Skirt Steak With Arugula Salad Food

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.

MOROCCAN SKIRT STEAK SALAD WITH CHERMOULA

Steps:

• Marinate and grill the steak:
• Season steak with salt and pepper. Place steak in a large resealable bag or bowl. Pour chermoula over, toss to coat, then let rest at room temperature at least 1 hour.
• Prepare a grill for medium-high heat or heat grill pan over medium-high; lightly oil grate or pan. Remove steak from marinade; discard marinade. Grill steak until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center registers 125°F, 2-3 minutes per side for medium-rare. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest 10 minutes before slicing against the grain.
• Assemble the salad:
• Toss carrots, cucumbers, arugula, salt, pepper, 1/2 cup herbs, and 1/4 cup chermoula sauce in a large bowl. Divide salad among 4 plates. Top with steak and remaining 1/2 cup herbs. Drizzle salads with remaining 1/4 cup chermoula sauce. Top with feta and pomegranate seeds.
• Do Ahead
• Steak can be marinated 10 hours ahead; chill in bag. Let steak come to room temperature at least 1 hour before cooking.

FLANK STEAK AND ARUGULA SALAD

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine chili powder, oregano, cumin, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Rub spice mixture evenly over flank steak to coat.
• In a large skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Add steak; cook until browned on one side, 5 to 8 minutes. Turn; cook until browned on other side, 5 to 8 minutes for medium-rare (reduce heat if browning too quickly). Remove steak from skillet; let rest at least 5 minutes before thinly slicing.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together salsa and vinegar; season with salt and pepper. Add arugula; toss to coat with dressing. Divide among four plates; serve with steak, and crumble goat cheese over the top.

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.

GRILLED SKIRT-STEAK SALAD

Steps:

• Heat a grill to medium-high. Season steak with salt and pepper. Brush corn and onion with olive oil; season with salt and pepper. Lightly brush grates with vegetable oil.
• Grill corn, turning occasionally, until lightly charred, 10 to 12 minutes. Grill onion until lightly charred and tender, 6 to 8 minutes a side. Transfer vegetables to a cutting board. When cool enough to handle, cut kernels from cobs and coarsely chop onion.
• Meanwhile, grill steak until a thermometer inserted into thickest part registers 125°F for medium-rare, about 3 minutes a side. Transfer to a plate; drizzle with 2 tablespoons vinaigrette. Let stand 10 minutes, then slice against the grain.
• In a large salad bowl or platter, layer romaine, bell pepper, tomatoes, corn, and onion. Season to taste; drizzle with half of remaining vinaigrette. Top with steak and feta. Serve with remaining dressing on the side.

SKIRT STEAK WITH ORANGE AND FREGOLA SALAD

Steps:

• 1. Preheat broiler. In a saucepan of boiling salted water, cook the *fregola until al dente, about 20 minutes. Drain and cool under running water. Shake off the excess water.
• 2. Meanwhile, rub the steaks with the chile powder and season with salt and pepper. Broil the steaks and the onion slabs over high heat for about 8 minutes, turning after 4 minutes, for medium rare meat and tender onions. Let steak rest. Let onions cool slightly, then coarsely chop them.
• 3. In a large bowl, whisk the lemon juice into the olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Add the fennel, oranges, arugula, radishes, fregola, onions and toss well. Thinly slice the skirt steaks across the grain and arrange on plates. Spoon the tatenade over the steaks, mound the salad alongside and serve.
