Sauteed Flank Steak With Arugula And Roasted Cauliflower And Red Peppers Food

SAUTEED FLANK STEAK WITH ARUGULA AND ROASTED CAULIFLOWER AND RED PEPPERS

Steps:

• Put oven rack in upper third of oven and preheat oven to 500°F.
• Toss cauliflower, bell peppers, and garlic with olive oil, 1 teaspoon thyme, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a large bowl. Spread in a large shallow baking pan (at least 15 by 10 inches) and roast, turning over once or twice, until vegetables are tender and slightly charred, 25 to 30 minutes.
• While vegetables roast, heat a dry 10-inch heavy skillet (not nonstick; preferably cast-iron) over moderately high heat until hot, about 3 minutes. Meanwhile, stir together remaining teaspoon thyme, teaspoon pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a small bowl. Pat steak dry and rub both sides with thyme mixture.
• Add vegetable oil to hot skillet, then add steak and sauté, turning over once, 5 to 7 minutes total for medium-rare. Transfer to a cutting board and let stand, loosely covered with foil, 5 minutes.
• Reserve roasted garlic cloves and 1 cup roasted bell peppers. Toss arugula with remaining roasted vegetables in pan to wilt, then transfer to a platter.
• Blend reserved garlic and bell peppers with broth, vinegar, and salt and pepper to taste in a blender until smooth. Transfer sauce to a small bowl or sauceboat.
• Holding a knife at a 45-degree angle, cut steak across the grain into thin slices and arrange on platter with vegetables. Pour any juices accumulated on cutting board over meat and serve sauce on the side.

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Place cauliflower steaks on the prepared baking sheet.
• Whisk olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper together in a bowl. Brush 1/2 of the olive oil mixture over the tops of the cauliflower steaks.
• Roast cauliflower steaks in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Gently turn over each steak and brush with remaining olive oil mixture. Continue roasting until tender and golden, 15 to 20 minutes more.

CAULIFLOWER STEAKS WITH ROASTED RED PEPPER & OLIVE SALSA

Steps:

• Heat oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7 and line a baking tray with baking parchment. Slice the cauliflower into two 1-inch steaks - use the middle part as it's larger, and save the rest for another time. Rub the paprika and ½ tbsp oil over the steaks and season. Put on the tray and roast for 15-20 mins until cooked through.
• Meanwhile, make the salsa. Chop the pepper, olives, parsley and capers, and put into a bowl and mix with the remaining oil and vinegar. Season to taste. When the steaks are cooked, spoon over the salsa and top with flaked almonds to serve.

FLANK STEAK WITH SAUTEED EDAMAME AND WASABI-MUSTARD DRESSING

Steps:

• Bring the chicken stock to a boil. Add 3 cups Arborio rice. Cover and simmer for 20 minutes. Allow rice to cool and reserve it for meals later in the week.
• While rice is cooking, coat a large stove-top grill pan or griddle with cooking spray and set over medium-high heat to preheat. Season both sides of flank steak with salt, black pepper and mesquite seasoning. Place flank steak on hot grill along with the red pepper rounds. Cook the steak 3 to 5 minutes per side, until almost cooked through but still slightly pink. Cook the red peppers until slightly charred. Remove and set aside. Remove steak from grill pan and let rest 10 minutes before slicing crosswise on a diagonal into 1/2-inch thick slices.
• Meanwhile, heat sesame oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and ginger and cook 1 minute. Add edamame and soy sauce and cook 2 to 3 minutes, until golden brown, stirring frequently. Remove from heat.
• In a small bowl, whisk together rice vinegar, oil, mustard, and wasabi paste.
• Arrange flank steak slices and red pepper rounds on a serving platter. Top with half of the sauteed edamame (reserve remaining edamame for Edamame-Rice Salad with Teriyaki Tuna). Spoon wasabi dressing over edamame and steak. Serve with 2 cups of the rice. Reserve remaining rice for Asparagus-Wild Mushroom Risotto with Parmesan and Edamame-Rice Salad with Teriyaki Tuna.

ROSEMARY FLANK STEAK WITH ARUGULA SALAD

Steps:

• Combine 2 tablespoons olive oil, 2 grated garlic cloves and the chopped rosemary in a small bowl. Pierce the steak all over with a fork; rub with the garlic oil. Let marinate 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the remaining 1 grated garlic clove and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 30 seconds. Add the beans and their liquid, the rosemary sprig and 1/2 cup water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Cover and set aside to keep warm.
• Meanwhile, toss the red onion and lemon juice in a large bowl; set aside. Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat; brush with olive oil. Season the steak with salt and pepper and grill until marked and cooked through, 5 minutes per side. Transfer to a cutting board.
• Add the arugula and the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil to the bowl with the onion; season with salt and pepper and toss. Discard the rosemary sprig from the beans and stir in the parsley; thin with water if needed. Slice the steak against the grain and serve with the beans. Top each serving with the arugula salad and parmesan.

ROASTED PARMESAN CAULIFLOWER STEAKS #RAGU

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to boil. Cut the rounded sides off the cauliflower. Cut each center piece in half lengthwise in order to make 2 steaks. Make sure to carefully remove any green, leafy bottoms from the cauliflower steaks.
• Rinse off the steaks and the florets. Place in boiling water for 5-7 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in a bowl, mix the buttermilk, italian seasoning, red pepper flakes, and 1 tsp of salt together. Set aside. Pulse together 2 cups arugula, pine nuts, 1/4 cup parmesan, garlic, basil, remaining salt, pepper, and 1/2 cup olive oil for 30 seconds; set aside.
• Drain the cauliflower, and place them into a large gallon plastic, resealable bag. Reserve 1/2 cup of boiling water. Pour the buttermilk marinade into the bag, and coat the cauliflower very well. Marinate the steaks for an hour by laying the bag flat. Carefully, flipping the bag over halfway through.
• Preheat oven to 450F degrees. Mix the remaining parmesan with the breadcrumbs. Set aside for dredging along with the flour and egg wash.
• Remove the cauliflower steaks from the bag. Drain. Dredge one side of each steak in flour, egg wash, and lastly, parmesan bread crumbs. Place the steaks dredged side up on a baking rack along with the other marinated florets. Place the baking rack in a cookie sheet to catch any drippings.
• Roast on 450F degrees for 30 minutes, covered. Uncover for the last 15 minutes until fork tender.
• In an electric blender, blend all the smaller roasted florets, the Ragú pasta sauce, and reserved water until smooth. Heat stovetop on medium-high heat. Assemble each plate with sauce, pesto, a cauliflower steak, and additional arugula.
