The flavor in this dish just doesn’t stop. The sharp, slightly herby marinade tenderizes and flavors the meat and makes a great bridge to the chimichurri.
Grilled Steak with Avocado and Red Onion Salad
You can eat the steak, salad, and tortillas separately, or wrap them up fajita-style, maybe with a side of black beans.
Korean-Style Grilled Hanger Steak with a Pickle Bar
Hanger steak is very flavorful but can be a little chewy; for maximum tenderness, don’t cook it past medium-rare, and slice it against the grain.
Grilled Flank Steak, Onion, and Peppers
Steve Freidkin, the chef at Texaz Grill in Phoenix, shared this technique with us for instantly “marinating” meat. By making small slashes in a diamond pattern over both sides of the steak, the flavors of the lemon and spices sink right in.
Vietnamese Steak Noodle Salad
This dish requires some multitasking, but the benefits of creating something this delicious in only 30 minutes are well worth the hustle. If you’re entertaining friends, take a more leisurely approach and make the dressing, cook the noodles, and clean the herbs ahead; then at serving time, just cook the steak and combine the ingredients.
