GRILLED HOISIN BEEF



Grilled Hoisin Beef image

The (underrated) hoisin sauce is a thickened, fermented soy-sauce-like substance, flavored with chilies, garlic, vinegar, sugar, and, of course, exotic spices. It makes a great marinade. And unless you horribly overcook it, this skirt steak is juicy and tender.

Time 2h18m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 (1 pound) beef skirt steak
⅓ cup hoisin sauce
3 tablespoons Chinese vinegar (or sherry vinegar)
1 tablespoon soy sauce
2 teaspoons hot sauce
2 teaspoons sesame oil
1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger root
4 cloves garlic, finely minced
1 tablespoon packed brown sugar
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 green onion, light parts only, minced
Toasted sesame seeds

Steps:

  • Whisk hoisin sauce, vinegar, soy sauce, hot sauce, sesame oil, grated ginger, garlic, brown sugar, salt, and pepper together in a large mixing bowl.
  • Cut skirt steak crosswise into about 4 or 5 smaller pieces. Transfer steak into marinade and toss until all pieces are evenly coated. Cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate; marinate at least 2 hours and up to 12 hours.
  • Line a baking pan with paper towels. Transfer pieces of steak to the paper towels and mop off some of the marinade.
  • Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat and lightly oil the grate.
  • Transfer steak pieces to grill. Cook to medium rare or medium, 4 to 5 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read between 130 and 135 degrees F (about 54 degrees C). Thinner pieces might finish earlier. Transfer steak to a warm plate. Let rest for a few minutes.
  • Transfer steak to a warm serving platter and pour any accumulated juices over skirt steak. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and sliced green onions.

COCONUT CAULIFLOWER STEAKS WITH SPICY SAUCE



Coconut Cauliflower Steaks with Spicy Sauce image

Inspired by classic coconut shrimp, these mini cauliflower steaks are coated in a combination of shredded coconut and panko, which forms an irresistibly crunchy crust when fried. To prevent the coconut from burning, be sure to use unsweetened coconut for this recipe. The hot sauce-laced dip for the cauliflower is both cooling and spicy.

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 large cauliflower head (about 2 1/2 pounds), outer leaves removed
1 cup all-purpose flour
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 large eggs
1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
1 cup panko
Vegetable oil, for frying
1/4 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
1/4 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons to 1/4 cup habanero hot sauce with fruit
Lime wedges and cilantro leaves, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F.
  • Using a large knife, cut the cauliflower vertically through the core into 3/4-inch-thick steaks, then carefully cut the steaks in half through the core to form mini steaks (you should have 6 to 8 mini steaks). Reserve any remaining cauliflower for another use.
  • In a shallow dish, spread the flour and season with salt and pepper. In a medium bowl, beat the eggs with a pinch each of salt and pepper. In another shallow dish, mix the panko with the coconut and season well with salt and pepper.
  • Dredge one cauliflower steak in the flour, then dip in the egg, turning or using a spoon to coat. Finally, dredge in the panko mixture, pressing to help it adhere; transfer to a wax paper-lined baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining steaks.
  • In a large, deep skillet, heat 1/2 inch vegetable oil over medium-high heat until glistening. Working in batches, fry the cauliflower steaks over medium heat, turning once, until golden and crisp-tender, 6 to 8 minutes; adjust the heat as needed. Transfer to a wire rack set over a baking sheet and keep warm in the oven while you fry the remaining steaks.
  • Meanwhile, in a bowl, whisk the sour cream with the mayonnaise and habanero sauce; season with salt and pepper. Transfer the cauliflower steaks to a platter and serve with the sauce, lime wedges and cilantro leaves.
