Lime Garlic Sirloin With Tomato Cucumber Salad Food

SWEET AND SALTY GRILLED STEAK WITH CUCUMBER SALAD

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine the fish sauce, lime zest, lime juice, brown sugar, garlic and jalapeño. Pour 1/2 of the mixture over the flank steak and let marinate at room temperature for at least 30 minutes (or refrigerate for up to 24 hours). Let meat come to room temperature before cooking if necessary.
• Combine the cucumber, radishes and scallions. Pour in just enough of the marinade sauce to coat.
• Light the grill or heat the broiler to high. Pat steak dry with paper towels.
• If grilling, cook until done to taste, about 3 minutes per side for rare. If broiling, heat a 10-inch skillet over high heat for 5 minutes. Add oil to pan and sear the meat for 2 minutes. Flip meat and immediately transfer pan directly to top shelf of oven and broil for 2 to 3 minutes for rare, or longer for more well-done meat. Transfer steak to a cutting board and let rest for 10 minutes covered in foil.
• Thinly slice steak and serve over cooked rice noodles or rice if desired, and top with the cucumber salad. Garnish with sesame seeds and plenty of herbs if using and serve with remaining marinade as a sauce.

SUNNY'S EASY CUMIN-RUBBED STEAK WITH CUCUMBER SALAD

Steps:

• For the steaks: In a small bowl, combine the cumin, paprika, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Sprinkle over both sides of each steak and rub into the meat. Rest at room temperature for 2 hours.
• Once the steaks have rested, heat a large cast-iron skillet or griddle pan on medium-high heat. Drizzle the steaks with olive oil on both sides, then add the steaks to the hot skillet. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes, then flip and cook on the second side just 2 minutes more, or until desired doneness. Remove the steaks to a plate, cover with aluminum foil and let rest for 10 minutes.
• For the cucumber salad: In a medium bowl, combine the lime juice, vinegar, sugar, a pinch of salt and a few grinds of black pepper and whisk together until the sugar and salt have dissolved. Add the cucumber, radishes, red onion and jalapeno if using. Toss and let sit at room temperature while the steaks are resting. Serve the steaks topped with the cucumber mixture.
