5 to 7 minutes per side.
  • Transfer to a cutting board to rest for five minutes. Cut the steak into 1/4-inch slices and divide among 4 dinner plates.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of steak: A thick, well-marbled steak like ribeye or strip loin is best for tandoori steak. The marbling will help keep the steak moist and flavorful during cooking.
  • Make sure your marinade is flavorful: The marinade is what gives tandoori steak its characteristic flavor. Use a combination of yogurt, spices, and herbs to create a marinade that is both flavorful and tenderizing.
  • Cook the steak over high heat: Tandoori steak is traditionally cooked in a tandoor oven, which is a cylindrical clay oven that reaches very high temperatures. If you don't have a tandoor oven, you can cook the steak in a hot oven or on a grill.
  • Let the steak rest before serving: Once the steak is cooked, let it rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the steak, making it more tender and flavorful.

Conclusion:

Tandoori steak is a delicious and flavorful dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be cooked in a variety of ways. Whether you are cooking it in a tandoor oven, in a hot oven, or on a grill, be sure to follow these tips to ensure that your tandoori steak turns out perfectly.
