Skirt Steak With Mushroom Hash Food

SKIRT STEAK WITH MUSHROOMS AND RED WINE SAUCE

Steps:

• Soak dried mushrooms in hot water 15 minutes. Drain mushrooms, reserving liquid. Rinse mushrooms thoroughly. Strain soaking liquid through coffee filter or paper towel.
• Meanwhile, let steaks warm at room temperature 10-15 minutes.
• Heat oil in heavy skillet over medium heat. Add steaks and saute, turning once, about 8 minutes for medium-rare. Remove to serving platter and cover loosely.
• Pour off all but thin layer of fat from skillet. Heat over medium heat. Add shallots and cook, stirring constantly, just until wilted, about 30 seconds. Stir in both dried and fresh mushrooms and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring constantly, until lightly browned, about 3 minutes. Pour in wine and mushroom-soaking liquid. Boil until liquid is reduced by half. Stir in cream and any meat juices on plates. Taste and adjust seasonings. Spoon sauce over steaks and serve hot.

GRILLED SKIRT STEAK HASH WITH ROASTED RED PEPPER HOLLANDAISE

Steps:

• For the dry rub: Combine the black pepper, brown sugar, salt, ancho chile powder, granulated garlic, instant espresso powder, ground oregano, onion powder and dry mustard powder in a small bowl and stir to combine thoroughly.
• Toss the asparagus with the olive oil, salt, and pepper.
• Press the dry rub into the steak and rub liberally on both sides. Preheat an oiled grill to medium-high heat. Cook the steak on one side until seared, about 8 minutes, then flip over. Add the asparagus to the grill. Cook the asparagus and steak until the asparagus is tender, about 10 minutes, and the steak reaches an internal temperature of 135 degrees F. Tent the steak with foil and let rest for 10 minutes. Slice thinly against the grain.
• For the hash: Heat a 12 inch cast iron skillet (or heavy, large pan) to medium heat. Add 1/4 cup olive oil, then add the diced potatoes. Season with salt and pepper and let the potatoes cook on all sides. When the potatoes are about 3/4 of the way done and just starting to brown on all sides, add the onion and green and red bell peppers. Cook until the vegetables are cooked and caramelized, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir in the garlic and saute for another 30 seconds. Taste for seasoning.
• To serve: Cut the asparagus into 1-inch pieces and toss with the potato mixture. Plate the hash with the sliced steak on top, drizzle with the roasted red pepper hollandaise and garnish with the chopped scallions and sliced avocado. Dust with smoked paprika if desired.
• Over a stovetop gas flame, or under a broiler, char the red peppers on all sides. Place the peppers in a bowl and cover tightly with plastic wrap. Let rest 10 minutes. Remove the plastic wrap and peel or rub the skin off each pepper. Discard the stems and seeds from the peppers.
• Add the egg yolks, lemon juice, salt, paprika and cayenne to a blender. Blend the yolk mixture at medium speed until it lightens in color, about 25 seconds. Lower the speed and slowly begin to drizzle in the melted butter. Add in the charred peppers and blend until the mixture is smooth and homogenous. Season with more salt, cayenne pepper, or lemon juice if desired.

MUSHROOM HASH WITH POACHED EGGS

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large non-stick frying pan and fry the onions for a few mins. Cover the pan and leave the onions to cook in their own steam for 5 mins more.
• Tip in the mushrooms with the thyme and cook, stirring frequently, for 5 mins until softened. Add the tomatoes and paprika, cover the pan and cook for 5 mins until pulpy. Stir through the seed mix.
• If you're making this recipe as part of our two-person Summer Healthy Diet Plan, poach two of the eggs in lightly simmering water to your liking. Serve on top of half the hash with a sprinkling of fresh thyme and some black pepper. Chill the remaining hash to warm in a pan and eat with freshly poached eggs on another day. If you're serving four people, poach all four eggs, divide the hash between four plates, sprinkle with thyme and black pepper and serve with the eggs on top.
