Categories     Main Course

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 pound flank steak
⅓ cup olive oil
3 teaspoons minced garlic
2 teaspoons dried oregano (or 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh oregano)
1 teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
juice of ½ lemon (plus additional wedges for squeezing)
4 white or wheat pitas
½ red onion (thinly sliced)
1 tomato (thinly sliced)
romaine lettuce
1 medium cucumber + ½ teaspoon salt (peeled and sliced )
2 cups cold plain Greek yogurt
4 teaspoons minced garlic
⅓ cup chopped dill (fresh or frozen, (may sub 2 tablespoons dried dill))
1 ½ tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
½ teaspoon salt (or to taste)
⅛ teaspoon black pepper (or to taste)

Steps:

  • Place steak, olive oil, garlic, oregano, salt, pepper, and juice from 1/2 lemon in a large resealable bag. Press excess air out and seal bag. Refrigerate for 1-8 hours.
  • Spread cucumber slices out on a paper towel. Sprinkle generously with salt on both sides and allow to rest for 5 minutes. Wrap cucumber slices in paper towels, squeeze excess liquid out, and transfer to a food processor or blender.
  • Add remaining sauce ingredients to blender and pulse until smooth and creamy. Cover and chill until ready to use.
  • Preheat grill, grill pan, or cast iron skillet, to medium-high heat. Use tongs to transfer steak to grill and discard excess marinade. Cook steak for 6-8 minutes on each side until desired doneness (I recommend leaving just a hint of pink in the center for super juicy, tender meat with lots of flavor!)
  • Transfer steak to a cutting board and allow meat to rest for a few minutes before slicing very thinly across the grain.
  • Assemble gyros with lettuce, sliced onions and cucumbers, and steak. Drizzle with tzatziki sauce, top with black pepper and fresh squeezed lemon and serve immediately.

1 cucumber - peeled, seeded, and minced
1 cup sour cream
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon lemon zest
salt to taste
2 tablespoons olive oil
½ cup minced onion
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup tomato-based chili sauce
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper
2 pounds swordfish steaks, cut 1 1/2-inches thick
2 teaspoons olive oil

Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Stir in the onion and garlic; cook and stir until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Pour in the chili sauce, vinegar, and Worcestershire sauce. Bring to a simmer and cook 5 minutes to blend the flavors. Season with black pepper, and remove from the heat.
  • Brush the swordfish steaks on all sides with the 2 teaspoons of olive oil. Cook on the preheated grill until the fish is no longer translucent in the center, and easily flakes with a fork, about 3 minutes per side. Baste with the chili sauce while grilling. Serve the swordfish with lemon slices and the cucumber sauce.

SWEET AND SALTY GRILLED STEAK WITH CUCUMBER SALAD



Sweet and Salty Grilled Steak With Cucumber Salad image

The marinade on this steak is inspired by a classic Vietnamese dipping sauce called nuoc cham. Since it consists mostly of pantry staples - Asian fish sauce, brown sugar and garlic - all you need to pick up on the way home are some fresh limes and jalapeño. Nuoc cham works as a salad dressing, too. Here we drizzle it on crisp cucumbers and radishes, but sliced ripe tomatoes work just as well. You could serve it as it is with the salad on the side, or put everything on top of a bed of rice noodles or rice for a more substantial meal.

Categories     dinner, easy, weeknight, steaks and chops, main course

Time 25m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/2 cup fish sauce
1 tablespoon packed lime zest
1/3 cup fresh lime juice (from about 3 limes)
2 tablespoons dark brown sugar
2 garlic cloves, grated or minced
1 large jalapeño, seeds and veins removed if desired, minced
1 flank steak, about 1 1/2 pounds
1 small seedless English cucumber, thinly sliced
1 large bunch of radishes, thinly sliced
4 scallions, thinly sliced
1 teaspoon vegetable, peanut or olive oil (optional)
Cooked rice noodles or rice, for serving (optional)
Sesame seeds or crushed roasted peanuts, for serving (optional)
Fresh mint leaves or cilantro, for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • In a small bowl, combine the fish sauce, lime zest, lime juice, brown sugar, garlic and jalapeño. Pour 1/2 of the mixture over the flank steak and let marinate at room temperature for at least 30 minutes (or refrigerate for up to 24 hours). Let meat come to room temperature before cooking if necessary.
  • Combine the cucumber, radishes and scallions. Pour in just enough of the marinade sauce to coat.
  • Light the grill or heat the broiler to high. Pat steak dry with paper towels.
  • If grilling, cook until done to taste, about 3 minutes per side for rare. If broiling, heat a 10-inch skillet over high heat for 5 minutes. Add oil to pan and sear the meat for 2 minutes. Flip meat and immediately transfer pan directly to top shelf of oven and broil for 2 to 3 minutes for rare, or longer for more well-done meat. Transfer steak to a cutting board and let rest for 10 minutes covered in foil.
  • Thinly slice steak and serve over cooked rice noodles or rice if desired, and top with the cucumber salad. Garnish with sesame seeds and plenty of herbs if using and serve with remaining marinade as a sauce.
