Grilled Steak With Peas And Eggplant Recipes

FLANK STEAK WITH BALSAMIC ROASTED EGGPLANT

Steps:

• Put a rimmed baking sheet in the oven and preheat to 450˚ F. Combine the eggplant, red onion, 1/4 cup olive oil, 3/4 teaspoon salt and the red pepper flakes in a large bowl and toss to coat. Spread out on the preheated pan and roast, tossing once, until browned around the edges and tender, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove from the oven and drizzle with the balsamic vinegar; toss gently.
• Meanwhile, combine the sun-dried tomatoes, garlic, lemon juice, 2 tablespoons water and a pinch of salt in a food processor or mini chopper. Pulse until mostly smooth (it should be the consistency of a thick pesto; if it's too thick, add more water 1 teaspoon at a time). Adjust the seasoning, if needed.
• Season the steak all over with salt, pepper and the herbes de Provence. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat; add the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and heat until shimmering. Add the steak and cook until well browned, about 4 minutes. Flip and cook until browned on the other side, 4 to 5 minutes for medium rare. Transfer to a cutting board to rest 5 minutes.
• Toss the basil with the eggplant; season with salt, if needed. Divide among plates. Slice the steak, divide among the plates and top with the sun-dried tomato mixture.

GRILLED SKIRT STEAK WITH SALSA VERDE AND FRESH CHICK PEA SALAD

Steps:

• Remove the skirt steak from the refrigerator and allow it to come to room temperature.
• For the salsa verde:
• To a medium bowl, add the garlic, shallot, anchovy, capers, red chili flakes, chile, lemon zest (saved juice for later), mint and parsley. Save the lemon juice just until serving - this will help prevent the herbs from turning a dark unappealing color. Add the extra-virgin olive oil and freshly cracked black pepper, to taste. Set aside. Do not salt now. Allow the flavors to meld and come together.
• Preheat the grill over high heat.
• Season the skirt steak with kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper and drizzle both sides with extra-virgin olive oil. Put on the grill and cook for about 2 to 3 minutes for the first side, then flip. Continue to cook for another 1 1/2 to 2 minutes for medium-rare, remembering that the second side doesn't take as long as the first. Remove the steak from the grill to a cutting board. Let rest prior to slicing.
• For the chick pea salad:
• Put a large pot of water over high heat and bring to a boil. Once at a boil, season with salt and add the chickpeas. Allow to blanch for about 10 to 15 seconds. Add the shallots and chile to a medium bowl. Drain the chick peas and add to the shallots and chile. Season with salt and pepper, to taste, and drizzle with extra-virgin olive oil. Toss in the parsley and mint leaves. Taste and season, if needed.
• When ready to serve, add the lemon juice to the salsa verde. Taste and season with salt and pepper, only if necessary.
• Slice the skirt steak in half and then against the grain and mound the slices onto each serving plate. Top with some of the salsa verde and the chick pea salad.

EGGPLANT STEAKS

Steps:

• In a small bowl whisk together the Worcestershire, steak sauce, olive oil, honey, and apple cider vinegar. Season with salt and pepper.
• Pat your eggplant dry with paper towels. With a pastry brush apply the sauce to both sides of the eggplant. Place eggplant rounds onto a sheet tray fitted with a rack. Place the tray under the broiler for until eggplant is nicely browned, approximately 2 minutes. Turn slices over and place back under broiler to brown the other side. Generously sprinkle freshly grated Parmesan over all of the slices. Place back under the broiler for 1 minute to nicely brown the cheese. Serve plain or sprinkle with freshly chopped herbs.

GRILLED STEAK WITH PEAS AND EGGPLANT RECIPE

Steps:

• Whisk ricotta, lemon zest, 3 Tbsp. oil, and 3/4 tsp. kosher salt in a large bowl until smooth and fluffy; set aside.
• Prepare a grill for medium-high heat; oil grate. Season steaks on all sides with 1 1/2 tsp. kosher salt and 1 tsp. pepper. Grill steaks until lightly charred and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 120°F, 5-7 minutes per side for medium-rare. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest 10 minutes before slicing against the grain.
• While steak rests, toss eggplant with 2 Tbsp. oil; season with 1/2 tsp. kosher salt and 1/2 tsp. pepper. Grill eggplant, turning often, until skin is lightly charred and flesh is softened, about 5 minutes.
• Grill peas in a grill basket or on a wire rack set over grill alongside eggplant, turning often, until lightly charred and softened, about 3 minutes.
• Spread reserved ricotta on a platter. Arrange eggplant and peas over. Drizzle with oil; season with sea salt and pepper. Top with mint and chile (if using). Serve with lemon wedges alongside.
• Transfer steak to another platter. Drizzle with oil, then season with sea salt and pepper. Serve alongside vegetables.

GRILLED SKIRT STEAK WITH SMOKY EGGPLANT CHUTNEY

Steps:

• Build a fire in your grill; when the coals are covered with gray ash and the temperature is medium-hot (you can hold your hand 5 inches above the coals for 3 to 4 seconds) you are ready to cook. (For a gas grill, turn all burners to high, lower cover and heat for 15 minutes, then turn burners to medium-high.)
• Meanwhile, heat the oil in a medium sauté pan over medium heat until hot but not smoking. Add the ginger and garlic and sauté, stirring occasionally, for 1 minute. Add the coriander, cumin, mustard, chile powder and cinnamon and cook, stirring, until the spices just begin to darken and you can smell their aromas strongly, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat.
• When the spice mixture has cooled slightly, sprinkle the steak generously with salt, then rub all over with the mixture, pressing gently so it adheres.
• Put the steak on the grill directly over the heat and cook for 4 to 5 minutes a side for medium-rare. Remove from heat, slice thinly against the grain and serve, accompanied by smoky eggplant chutney if desired.

GRILLED STEAK WITH EGGPLANT CAPONATA RECIPE - (4.8/5)

Steps:

• Preheat a charcoal grill. Place eggplant in a colander and sprinkle liberally with salt. Arrange steaks on a platter. Brush steaks with olive oil and season generously all over with salt. Set steaks aside to rest. Make Caponata: Heat oil in a large sauté pan over medium-high heat. Add garlic and sauté until just golden, 1 minute. Add onions and bay leaf, and sauté until onions are translucent, about 4 minutes. Add eggplant to pan in a single layer and sauté until browned and tender, about 15 minutes. If eggplant doesn't fit easily in one layer, cook in batches. Stir olives, currants, pine nuts and balsamic vinegar into pan. Sauté until vinegar cooks off and caponata is almost dry, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Set aside. Cook Steaks: Once charcoals are white-hot, lay steaks onto grate directly over heat and grill until medium rare, 4-5 minutes per side. Transfer meat to a cutting board and let rest at least 5 minutes before slicing across the grain. To Serve: Divide caponata among 4 plates and place steak on top or alongside. Season with salt and pepper and garnish with a drizzle of olive oil.
