SKIRT STEAK WITH SALSA VERDE SALAD



Skirt Steak With Salsa Verde Salad image

Salsa verde made with scallions, mint, parsley, capers and garlic becomes both the marinade for the steak and the dressing for the greens in this summery dinner salad. For extra smoky flavor, try grilling the romaine hearts (drizzle with olive oil and grill, cut side down, until lightly charred). Or, if you love bitter greens, substitute roughly chopped escarole leaves for the romaine.

Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 1/2 pounds skirt steak
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 cup red-wine vinegar
1/4 cup thinly sliced scallions (about 2)
2 tablespoons capers, drained and roughly chopped
1 tablespoon minced garlic (about 2 large cloves)
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more to taste
1/2 teaspoon black pepper, plus more to taste
2 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint
1/4 cup toasted pine nuts
2 romaine hearts
1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese (about 3 ounces)

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.

ROMAINE AND CELERY WITH SALSA VERDE DRESSING



Romaine and Celery with Salsa Verde Dressing image

This is a great, lighter alternative to a Caesar salad-it hits all the same taste notes without the heavy creamy dressing. Don't be afraid of the anchovies in the Salsa Verde. The strong flavor melts away and you're left with a subtle complexity. If you don't say anything, no one will ever know that they're in there. Celery is another of those often-underappreciated vegetables that is worth highlighting, and this salad does just that.

Yield Serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 heads romaine lettuce, tough outer leaves discarded and the rest torn into bite-size pieces
1/2 bunch celery, thinly sliced, leaves included
1 cup Garlic Croutons (page 119)
1/4 cup Salsa Verde (recipe follows)
1/4 cup salted capers, soaked in warm water for 10 minutes and drained
1 cup fresh parsley leaves
3/4 cup olive oil
Juice from 1 lemon
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
2 anchovy fillets packed in oil
2 teaspoons salt
(makes 1 cup)

Steps:

  • Combine the romaine, celery, and croutons in a large mixing bowl. Dress with the salsa verde, making sure to lightly toss the greens but thoroughly incorporate the dressing.
  • Combine the capers, parsley, olive oil, lemon juice, red pepper flakes, anchovies, and salt in a blender. Blend on low speed just until well chopped but still somewhat coarse.
