SKIRT STEAK WITH SPICY COCONUT DRESSING

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine chile, garlic, ginger, coconut cream, and lime juice. Season with salt and stir to combine. Stir in coconut and taste dressing: It should be fairly tangy, spicy, and salty to balance the mild iceberg. Dressing may seize up and seem very thick, but it will loosen up when tossed with the salad.
• Season steak on both sides with salt.
• Place a 10- or 12-inch skillet, preferably cast-iron, over medium-high heat. Add oil and when it shimmers, place steaks carefully into pan and cook, undisturbed, until browned on underside, 2-3 minutes. Turn and cook until browned on second side and medium-rare, about 2 minutes longer. Transfer steaks to a platter and let rest 5-10 minutes before cutting against the grain into 1/4-inch slices.
• Add lettuce and cilantro to bowl with dressing and toss to coat. Taste the lettuce and add more salt and/or lime juice if needed. Add avocado and toss gently to distribute. Serve steak and salad with lime wedges for squeezing over.

• To build the tacos, start with a handful of lettuce, followed by the bean salad, then top with the prawns. Sprinkle over the remaining coriander and serve.
