GRILLED STEAK SALAD WITH CHILE AND BROWN SUGAR



Grilled Steak Salad With Chile and Brown Sugar image

In this summery beef salad, pieces of grilled, marinated flank steak and charred red onions are tossed with a mound of spicy greens, avocado and a tangy lime-spiked dressing. Keep the flank steak on the rare side - this lean cut is best when still very juicy - then slice it thinly against the grain for the most tender meat.

Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 garlic cloves, finely grated or minced
1 tablespoon dark brown sugar
1 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more as needed
1 teaspoon ancho chile powder
1 teaspoon dried oregano, crumbled between fingers
1/4 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1 1/2 pounds flank steak
1 large red onion, sliced into 1/2-inch-thick rounds
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 avocado, peeled, seeded and diced
5 ounces spicy greens, such as arugula, watercress, baby kale, tatsoi or a mix of greens (about 5 cups)
4 radishes, thinly sliced
1 scallion, thinly sliced

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, whisk together half of the grated garlic (reserve the other half for the dressing), sugar, salt, chile powder, oregano, sesame oil and cumin. Add steak and thoroughly coat it with marinade; marinate for at least 1 hour and up to overnight.
  • Heat the grill to medium-high, or heat the broiler. Grill or broil steak and onion slices, about 2 to 4 minutes per side for medium-rare. If onions aren't charred, give them another minute or two while the steak rests.
  • Transfer steak to a plate and let it rest for 5 minutes, then slice thinly against the grain (save the juices). Chop onions into bite-sized pieces.
  • Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, whisk together lime juice, remaining garlic, a large pinch of salt, and oil. Drizzle a little of the juice from the rested steak into dressing.
  • Sprinkle avocado with salt. In a large bowl, toss spicy greens, radishes and scallions with just enough dressing to coat it. Gently mix in avocado. Transfer to serving plates and top with the steak and onions.

10 stalks celery (about 1 bunch), cut into 1-inch pieces

Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
2 tablespoons light mayonnaise
Juice of 2 limes
2 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon green hot sauce

3/4 cup pineapple juice
1/2 cup packed light-brown sugar
1/2 cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons mirin
1 tablespoon dark sesame oil
4 cloves garlic, roughly chopped
2 scallions, roughly chopped
1 small onion, roughly chopped
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 pounds flank steak
4 peaches, halved and pitted
Olive oil, for brushing
3 hearts of romaine, halved lengthwise
2 medium red onions, cut into 1/4-inch-thick rings

1/2 cup fresh cilantro leaves, roughly chopped
1/3 cup fresh basil leaves, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons pineapple juice
Kosher salt

Steps:

  • For the steak and peaches: Put the pineapple juice, brown sugar, soy sauce, mirin, sesame oil, garlic, scallions, onion and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a blender and blend until smooth. Combine three-quarters of the marinade with the flank steak in a large resealable plastic freezer bag. Combine the remaining marinade with the peaches in a separate resealable plastic freezer bag. Refrigerate both at least 45 minutes and up to 4 hours.
  • Prepare a grill for high heat.
  • For the salad: Using the tongs from a Food Network 17-piece Grilling Tool Set, grill the romaine cut-side down until lightly charred, about 1 minute. Transfer to a large platter. Put a stainless-steel mesh Food Network Grilling Tray on the grill. Add the onions and grill, tossing occasionally, until tender and charred in spots, about 5 minutes.
  • Remove the steak from the marinade, shake off any excess, and put on a baking sheet. Sprinkle both sides with salt and pepper. Remove the peaches from the marinade to a plate. Grill the steak until well browned, about 5 minutes per side for medium rare. Set aside on a cutting board to rest. Brush the peaches with olive oil and grill cut-side down just until grill-marks appear, about 1 minute.
  • For the dressing: Meanwhile, whisk together the lime juice, olive oil, pineapple juice and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a small bowl until combined.
  • Thinly slice the steak against the grain. Cut the peaches into thick wedges.
  • Scatter the cucumbers, tomatoes, onions, peaches, cilantro and basil over the romaine. Top with the steak and sprinkle with the sesame seeds. Drizzle with the dressing.
