Time 1h30m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

3 tablespoons seasoned rice vinegar
3 tablespoons lime juice
3 tablespoons fish sauce
2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil
1 clove garlic, minced
One 1-inch piece ginger, peeled and minced
1 Fresno chile, chopped
1 serrano chile, thinly sliced
2 medium carrots, cut into 3-inch lengths and julienned
2 small cucumbers, cut into 3-inch lengths and julienned
One 8-ounce package thin rice noodles
One 1 1/2-pound flank steak
1 tablespoon Thai red curry paste
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup salted roasted peanuts, crushed, plus more for topping
1 bunch fresh cilantro leaves, plus more for topping
1 bunch scallions, white and green parts separated
1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved
2 heads Boston lettuce, leaves separated

Steps:

  • For the rice noodles: In a large bowl, combine the rice vinegar, lime juice, fish sauce, sesame oil, garlic, ginger and Fresno and serrano chiles and stir together. Toss in the carrots and cucumbers and let stand for 15 minutes for the flavors to meld.
  • Bring a large pot of water to the boil. Prepare the noodles according to package instructions. Drain and rinse the noodles with cold running water. Toss the noodles with the vegetables and dressing and refrigerate until serving.
  • For the flank steak: Prepare a grill for direct and indirect heat: For gas grills (with 3 or more burners), turn all the burners to medium-high heat; after about 15 minutes, turn off one of the side burners and turn the remaining burners down to medium. For charcoal grills, bank one chimney starter-full of lit and ashed-over charcoal briquettes to one side of the grill. Set up a drip pan on the other side to avoid flare-ups. (Be sure to consult the grill manufacturer's guide for best results.) If your grill has a thermometer, aim to keep the temperature at about 350 degrees F throughout grilling.
  • Set the flank steak on a cutting board. Starting at the thin, narrow end of the steak, slice it in half horizontally to within 2 inches of the opposite wide end. Open it up like a book so you have 1 long piece. Pound the steak with a mallet to an even thickness of about 1/2 inch. Cover the steak with the curry paste and season with 1 teaspoon salt. Sprinkle with the peanuts, leaving a 1-inch border along the edges. Arrange half of the cilantro and scallion greens in a line, followed by half of the tomatoes and then half of the scallion whites. Repeat with the remaining ingredients. Roll up the steak like a jelly roll, starting at the short end. Tie the roll closed around the circumference with butcher's twine at 2-inch intervals. Tie one more piece of twine lengthwise around the meat. Sprinkle the outside of the meat with salt and pepper.
  • Put the steak on direct heat and cook, turning, to brown all 4 sides, about 2 minutes per side. Move the steak to indirect heat, cover and cook, turning occasionally, until the very center reads 115 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer for a steak that is well done on the outside and medium rare in the center, 25 to 30 minutes more. (Test frequently; the time will vary based on the temperature of your grill.) Let the steak rest 5 to 6 minutes.
  • Untie the steak and cut it into thin slices. Garnish the noodles with chopped nuts and cilantro leaves. Serve with the lettuce leaves on the side.

GRILLED SALMON PITA SANDWICHES



Grilled Salmon Pita Sandwiches image

When cooking fish, I like to season simply and focus on the cooking method to yield moist and delicious results with flavor that speaks for itself. This recipe focuses on that, using lots of lemon zest to enhance the fresh flavor of salmon. Served on grilled pita brushed with garlic butter and topped with a crunchy Asian-inspired broccoli and carrot slaw, I hope it becomes one your favorite fish sandwiches.

Categories     main-dish

Time 30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 20

2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 teaspoons lemon zest (about 4 lemons)
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 pounds center-cut skinless salmon fillet, cut into 1 1/2-inch cubes
1/3 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons orange juice
1 tablespoon unseasoned rice vinegar
1 tablespoon gochujang
1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 1/2 cups julienned carrots (from about 1 large carrot)
1 1/2 cups thinly sliced broccoli florets (from about 5 ounces)
3 scallions, thinly sliced on the bias
Pitas:
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 garlic cloves, grated or minced
4 to 6 pitas
1 lemon, cut into wedges, for serving

Steps:

  • For the salmon: Combine the oil, lemon zest, salt and pepper in a large bowl. Add the salmon cubes and toss to coat. Marinate at room temperature for 15 to 20 minutes.
  • To make the slaw: Whisk the mayonnaise, orange juice, vinegar, gochujang, sesame seeds, sesame oil and salt together in a medium bowl. Add the carrots, broccoli and scallions and toss to combine. Set aside while you grill the salmon, or refrigerate the slaw for up to 3 hours before serving.
  • Preheat a grill pan over medium heat. Divide the salmon between 4 to 6 metal skewers (or wooden skewers soaked in water for 1 hour). Place the skewers on the pan and grill, turning to get grill marks on all four sides, until the salmon is cooked to the desired doneness, about 6 minutes for medium-rare salmon. Transfer to a plate and let rest a few minutes.
  • For the pitas: Place the butter and garlic in a small microwave-safe bowl and microwave until the butter is melted and the garlic becomes very fragrant, about 30 seconds. Brush the pitas with the garlic butter and place on the grill pan until lightly toasted and warmed through, about 1 minute per side.
  • Place a pita on a plate, top with the broccoli slaw and then the grilled salmon from 1 skewer. Serve immediately with lemon wedges.
