Bavette Steak With Tahini Vegetable Salad Recipes

BAVETTE STEAK WITH TAHINI-VEGETABLE SALAD

Steps:

• Pull the steak out of the fridge 1 hour before cooking to come to room temperature. About 5 minutes before cooking, generously season steak all over with flaky sea salt (this helps the salt retain some crunch).
• Heat a cast-iron or other heavy-duty skillet over medium-high until hot enough that a drop of water will sizzle on contact. Add ghee to the skillet and let it melt.
• Add bavette steak and cook, flipping every 2 minutes, until medium-rare, about 8 minutes total, or until medium, about 10 minutes total. (Bavette steak has a tendency to puff up as it cooks, taking longer than the average steak to reach medium-rare. You'll want to reduce the cooking time if using flank steak.) Transfer steak to a cutting board and let rest for 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, make the salad: In a small bowl, whisk together tahini, lime zest and juice, olive oil, cold water and 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt until smooth. Taste and season with more salt, if needed.
• In a large bowl, toss together strawberries, rhubarb, cucumber, turnips and radishes. Add just enough dressing to coat, then taste and add more salt, if needed. Add the greens, mint and basil to the bowl and toss gently, adding more dressing and salt, if needed.
• Slice steak against the grain and serve with salad.

BARBECUED BAVETTE STEAK & TOMATO SALAD

Steps:

• Make the dressing by whisking the vinegar, oil, onion seeds and spring onions together, then set aside. Slice the tomatoes, then arrange over a large serving platter and lightly season with salt. Drizzle over most of the oil and set aside.
• Heat a barbecue or griddle pan to high and season the steak well. Cook for 2-3 mins on each side until charred but rare in the middle, then transfer to a warm plate to rest. Drizzle the remaining oil over the onions and grill until charred. Separate into rings and set aside.
• Slice the steak and arrange the tomatoes over it. Drizzle with any resting juices. Scatter over the artichokes and charred onions, then the feta and chives. To serve, drizzle over the dressing.

TAMARIND-MARINATED BAVETTE STEAK

Steps:

• Put the tamarind paste, soy and hot water into the smallest saucepan you have, and stir over a low heat to dissolve the tamarind. When it's as smooth as you think you can get it--the tamarind paste I use says it's without pits, but I do find the odd one, and I don't bother to get rid of them--remove to a bowl or jug, whisk in the oil and honey, and leave to cool. Do not use until it is cold.
• Put the bavette steak into a resealable freezer bag, pour in the cold marinade and squelch it about so that the thin steak is covered on both sides, then seal, lay on a plate and put in the fridge overnight or for 1 day.
• Bring it back to room temperature, prepare a large piece of kitchen foil, then heat a ridged griddle till very, very hot. Lift the steak out of its marinade, letting any excess (and there will be a lot) drip back into the bag and then slap the meat on the griddle and cook for 2 minutes a side.
• Immediately (I use tongs for all this) transfer the steak to the piece of foil and make a tightly sealed but baggy parcel, and let the meat rest, on a chopping board, or any surface that is not too cold, for 5 minutes. Then unwrap the foil, transfer the steak to a board, and carve in thin slices against the grain.

MARINATED BAVETTE STEAK

Steps:

• For the marinade, mix all the ingredients together in a bowl. Place the steaks in a shallow dish, pour marinade over to coat the meat completely. Cover, chill and leave to marinate overnight.
• Scrape the marinade off the steaks and rub each steak with a drop of sunflower oil. Heat a griddle pan until very hot, then rub the steaks with the reserved lemon half and cook with the rosemary sprig for 3-4 mins each side for medium-rare, 1 min longer if you prefer it cooked more. Rest for 5 mins before serving with mash or chips.

GRILLED STEAK, VEGETABLE, AND QUINOA SALAD WITH YOGURT-TAHINI DRESSING

Steps:

• Make the quinoa salad:
• Whisk oil, vinegar, honey, and salt in a large bowl. Add quinoa, lentils, dill, and oregano and stir to combine. Set aside.
• Make the yogurt dressing:
• Whisk yogurt, lemon juice, tahini, oil, salt, and 1 Tbsp. water in a small bowl. Set aside.
• Grill the vegetables and steak and assemble the salad:
• Prepare a grill or grill pan for medium-high heat. Brush fennel, tomatoes, and scallions with oil and season with 1/2 tsp. salt and 1/4 tsp. pepper. Grill, turning occasionally, until tender and charred in spots, 10-15 minutes; let cool. If using Halloumi cheese, brush with oil and grill, turning occasionally, until charred and warmed through, about 2 minutes per side.
• Meanwhile, rub steak with cumin, remaining 1/2 tsp. salt, and remaining 1/2 tsp. pepper. Grill until medium-rare, 5-7 minutes per side for flank steak, about 2 minutes per side for skirt steak. Let rest, then thinly slice against the grain.
• Transfer quinoa salad to a large platter. Top with grilled vegetables and steak. Season with additional salt and pepper and top with fennel fronds. Serve immediately with yogurt dressing alongside.
• Do Ahead
• The yogurt dressing can be chilled for up to 3 days.

PERFECT BAVETTE STEAK RECIPE

Steps:

• Allow your steaks to come to room temperature for 30 minutes before cooking. While it is not required, it helps the meat cook more evenly.
• Using a fork or knife, pierce the bavette steak. Tenderize the meat by piercing it every 1/2 inch or so.
• Marinate the bavette steak for up to 4 hours in the chimichurri. If you don't have time to marinate, serve with the chimichirru sauce instead. Marinating, on the other hand, results in more flavorful and tender meat.
• Coat the bavette steak in oil and season with kosher or sea salt.
• Heat the oil in a cast iron skillet or pan over high heat. Before adding the steak, make sure your pan is hot.
• Put the bavette steak in the pan. Do not move the steak so that it can caramelize.
• Cook for 3 minutes on each side, or until the steak reaches the desired level of doneness. Cooking temperatures are listed in the notes.
• Remove the bavette steak from the pan and set it aside for 5 minutes to rest. Place a piece of foil over the top to keep the heat in while it rests.
• Make sure to use a sharp knife when slicing your steak. Depending on your preference, cut into 1/4 to 1/2-inch slices.
• To ensure a more tender bite, cut the bavette steak against the grain. The meat's muscle fibers are referred to as the grain. Look for muscle fibers and cut the opposite way. By removing these muscle fibers, the meat becomes more tender rather than chewy or tough.
• Combine cilantro, Italian parsley, olive oil, rice wine vinegar, red wine vinegar, pressed garlic, crushed red pepper, salt, and pepper in a food processor.
• Process until everything is well combined.
• Set aside a third of the sauce to serve on top of the finished bavette steak or as a dipping sauce.
• Marinate the bavette steak for 2-4 hours (if time allows). The longer you marinate the meat, the more tender and flavorful it will be.

KALE SALAD WITH VEGETABLES AND TAHINI DRESSING

Steps:

• Combine kale, beans, carrots, and cabbage in a large bowl.
• Whisk together tahini, balsamic vinegar, water, and steak seasoning in a cup until smooth. Drizzle dressing over salad and sprinkle with pistachios.
