Grilled Steak With Feta And Tomato Salsa Recipes

GRILLED STEAK WITH FETA

Steps:

• In shallow glass or plastic dish or resealable food-storage plastic bag, mix all marinade ingredients. Pierce beef with fork several times on both sides. Add beef and onions to marinade; turn to coat with marinade. Cover dish or seal bag; refrigerate, turning beef occasionally, at least 8 hours but no longer than 24 hours.
• Heat gas or charcoal grill. Remove beef onions from marinade; reserve marinade. Place beef and onions on grill. Cover grill; cook over from medium heat 15 to 20 minutes for medium doneness, brushing occasionally with marinade and turning once. Discard any remaining marinade.
• Cut beef across grain into thin slices. Sprinkle beef with feta and parsley; serve with onion slices.

GRILLED STEAK TACOS WITH CHERRY TOMATO-AVOCADO SALSA

Steps:

• Prepare the steak: In a small bowl, mix together the salt, chile powder, coriander, cumin, garlic and lime zest. Rub mixture all over the steaks, cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or preferably overnight.
• Prepare the salsa: Light the grill or heat to medium-high (or heat the broiler). Grill onion, garlic and 1 jalapeño until tender and charred on all sides, 5 to 10 minutes (or place on a broiler pan and broil). Remove from heat until cool enough to handle, then roughly chop onions, peel garlic and remove seeds and stem from jalapeño.
• Transfer grilled onion, garlic and jalapeño to a blender or mini food processor. Halve the fresh jalapeño and seed it, if desired, then add it to the blender. Process to a chunky paste. Scrape into a serving bowl and toss with tomatoes, avocado, cilantro, lime juice and salt.
• Add more charcoal to the grill, if needed, and grill the steaks until done to taste, about 2 minutes per side for rare (or broil). Let meat rest on a cutting board covered with foil for at least 7 minutes. Meanwhile, grill or broil the tortillas until warm.
• To serve, slice the meat across the grain, and serve with the warm tortillas, radishes, lime wedges, salsa and crema. Let people assemble their own tacos at the table.

GRILLED RIB EYE STEAK ON FETA FARRO WITH GARDEN GOODIES AND GRILLED LEMON

Steps:

• For the compound butter: Combine the butter, parsley, scallions, lemon juice, salt and pepper in a small bowl and mash with a spoon to combine. Scrape onto a piece of parchment and form into a log. Roll up and twirl the ends to tightly seal and form a tight log about 3 inches long. Refrigerate until firm, at least 1 hour.
• For the dukkah seasoning: Toast the cumin and coriander in a small skillet over low heat until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Cool and crush in a spice grinder or with a mortar and pestle. Transfer to a small bowl and stir in the almonds, sesame seeds and salt. Set aside.
• For the farro: Bring a large pot of salted water to boil, as for pasta. Add the farro, then reduce the heat and simmer rapidly until just tender, about 30 minutes. Rinse to cool and drain well. Add to a serving bowl.
• Preheat a 2-burner grill pan or outdoor grill to medium to medium-high heat.
• For the steaks: Combine the brown sugar, paprika, salt and pepper in a small bowl. Rub all over the steaks on both sides. Place the steaks on the grill. Grill for 90 seconds, then give the steaks a 90-degree turn. Grill for another 90 seconds, then flip the steaks. Repeat the procedure on the second side, cooking the steaks 6 to 7 minutes total for medium-rare.
• Remove the steaks to a cutting board and let rest for 5 minutes. Unwrap the chilled butter and slice into 4 or 5 rounds. Place on the steaks to melt while they rest.
• Meanwhile, grill the scallions until tender, turning once, 2 to 3 minutes. Grill the lemon until charred on the cut sides, about 2 minutes. Chop the scallions and add to the bowl with the farro. Squeeze the lemon over the farro and add the tomatoes, cucumbers, Garlic Oil, cilantro, mint, feta and dukkah. Toss well and season with salt if needed. Mound the salad on a serving platter. Thinly slice the steaks against the grain and place on the salad. Serve immediately.
• Combine the garlic cloves, rosemary sprigs, thyme sprigs, bay leaf and oil in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer over the lowest heat and cook until the cloves are light golden and completely tender, about 30 minutes. Let cool. Remove the herbs and stir in the red pepper flakes.

Peel the garlic and remove the skins of the tomatoes. Transfer the vegetables to a food processor, add the cilantro and pulse until you have a chunky salsa. Add salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately.
