Garlicky Steak With Carrot Walnut And Dill Salad Food

GARLICKY STEAK WITH CARROT, WALNUT AND DILL SALAD

Steps:

• Zest the lemon and combine zest in a bowl with 1 teaspoon salt, the pepper, garlic and coriander, and rub with your fingers to make an even paste. Stir 1 teaspoon mixture into yogurt, and set aside. Pour 3 tablespoons olive oil over the remaining mixture. Rub on both sides of the steak; place the steak in a bowl or a large resealable bag and set aside for 30 minutes, or refrigerate up to overnight.
• Meanwhile, make the salad: Juice the lemon into a large bowl, and whisk together with the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Shave the carrots into the bowl with a vegetable peeler or a mandoline, making long, thin shavings (like ribbons). Toss together with the dressing and walnuts and set aside while you grill the steak.
• Light the grill or heat the broiler. Remove the steak from the marinade and brush off any excess. (A dry steak yields a better, crisper sear.) Grill the meat over direct heat until char lines appear and meat is done to taste, 5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or broil until charred, 3 to 5 minutes per side.
• Let the meat rest for 5 minutes before slicing against the grain. Toss the dill with the carrot salad. Spread a thin layer or a dollop of lemon-garlic yogurt on each plate, and top with the steak and salad.

GARLIC STEAK WITH GARLIC

Steps:

• Whisk minced garlic, olive oil, salt, and black pepper in a bowl, then pour into a resealable plastic bag. Add the steaks, coat with the marinade, squeeze out excess air, and seal the bag. Marinate in the refrigerator for 8 hours or overnight.
• Combine 12 garlic cloves and 1 cup olive oil in a small saucepan over low heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until garlic is golden and tender, about 30 minutes. Set aside.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat, and lightly oil the grate. Remove steaks from bag, wiping off excess marinade with paper towels. Generously season steaks with salt and black pepper.
• Cook the steaks on the prepared grill until they start to firm and are reddish-pink and juicy in the center, about 5 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 130 degrees F (54 degrees C). Remove steaks to a plate and let rest for 5 minutes.
• Drizzle balsamic vinegar over steaks, then spoon a few cloves of oil-roasted garlic on top.

GARLICKY GREEN SALAD

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Slice 1/4 inch off the top of both heads of garlic. Drizzle lightly with 2 teaspoons of the olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and wrap in heavy-duty foil. Add to a sheet tray. Add the fingerling potatoes to the same sheet tray and drizzle with the remaining oil, giving a toss, and seasoning with salt and pepper. Roast both the potatoes and the garlic until the potatoes are crisp on the outside and cooked through and the garlic is fragrant, 45 minutes.
• Open the packets of garlic and cool. When potatoes are cool enough to handle, slice in half lengthwise.
• To make the dressing, pour in the buttermilk, sour cream, squeeze the garlic out of its skin into the bowl of a food processor, and add a pinch each of salt and pepper. Blend until smooth.
• Add the radishes, arugula, romaine, potatoes and cheese to a salad bowl. Drizzle the salad with enough dressing to coat and toss all together.

GINGER GARLIC STEAK AND NOODLE SALAD

Steps:

• For the steak: In a wide, shallow container with a lid, add the avocado or vegetable oil, soy sauce, sugar, ginger, garlic and sesame oil. Whisk to combine. Add the steak and coat in the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for 4 to 6 hours. Remove the steak from the refrigerator to come to room temperature before cooking, about 1 hour.
• Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Remove the steak from the marinade, pat dry and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side for medium-rare with an internal temperature of 125 degrees F. Remove from the heat and set aside to rest, about 10 minutes. Squeeze the juice of the lime on the rested steak and slice against the grain.
• For the salad: Cook the udon noodles according to the package instructions.
• In a small bowl, combine the avocado or vegetable oil, soy sauce, vinegar, honey, mustard, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, salt and lime juice. Whisk thoroughly to combine and set aside.
• In a large bowl, combine the cabbage and kale. Add the carrots, cilantro, mint, scallions, chiles and noodles and toss to combine. Add the dressing and toss to coat. Add the mango and gently toss. Sprinkle the salad with the peanuts. Arrange the steak over the salad.
• Divide the salad and steak among plates. Serve with lime wedges.

BEET AND WALNUT SALAD WITH DILL

Steps:

• Position a rack in the center of an oven and preheat to 375°F.
• Remove the beet greens, if attached, leaving about 1 inch of stem attached to the beets; reserve greens for another use.
• Place the beets in a baking dish and cover with water by about 1/4 inch.
• Cover tightly and bake until they can be easily pierced with a knife, about 45 minutes or longer, depending on the size of the beets.
• When the beets are cool enough to handle, peel and cut into thin slices.
• (A mandoline helps make neat, even slices.) Place the beets in a bowl, add the vinegar and toss together gently.
• Let stand for 30 minutes.
• Add the olive oil, dill, garlic and salt, stirring gently so the slices don't break.
• Taste and add more vinegar, if needed.
• Stir in the walnuts and serve.
