Steak Fajita Taco Salad W Chipotle Cilantro Lime Ranch Recipes

FAJITA TACO SALAD

Steps:

• Make Chipotle Ranch Dressing. In a mixing bowl, combine the ingredients - the Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, chipotle pepper/sauce, cilantro, lime juice, and seasonings. Whisk and then add water to thin as needed. Store in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
• Prep salad ingredients. Prep the remaining ingredients ahead of time. Chop fresh veggies, rinse beans, etc. Set aside.
• Prep marinade. In a mixing bowl, combine the Mexican Marinade ingredients - the olive oil, Worcestershire sauce, chili powder, ground cumin, garlic powder, red pepper flakes, salt, pepper, sugar, and lime juice. Whisk together.
• Marinate steak. Place the steak in a freezer bag and then add the marinade. Massage with your fingers and place in the refrigerator for at least an hour.
• Grill steak and corn. Light a grill to 400 degrees. Set your meat on the counter to take the chill off - this should be done about 30 minutes before grilling. When grill is hot, place the steak on the grill and sear. Flip as needed and cook until the meat is still pink in the middle (personal preference), about 140 degrees.
• Grill corn until slightly charred. Be careful to avoid over-cooking the corn - it doesn't take too long.
• Slice. Let meat rest on the counter for about 10 minutes. Slice against the grain with a sharp knife. Slice the corn off the cobs.
• Serve. Add all salad ingredients to bowls and top with the Chipotle Ranch Dressing. Enjoy!

STEAK FAJITA SALAD

Steps:

• To make the cilantro lime dressing, combine cilantro, sour cream, mayonnaise, garlic, lime juice and salt in the bowl of a food processor. With the motor running, add olive oil and vinegar in a slow stream until emulsified; set aside. To make the steak, whisk together olive oil, garlic, lime juice, cumin, chili powder, oregano and onion powder in a small bowl; season with salt and pepper, to taste. In a gallon size Ziploc bag or large bowl, combine steak and marinade; marinate for at least 30 minutes, turning the bag occasionally. Drain the steak from the marinade, discarding the marinade. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a grill pan over medium high heat. Working in batches, cook steak, flipping once, to preferred temperature, about 3-4 minutes per side for medium rare. Remove from heat and let rest for 10 minutes before thinly slicing against the grain. Add onion to the skillet, and cook, stirring often, until onions have become translucent and slightly caramelized, about 7-8 minutes; set aside. Heat remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in the skillet. Add bell peppers, and cook, stirring often, until soft and slightly caramelized, about 8-10 minutes; set aside. To assemble the salad, place romaine lettuce in a large bowl; top with arranged rows of onion, peppers, steak and avocado. Serve immediately with cilantro lime dressing.

FAJITA STEAK SALAD WITH CILANTRO-LIME VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• For the steak: Set a large resealable plastic bag in a medium saucepan and pull the edges of the bag over the sides of the pan for easy access to the bag. Add the vegetable oil, Worcestershire sauce, chili powder, oregano, paprika, lemon juice, garlic, scallion, 1 teaspoon salt and 1 teaspoon pepper to the bag and whisk to combine. Add the London broil and seal the bag tightly. Remove the bag from the pan and use your hands to rotate the meat, coating thoroughly in the marinade. Lay the bag flat on a cutting board and marinate at room temperature for 1 hour, flipping the bag after 30 minutes. (The seasoned meat can also be stored in the refrigerator overnight. Let rest at room temperature for 20 minutes before cooking.)
• Remove the steak from the bag and discard any stuck-on garlic cloves and scallion. Set a grill pan over high heat until just starting to smoke, about 3 minutes. (Or prepare a grill for high heat.) Lightly oil the pan. Place the steak in the center of the pan and grill until the bottom is nicely charred, about 5 minutes. Flip the steak and continue grilling until an insert-read thermometer inserted sideways into the center of the steak registers between 120 and 125 degrees F, 3 to 5 minutes more. Transfer the steak to the cutting board and rest for 10 minutes.
• For the vinaigrette: While the steak rests, whisk the cilantro, olive oil, cumin, lime zest and juice, garlic, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper together in a large bowl. Pour half of the vinaigrette into a small bowl and set aside.
• For the salad: Add the bell peppers and onions to the large bowl of vinaigrette and toss to thoroughly coat. Arrange the onions cut-side down and the peppers skin--side down on the same grill pan over high heat and grill until deeply charred, about 4 minutes. Transfer to the same cutting board as the steak.
• Add the remaining vinaigrette back to the large bowl. Add grated cheese and salad greens and toss to combine. Arrange the salad mixture on a large serving platter. Top with the grilled peppers.
• Cut the roots off the onion halves and slice the onions into thin wedges. Arrange on the salad. Thinly slice the rested steak against the grain and arrange in the center of the salad. Arrange the avocado slices around the edge of the platter, then sprinkle tortilla strips over the top of the salad.

STEAK FAJITA TACO SALAD W/ CHIPOTLE CILANTRO LIME RANCH

Steps:

• In a small bowl, whisk together the ingredients for the marinade.
• Pour the marinade in a shallow dish with a lid or a gallon size storage bag; add the steak and refrigerate for at least two hours but no more than 24.
• Remove the steak from the marinade, pat dry, and rest at room temperature.
• Meanwhile, prepare the chipotle cilantro lime ranch by using a blender or an immersion blender to process all the ingredients aside from the chives until smooth and combined. Stir in the chives and set aside.
• To prepare the tortilla strips heat the vegetable/canola oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, fry the tortilla strips for 1-2 minutes until golden brown and crispy. Transfer to a paper towel-lined surface using a slotted spoon or tongs.
• Heat a large cast-iron skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Add one tablespoon of olive oil and once hot add the steak. Cook for five minutes then flip and cook another five minutes. Remove from heat and gently tent with tinfoil.
• Add another tablespoon of olive oil to the pan if needed and cook the bell pepper and onion for five minutes until slightly softened and browned.
• Thinly slice the steak against the grain.
• To assemble: Add the romaine to a large bowl and top with the fajita veggies, sliced steak, sliced avocado, tortilla strips, pico de gallo, and cotija. Drizzle on the chipotle cilantro lime ranch and toss to combine.

Steps:

• Place the avocado, cilantro, lime juice, water, and salt in a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth and set aside.
• In a small bowl, combine the chili powder, cumin, oregano, salt, pepper, garlic, and lime juice.
• Rub the chili lime rub all over the steak in a thin, even layer.
• Grill the steak on either a grill or stove-top grill pan. To get the "X" grill marks, sear the steak for 1 minute, then adjust about 90 degrees and grill for another minute. Flip the steak when you've achieved desired grill marks and repeat the process on the other side.
• Allow the steak to rest for 5-10 minutes once taken off the heat.
• Slice the steak thinly, against the grain of the meat.
• Prepare the tacos by topping the corn tortillas with a few strips of meat, salsa, the avocado cilantro lime sauce, and cilantro, and serve.

STEAK FAJITAS

Steps:

• Combine 2 teaspoons ground cumin, the chile powder and 1 teaspoon salt. With a sharp knife, cut shallow crosshatched incisions across top and bottom surfaces of steak. Rub spice mix all over surface of steak. (It's best to wear gloves as the chile powder is hot.) Place steak in a resealable freezer bag.
• In a small bowl, whisk together lime juice and zest, 1/4 cup olive oil, the Worcestershire sauce and half the garlic. Reserve 2 tablespoons of the marinade and pour the rest into the bag with steak. Seal and move steak around in bag to coat thoroughly. Place on a sheet pan and refrigerate for at least 4 hours and up to 24 hours. Massage bag periodically to redistribute marinade. Refrigerate reserved marinade if cooking the next day.
• Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large, heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Add onions and cook, stirring, until they soften and begin to color, 4 to 5 minutes. Stir in bell peppers and chile. Cook, stirring, until peppers begin to soften, about 3 minutes.
• Lower heat to medium, add remaining garlic and cumin, and salt to taste. Cook, stirring often, until peppers are nicely seared, softened and beginning to caramelize, 5 to 8 minutes.
• Pour in reserved 2 tablespoons marinade and scrape bottom of pan with a wooden spoon to deglaze. Stir in half the cilantro. Taste and adjust seasoning. Remove from heat but keep warm.
• Wrap tortillas in foil and warm in a low oven, or wrap in a towel and warm in a steamer or in the microwave.
• Heat a large cast iron skillet over medium-high heat, or prepare a medium-hot grill. Remove meat from marinade and discard marinade. Pat meat dry with paper towels. If using a skillet, heat remaining 1 tablespoon oil in skillet. (If your skillet is not large enough for the steak, cut it in half and cook in batches.) Cook for 3 to 4 minutes per side. Meat should be medium rare. Remove to a cutting board, cover with foil and let sit for 10 minutes. Cut across the grain into 1/2- to 3/4-inch wide strips.
• Arrange lettuce on a platter, then place steak next to lettuce. Tip juices from cutting board over meat and sprinkle with remaining cilantro. Serve vegetables on the same platter or separately, along with warm tortillas, salsa and crumbled queso fresco.
