Best 4 Skirt Steak With Lentil Salad Recipes

SKIRT STEAK WITH LENTIL SALAD

Steps:

• To make the lentil salad, put the water in a large saucepan. Wash the lentils in a colander and add to the saucepan. Add the carrots, bay leaf, thyme and salt. Cover and simmer 20 to 25 minutes. Do not overcook. Drain and remove the bay leaf and thyme sprigs.
• In a large mixing bowl combine the mustard, 3/4 cup of oil and the vinegar, onions, tarragon, salt and pepper. Blend well with a wire whisk. Add the lentils and stir. Serve warm, lukewarm or cool.
• To prepare the meat, sprinkle it on both sides with salt and pepper and brush with 1 tablespoon of oil.
• Heat a cast-iron skillet large enough to hold two steaks over high heat, add the steaks and brown them for 3 minutes for medium-rare. Turn and continue cooking until they are thoroughly browned, about 3 minutes more. Remove to a warm platter. Repeat the procedure for the two remaining steaks.
• Pour the fat from the skillet and reduce the heat. Add the butter, garlic and parsley. Cook briefly, stirring. Add any juices from the platter and blend well. Pour the sauce over the steaks and serve with the lentil salad immediately.

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.

STEAK, BEETROOT, HORSERADISH & WARM LENTIL SALAD

Steps:

• Whisk together the horseradish, yogurt and honey. Season and add lemon juice to taste.
• Season the steak on all sides with a little salt and black pepper. Heat 1 tbsp oil in a non-stick frying pan. Add the steak and cook to your liking, 2-3 mins on each side for medium rare. Set aside to rest.
• Put the pan back on the heat, add the remaining oil, lightly crush in the garlic, then tip in the peas, lentils, beans and beetroot. Cook for a few mins, stirring, until the peas and beetroot are warmed through. Remove from the heat, then stir through the remaining lemon juice, dill and rocket.
• Thinly slice the steak. Divide the lentil salad between two plates, nestle in the steak and drizzle over the dressing.

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.
