THAI-STYLE MARINATED FLANK STEAK AND HERB SALAD RECIPE

Steps:

• Combine water and sugar in a small saucepan and heat over medium heat until completely dissolved. Transfer to a small bowl, add fish sauce, lime juice, garlic, and chile powder and stir to combine. Transfer half to a small container and reserve until step 4. Add oil to remaining half and whisk to combine. Place flank steak inside a gallon-sized zipper-lock bag with marinade. Press out air, seal bag, and allow meat to marinate, turning occasionally, for at least 1 hour and up to 12.
• Remove steak from marinade and pat dry with paper towels. Light one chimney full of charcoal and wait until they're covered in grey ash. Spread evenly over 1/2 of grate, leaving other half empty. Put cooking grate in place, cover, and allow grill to preheat for 5 minutes. Clean and oil grilling grate , then place flank steak over hot side of grill, cook until well charred, about 3 minutes. Flip steak and continue to cook until second side is well charred, about 3 minutes longer. Transfer steak to cooler side of grill, cover, and cook until center of steak registers 125°F (52°C) on an instant-read thermometer for medium-rare, or 135°F (57°C) for medium, about 5 minutes longer. Transfer to a cutting board, tent with foil, and allow steak to rest for at least 5 minutes. Proceed to step 4.
• Alternatively, to finish indoors: Heat 2 tablespoons vegetable or canola oil in a large stainless steel or cast iron skillet over high heat until shimmering. Add steak and cook, turning frequently, until an instant-read thermometer registers 125°F for medium-rare or 135°F for medium, reducing heat as necessary if steak smokes excessively or starts to burn. Transfer to a wire rack set in a rimmed baking sheet and allow to rest 5 to 10 minutes.
• Thinly slice beef against the grain and transfer to a large bowl. Add herbs, shallots, bean sprouts, and reserved marinade, and toss to combine. Serve immediately.

GRILLED RIB EYE STEAKS AND TOMATOES WITH MINT-THAI BASIL SLATHER AND 8 SPICED HOME FRIES

Steps:

• Prepare a hot, clean, oiled grill. In a saucepan, heat the oil on medium heat. Add the garlic and ginger and fry briefly. Add the herbs and zest. Pull off of the heat. Dissolve sugar with lemon juice and mix in mustard. Whisk in with herb mix. Season the steaks and tomatoes and grill on both sides, about 8 to 10 minutes, (tomatoes will take about 5 minutes). Slather the steak and tomatoes with the herb mixture frequently. Let steaks rest 5 minutes before serving.
• Prepare a fryer on medium-high heat. Drain potatoes well and pat dry. Blanch the potatoes in the oil until lightly colored. Set aside, un-seasoned, on paper towels. Mix all the spices and salt together. Raise the oil temperature to high and fry the potatoes again until golden, brown and delicious. Season with salt immediately.
• Note: There will be leftover seasoned salt. Store in air-tight container and use it on any grilled items.
• PLATING On large plates, lay a bed of salad. Place a mound of fries and lean steak against it. Garnish with tomato half and mint/basil sprigs.

THAI-STYLE HALIBUT WITH COCONUT-CURRY BROTH

Steps:

• In a large saute pan, heat the oil over moderate heat. Add the shallots and cook, stirring occasionally, until beginning to brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the curry paste and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the chicken broth, coconut milk, 1/2 teaspoon salt and simmer until reduced to 2 cups, about 5 minutes.
• Season the halibut with 1/4 teaspoon salt. Arrange the fish in the pan and gently shake the pan so the fish is coated with the sauce. Cover and cook until the fish flakes easily with a fork, about 7 minutes.
• Steam or microwave the baby spinach for 2 minutes.
• Arrange a pile of steamed spinach in the bottom of 4 soup plates. Top with the fish fillets. Stir the cilantro, scallions, and lime juice into the sauce and season, to taste, with salt and pepper. Ladle the sauce over the fish and serve with rice.

Steps:

• Rinse and pat the meat dry. Place in a sealable plastic bag or small glass dish.

Add the remaining 2 tablespoons lime juice to the bag. Seal tightly, and marinate meat in refrigerator at least 4 hours or overnight, turning occasionally. Reserve the rest of the mixture refrigerated, to dress the salad.
• Spray grill or grill pan with cooking spray and preheat. Grill steak until medium-rare, about 5 minutes per side, depending on desired doneness. Let rest until room temperature then slice thinly against the grain.
• Combine lettuce, sliced shallot, cilantro, basil and beef in a salad bowl, reserving a few shallots for garnish. Add the reserved dressing and toss to coat. Divide salad among 4 plates and garnish with reserved sliced shallots.
