HOW TO MAKE HOMEMADE MARINADES

Steps:

• Whisk all of the ingredients together in a bowl or shake it up in a lidded container. Pour over 1 1/2 to 2 pounds of meat and let it sit for at least 3 hours up to 18 hours before cooking.

SKIRT STEAK WITH BOK CHOY

Steps:

• Put the skirt steak into a 1-gallon resealable plastic bag. Whisk together the garlic, soy sauce, brown sugar, rice wine vinegar, ginger, sesame oil, chili flakes and scallion whites in a small bowl. Pour two-thirds of the marinade over the steak, reserving the remaining marinade. Seal the bag, removing as much air as possible. Set aside and let marinate for at least 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, whisk together the mayonnaise and sriracha in another small bowl.
• Heat 2 tablespoons each of olive oil and butter in a large cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the steak from the marinade and sear on each side until cooked to the desired temperature, 3 to 4 minutes per side for medium rare. Remove the steak to a cutting board to rest while you cook the vegetables.
• Add the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and 1/2 tablespoon butter to the skillet. Add the bok choy, cut side-down, and sprinkle the mushrooms around the skillet. Allow to brown and cook for 2 to 3 minutes. Flip the bok choy, whisk the reserved marinade to combine and pour into the skillet and let reduce slightly. Remove from the heat.
• Slice the steak against the grain. Transfer the bok choy to a platter with any sauce that is in the skillet, top with the shiitake mushrooms, arrange the sliced steak along the edges, and garnish with the reserved scallion greens. Serve with the sriracha mayo.

BIG STEAK SALAD

Steps:

• For the dressing/marinade: Combine the oil, both vinegars, lime juice, soy, Worcestershire, chili oil, sugar, ginger, garlic, salt and pepper in a mason jar with the lid. Shake vigorously to combine; taste and adjust seasonings to taste.
• Place the steak in a plastic zipper bag. Pour in half the dressing/marinade and seal. Marinade for 5 to 10 minutes.
• For the onion strings: Slice the onions very thin. Place in a baking dish and cover with the buttermilk and soak. Combine the flour, salt, cayenne and black pepper and set aside.
• Heat the oil to 375 degrees in a large pot. Grab a handful of onions, throw into the flour mixture, tap to shake off excess and plunge into the hot oil. Fry for a few minutes and remove to a paper-towel-lined plate as soon as they are golden brown. Repeat until onions are gone.
• Grill (or saute) the steak over medium-high heat until medium-rare, about 2 minutes on each side. Remove from the heat and allow to rest. Slice the steak against the grain in thin slices.
• For the salad: In a large bowl, add the lettuce mix, blue cheese and tomatoes. Add a little of the remaining dressing/marinade and toss to combine. Add more if needed.
• Heap the salad on a plate, making sure to get plenty of blue cheese and tomatoes on each plate. Add half a steak to the top of each plate, then top the steak with onion strings.
• Serve immediately. Yum!
