Chili Rubbed Steak With Black Bean Salad Recipes

FLANK STEAK WITH BLACK BEANS AND SLAW

Steps:

• Sprinkle the steak with 2 teaspoons chili powder and 3/4 teaspoon salt. Heat 1/2 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the steak; cook about 5 minutes per side for medium rare. Meanwhile, make the slaw: Toss the cabbage with the lime juice, mayonnaise, 2 tablespoons cilantro, the remaining 1 teaspoon chili powder, and salt to taste. Chill until ready to serve. Transfer the steak to a cutting board and let rest 10 minutes. Meanwhile, heat the remaining 1/2 tablespoon olive oil in the same skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and tomato paste and cook, stirring, until the onion is soft, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the chicken broth and beans and bring to a simmer. Coarsely mash the beans with a spoon; continue cooking until slightly thickened, about 4 more minutes. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons cilantro and salt to taste. Slice the steak; top with the black beans and serve with the slaw.

CHILI-RUBBED SKIRT STEAK

Steps:

• Heat the broiler with the rack 4 inches from the heat. In a small bowl, combine the chili powder, coriander, sugar, oregano, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Coat the steaks evenly on both sides with the oil, then the spice mixture, patting to help the mixture adhere.
• Place the steaks on a rimmed baking sheet or broiler pan. Broil the steaks, without turning, until medium-rare, 5 to 8 minutes, depending on the thickness. Transfer the steaks to a large platter and cover with aluminum foil; let rest for 10 minutes.
• Remove foil and divide steaks among 4 serving plates. Drizzle with any accumulated juices from the platter.
• In a medium bowl, place the sour cream, mayonnaise, lemon juice, and chili powder; season with salt and pepper. Whisk to combine. Remove the dark outer leaves from each head of romaine, leaving the heart; place leaves in a plastic bag lined with a paper towel and refrigerate for another use. Slice the hearts in half lengthwise. Place one half on each plate; top with the dressing. Sprinkle with the scallions and serve.
