Marinated Skirt Steak With Apricot Arugula Rice Food

SKIRT STEAK WITH ARUGULA SALAD

Steps:

• Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the bread cubes and cook until crisp and slightly golden, turning as needed, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper and cook, tossing, until the garlic is slightly golden, about 30 seconds. Transfer to a large bowl; wipe out the skillet. Add the radishes, tomatoes, basil, capers and caper brine to the bowl and toss to combine.
• Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in the same skillet over medium-high heat. Season the steak with salt and pepper, add to the pan and sear until browned on the bottom, about 5 minutes. Turn and sear until browned on the other side, 3 to 5 more minutes. Transfer the steak to a cutting board and let rest 5 minutes.
• Add the arugula and the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil to the bowl with the salad and toss to coat; season with salt and pepper. Thinly slice the steak against the grain and divide among plates. Serve with the salad.

Steps:

• Season steak with salt and pepper. Brush with 1 tablespoon curry paste; let stand 10 minutes. Combine rice, 1 3/4 cups water, 1 tablespoon oil, and 3/4 teaspoon salt in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, then stir once, cover, and reduce heat to low. Simmer until rice is tender, about 15 minutes. Add white and light-green scallions; cover to steam.
• Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high. Swirl in 1 tablespoon oil. Add steak; cook, flipping once, 7 to 9 minutes for medium-rare. Transfer to a carving board. Reduce heat to medium. Add 1 tablespoon oil and remaining 2 tablespoons curry paste to skillet; cook 1 minute. Add 3/4 cup water; cook until reduced to 1/2 cup, 30 seconds. Transfer to a bowl; cover. Wipe skillet clean; add remaining 1 tablespoon oil and heat over medium. Add snap peas, season with salt, and cook, stirring occasionally, until crisp-tender, 2 to 3 minutes. Fluff rice; stir in scallion tops. Slice steak against the grain; serve with rice, peas, and curry sauce.
