Time 12h12m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 limes, divided
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons soy sauce, divided
2 tablespoons grated fresh ginger
2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil (dark)
3 garlic cloves, divided
1 1/4 lbs flank steaks, rinsed and patted dry
2 carrots, peeled and trimmed
10 cups shredded napa cabbage (about 1/2 head) or 10 cups cabbage (about 1/2 head)
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro, mint or 1/4 cup basil
1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olives or 2 tablespoons peanut oil
1 teaspoon thia fish sauce (such as nam pla or nuoc mam) or 1 teaspoon vietnamese fish sauce (such as nam pla or nuoc mam)
1 pinch ground red pepper (cayenne)
kosher salt
fresh ground black pepper
2 tablespoons chopped peanuts (optional)

Steps:

  • To make the marinade, grate the zest from 1 lime; juice that lime. Whisk together 1/4 cup soy sauce, lime juice and zest, ginger and sesame oil. Chop 2 cloves garlic. With a mortar and pestle or with the flat side of a knife, mash the garlic into a paste. Whisk into the marinade.
  • Place the steak in a shallow dish and cover with the marinade, turning completely to coat. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour and up to 12 hours. (Alternate method: place steak in a ziplock bag, pour over marinade, squeeze out air, seal and massage to distribute marinade.) Remove the steak from the refrigerator 30 minutes before cooking.
  • In the meantime in a food processor fitted with the large grating attachment, shred the carrots. Transfer to a large bowl. Add cabbage and cilantro; toss well. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 3 hours.
  • To make the vinaigrette, juice the remaining lime. In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining 2 tablespoons soy sauce, vinegar, olive or peanut oil, fish sauce, lime juice and cayenne. Chop the remaining garlic clove. Using a mortar and pestle or with the back of a knife, mash garlic to a paste; whisk into the vinaigrette.
  • Heat a broiler or grill. Remove the steak from the marinade, scraping off excess; season with salt and pepper to taste. Cook, turning once halfway through, until browned, 5 or 6 minutes per side for medium/medium-rare. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest for 5 minutes. Thinly slice against the grain.
  • To assemble, add just enough of the vinaigrette to the salad to coat it; toss well. Taste and add more dressing or salt or lime juice if desired. Place the salad onto the center of a platter and top with the steak. Sprinkle with chopped peanuts and drizzle with more vinaigrette.

Number Of Ingredients 19

For marinade
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon red-wine vinegar
1 tablespoon grated peeled fresh gingerroot
1 garlic clove, minced and mashed to a paste with 1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon dried hot red pepper flakes, or to taste
two 1-inch-thick filets mignons (3/4 pound), any fat trimmed
2 teaspoons vegetable oil
1/2 pound fresh shiitake mushrooms, stems discarded and caps sliced
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup water
1 tablespoon honey
1 small Napa cabbage (about 1 1/2 pounds), trimmed and sliced thin crosswise
1 cup packed >I/I
1 medium red bell pepper, cut into thin strips
1 Asian pear or firm-ripe Bosc pear, cut into 1/4-inch julienne strips
2 scallions, sliced thin
1/2 cup packed fresh coriander sprigs

Steps:

  • Make marinade:
  • In a shallow bowl stir together marinade ingredients.
  • Add filets to marinade, turning to coat, and marinate at room temperature 15 minutes. Remove filets from marinade, letting excess drip off, and reserve marinade. In a 10-inch non-stick skillet heat oil over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking and sauté filets about 4 minutes on each side for medium-rare meat. Transfer filets to a cutting board.
  • In any drippings remaining in skillet cook mushrooms with salt, stirring frequently, until golden, about 3 minutes. Add reserved marinade, water, and honey and bring to a boil. Remove skillet from heat and cool mixture 10 minutes.
  • In a large bowl combine cabbage, mizuna or arugula, bell pepper, pear, scallions, and all but 4 sprigs coriander. Add mushroom mixture and toss to coat. Cut filets into thin slices. Mound cabbage mixture on 4 dinner plates and arrange steak slices on top. Garnish with reserved coriander sprigs.

Tips:

- For the perfect Asian steak salad, choose a flavorful cut of steak, such as flank steak or skirt steak. Make sure to slice the steak thinly against the grain for maximum tenderness. - To save time, you can marinate the steak overnight or for at least 30 minutes before cooking. This will help infuse the steak with flavor and make it more tender. - When cooking the steak, be sure to sear it over high heat to get a nice crust. Then, reduce the heat and cook the steak to your desired doneness. - For the cucumber-Napa cabbage slaw, use a mandoline or sharp knife to thinly slice the vegetables. This will help them absorb the dressing better. - Be sure to taste the dressing before adding it to the slaw. You may need to adjust the amount of soy sauce, rice vinegar, or sesame oil to suit your taste. - To make the salad more substantial, you can add cooked rice or quinoa. You can also top the salad with crumbled feta cheese or chopped peanuts for added flavor and texture.

Conclusion:

This Asian steak salad is a delicious and refreshing meal that is perfect for a light lunch or dinner. The combination of tender steak, crisp vegetables, and flavorful dressing is sure to please everyone at the table. With a few simple tips, you can easily make this salad at home and enjoy a taste of Asian cuisine.
