CUBAN STEAK WITH GARLIC CITRUS MARINADE AND SALSA RECIPE



Cuban Steak With Garlic Citrus Marinade and Salsa Recipe image

Found this online at cdkitchen.com. Posting for ZWT. This sounds like it would make a wonderful steak!!

Provided by diner524

Categories     Steak

Time 30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 (5 -6 ounce) flank steaks
4 garlic cloves, peeled
1/2 cup orange juice
1/4 cup lemon juice
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 large sweet oranges
1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh cilantro
black pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat grill. Meanwhile, prepare the steaks. Trim any excess fat or connective tissue from them. One at a time, place each steak piece between two sheets of waxed paper; pound with a meat pounder until they are flattened to a thickness of about 1/2".
  • Press the garlic cloves through a garlic press and put into a large, shallow dish. Add the orange and lemon juices and the olive oil and stir well. Add the steaks, turning them in the mixture to coat them, and leave them in the dish at room temperature.
  • To prepare the Orange-Onion Salsa: Segment the oranges. Using a sharp knife, first cut off the peel at the top and bottom of each orange, cutting thickly enough to remove the outer membrane of the orange segments as well. Then stand each orange on a cut end and cut off the peel in strips in the same way.
  • Holding the peeled orange over a bowl to catch the juices, free each segment by cutting between it and the membranes on either side; cut the freed segment crosswise in half; let the halves drop into the bowl. Add the sliced onion and cilantro and toss well, seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Carefully oil the grill rack. Remove the steaks from their marinade, pat them dry, and season them with salt and pepper to taste. Place the steaks on the rack and cook, turning once, until done to your liking, 12-15 minutes total for medium.
  • Serve the steaks, passing around the Orange-Onion Salsa for guests to spoon alongside the meat.

1 head cauliflower (about 2 1/2 pounds)
5 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper

BROILED STEAK WITH PINEAPPLE AND ONION SALSA



Broiled Steak with Pineapple and Onion Salsa image

Most modern broilers are now unfortunately equipped with thermostats, so they cycle on and off, never really getting hot enough. Start by heating your oven to its maximum temperature, typically 550 degrees; then turn on the broiler. While the oven is preheating, leave a skillet or a grill pan (a ridged skillet) inside. The best pans for this are cast-iron, enameled cast-iron, or heavy-duty steel - not stainless steel, but what chefs call "black steel." Almost needless to say, this pan must be all metal and not flimsy. Keep potholders handy. In most cases, that skillet will stay as close to the heating element as possible, about two or three inches away. That's roughly the distance you want if you have an old-fashioned under-oven broiler, even though it will allow you to put the food closer, almost in contact with the flames. Adjustments may also be needed with a really powerful broiler, of the kind more often found in restaurants, where two or three inches may be way too close. After a little experimenting, you'll find the ideal distance for your broiler.

Categories     dinner, easy, quick, main course

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 pineapple, peeled, cored and cut into thick rings (canned rings are O.K.; drain excess syrup)
1 large onion, cut into thick slices
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon minced fresh chile, like jalapeno or Thai, or to taste, or dried red chile flakes or cayenne to taste
2 tablespoons chopped basil or mint leaves
2 tablespoons lime juice
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 12- to 16-ounce sirloin strip or ribeye steaks, preferably at room temperature

Steps:

  • Start broiler; set rack about 4 inches from heat source. Brush pineapple and onion slices with olive oil and put on a baking sheet. Broil, turning once or twice, until soft and slightly charred, about 8 minutes total. Remove slices as they finish cooking and chop into bite-size chunks, saving as much juice as possible. When finished, set a cast-iron pan under broiler and let sit for about 10 minutes.
  • In a bowl, combine pineapple and onions with chile, basil and lime juice. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and stir to combine. Let sit for about 5 minutes, then taste and add more chile, lime or salt to taste.
  • Season steaks with salt and pepper. When pan is very hot, carefully remove from oven and add steaks; return to oven immediately. Broil steaks 6 to 10 minutes for rare to medium rare. (Timing will depend on thickness of meat and broiler heat; check by feel or by making a small slit in one steak and peeking in.) Serve steaks hot, with salsa.

FULLBLOOD WAGYU TOP ROUND STEAK WITH SALSA AND CHEESE PUPUSAS



Fullblood Wagyu Top Round Steak with Salsa and Cheese Pupusas image

Categories     Beef

Number Of Ingredients 26

1 Double 8 Cattle Company Top Round Steak Tenderized
1 cup Marinade: Mango and Pineapple Juice
1/2 cup Grapeseed Oil
4 Garlic Cloves (smashed)
1/2 cup Cilantro (stems and leaves)
2 teaspoons Kosher Salt
1/2 teaspoon Black Pepper
1 Lime (juiced)
1 Tropical salsa: Large Ripe Mango (small diced)
1/2 Pineapple (small diced)
1 Small Red Onion (small diced)
2 alapenos (seeded, small diced)
3 Garlic Cloves (minced)
1/2 cup Cilantro (leaves only, minced)
2 Roma Tomatoes (small diced)
1 Large Avocado (small diced)
1 Lime (juiced)
1 Kosher Salt & Black Pepper (to taste)
3 cups Cheese Pupusas: Instant Corn Masa Flour
3 teaspoons Kosher Salt
1 teaspoon Cumin
1/2 teaspoon Garlic Powder
2 2/3 cup Hot Water
8 ounces Jack Cheese
1/3 cup No Stick Mixture: Oil
1 cup Warm Water

Steps:

  • PREPARING THE MARINADE: Mix the mango and pineapple juice, grapeseed oil, smashed garlic cloves, cilantro, lime juice, kosher salt, and black pep-per in a large casserole dish. Add the Fullblood Wagyu top round steak, and coat it in the marinade. Place the casserole dish in the refrigerator, and let the steak marinate for 4 hours. Pull it out every hour to turn the steak and coat it with the marinade. Pull the marinated steak out of the refrigerator, and let it sit at room temperature for one hour before starting the grill.
  • PREPARING THE TROPICAL SALSA: Place all of the salsa ingredients (diced mango, diced pineapple, diced red onion, seeded and diced jalapenos, minced garlic, minced cilantro, diced tomatoes, diced avocado, and lime juice) in a medium size bowl.Mix the ingredients together, and season to taste with kosher salt and black pepper.Refrigerate the salsa until you're ready to serve it.
  • PREPARING THE CHEESE PUPUSAS: Using a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the masa flour, kosher salt, cumin, garlic powder, and hot water on medium speed. Mix until the dough is very thick and sticky.Note: If you do not have a stand mixer, you can mix the ingredients manually in a large bowl.Let the dough rest, uncovered, for 15 minutes.Combine 1/3 cup of oil and 1 cup of warm water in a medium bowl. Dip both of your hands in this "no stick" mixture, and rub your hands together to coat. This will prevent the dough from sticking to your hands, and it will also hydrate the dough as you assemble.Divide the dough into 12 balls - each ball measuring about a 1/4 cup. Keep the dough balls covered with a damp towel, so they don't dry out. With one dough ball in the palm of your hand, use your thumb of the opposite hand to create an indentation in the center. Pinch the sides to create a well for the cheese (the dough should look like half of a coconut shell). Fill the well with 2 tablespoons of cheese. Pinch the dough around the cheese filling to enclose (it's okay if some cheese is poking out).Then, gently flatten the dough to create to a 3 inch to 3 1/2 inch disk. Dip your hands in the "no stick" mixture (oil and water) as needed to prevent the dough from sticking. Repeat the process with remaining dough until all of the cheese pupusas are assembled.Heat a griddle over medium heat, and grease it with grapeseed oil. Place 4 to 6 cheese pupusas down on the griddle, and cook for 3 to 4 minutes per side until the center slightly puffs up and the pupusa is browned in spots.Place the cheese pupusas in the oven, set at 300°F, to keep them warm.
  • FINAL STEPS: Heat your gas grill on medium-high heat, and let it heat up for 10 minutes. Pull the Fullblood Wagyu top round steak from the marinade, and let it drain off. Grill the marinated steak for 3 minutes on each side for a medium-rare finish.Let the steak rest for 10 minutes, and then cut the steak into thin strips against the grain. Then, cut the large strips into bite-size pieces. Place the cheese pupusas on a large platter. Place pieces of grilled Fullblood Wagyu steak on top of each pupusa.Top with the tropical salsa, serve, and enjoy!

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of steak: Flank, skirt, and hanger steaks are all good choices for fajitas, as they are thin and flavorful. If you are using a thicker cut of steak, such as a ribeye or strip steak, you will need to slice it against the grain before cooking.
  • Marinate the steak: Marinating the steak in a flavorful mixture of spices and liquids will help to tenderize it and add flavor. You can use a simple marinade made with olive oil, garlic, and cumin, or you can get more creative with your ingredients.
  • Cook the steak over high heat: Fajitas are best cooked over high heat so that the steak gets a nice char on the outside while remaining tender on the inside. You can cook the steak in a grill pan, on a griddle, or even in a regular frying pan.
  • Slice the steak against the grain: Once the steak is cooked, slice it against the grain to make it easier to chew. This will help to break down the tough fibers in the steak and make it more tender.
  • Serve the steak with your favorite toppings: Fajitas are traditionally served with tortillas, salsa, guacamole, and sour cream. You can also add other toppings, such as shredded cheese, diced onions, or chopped cilantro.

Conclusion:

Fajitas are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner or a casual party. By following these tips, you can make sure that your fajitas are flavorful and tender every time. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy meal, give fajitas a try!
