Grilled Grass Fed Steak With Salsa Verde Food

FLANK STEAK WITH SALSA VERDE

Steps:

• Make the salsa verde: Pulse the parsley, scallions, capers, lemon zest and juice, anchovies, garlic, mustard and olive oil in a food processor until slightly chunky. Pour into a bowl and season with salt.
• Preheat a grill to high or place a grill pan over high heat. Pierce the steak all over with a fork and season with salt and pepper. Oil the grill or pan; grill the steak, 4 to 5 minutes per side for medium-rare, turning once. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest for 5 minutes.
• Slice the tomatoes and season with salt and pepper. Thinly slice the steak against the grain. Serve with the tomatoes and salsa verde.

GRILLED GRASS-FED STEAK WITH SALSA VERDE

Steps:

• Process the bread in a food processor until ground fine, about 20 seconds. Add anchovies, garlic, mustard, capers, vinegar, olive oil, parsley and mint and process until well blended, about 30 seconds, scraping down sides of bowl as needed. Season to taste with salt and pepper and transfer to a bowl. Refrigerate at least 1 hour to let the flavors blend. Prepare a medium-hot fire in a charcoal or gas grill (see note). If using skirt steak, trim any excess fat and cut into 6-inch lengths. Season the meat liberally with salt and pepper. Put the steaks on the grill and cook, without moving, until well browned, 4 to 6 minutes. Flip steak and cook second side until just browned, 2 to 4 minutes longer for rare, about 5 minutes longer for medium rare (times will vary depending on the thickness of the steak). Transfer to cutting board and allow to rest 7 to 10 minutes. Cut the steaks against the grain into slices -- thick or thin depending on your taste -- and serve immediately accompanied by salsa verde. Note: To check grill temperature, count the seconds you can hold your hand, palm side down, 2 to 3 inches above the rack, until it feels uncomfortable: 3 seconds for medium-hot.

SKIRT STEAK WITH SALSA VERDE SALAD

Steps:

• If necessary, cut the steak crosswise into large pieces that will fit into a shallow, nonreactive dish. Transfer the steaks to the dish. In a glass measuring cup or bowl, whisk together the olive oil, vinegar, scallions, capers, garlic, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Pour about 1/3 of the dressing (about 1/3 cup) over the steak and turn to coat both sides.
• Add the parsley and 1 tablespoon mint to the reserved dressing, stir, and set aside until ready to use. Cover and refrigerate the steak for at least 30 minutes or up to 24 hours. (If marinating the steak overnight, cover and refrigerate the reserved dressing.)
• In a small sauté pan set over medium heat, toast the pine nuts, tossing often, until golden brown, about 3 minutes. Set aside.
• Set the grill to medium-high heat, or heat a grill pan on the stovetop over medium-high. Pat the steaks dry with a paper towel and grill for 3 to 5 minutes on each side for medium-rare. Transfer to a plate, sprinkle with salt, and allow to rest for 10 minutes.
• While the steak rests, cut the romaine hearts lengthwise into quarters. Arrange the romaine hearts in one layer on a large platter, leaving room on one side for the steak. Sprinkle the feta, pine nuts and the remaining 1 tablespoon mint over the romaine. Slice the steak crosswise into 3-inch pieces, then slice against the grain to cut the steak into wide strips. Arrange the sliced steak on the platter, then drizzle the reserved dressing over the romaine and steak. Serve immediately.
