Sesame Crusted Beef And Spinach Salad Recipe 435

Steps:

• Trim fat from steak. Sprinkle steak with salt and pepper. Place steak on the unheated rack of a broiler pan. Broil 3 to 4 inches from the heat until almost desired doneness, turning once halfway through broiling time. Allow 11 to 13 minutes for medium-rare doneness (145 degrees F) or 16 to 18 minutes for medium doneness (160 degrees F). Brush mustard on top of the steak; sprinkle with half of the sesame seeds. Turn steak over; brush with the remaining mustard and sprinkle with the remaining sesame seeds. Broil about 4 minutes more or until sesame seeds are lightly browned, turning once halfway through broiling time. Divide spinach among four serving plates. Top with garbanzo beans and onion. Thinly slice steak across the grain; arrange on salads. Top with apricots. Drizzle with Orange-Mint Vinaigrette. ORANGE-MINT VINAIGRETTE: In a blender blend together all ingredients until emulsified.

Steps:

• In a bowl combine the steak, soy sauce, olive oil, garlic, and pepper. Let marinate 15 minutes. Warm a nonstick skillet over moderately high heat until it is hot. Add the steak, marinade, and salt, and cook, stirring, just until the meat is no longer pink (be careful not to overcook). With a slotted spoon transfer the steak to a plate. Add the remaining oil to the skillet and warm it over moderately high heat until hot. Add the mushrooms and salt and pepper, and cook, stirring, for 5 minutes.
• In a salad bowl combine the steak, mushrooms along with any pan juices, and spinach leaves, tossing gently to combine.
• For the dressing: In a bowl whisk together the vinegar, mustard, lemon pepper, and salt to taste. Add the oil, in a stream, whisking until combined well. Whisk in the herbs. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss to combine. Serve with grilled or toasted bread.

Steps:

• Wilt, drain, and squeeze dry the spinach. Chop the spinach into large, uneven pieces.
• Place the garlic, scallions, vinegar, soy sauce, and oil in a large bowl and whisk thoroughly to combne. Add the spinach and toss to evenly coat the leaves. Season with a good squeeze of lemon juice and salt and pepper; taste and adjust the seasoning.
• To serve, divide the salad among four bowls and sprinkle each with a portion of toasted sesame seeds.
• Note: To toast the sesame seeds, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Scatter the seeds on a baking shseet and bake until lightly browned, 3 to 4 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat 2 cast iron pans. Coat the beef with oil then well in salt. Mix the peppercorns together and roll the beef in it. Coat well. When pans are screeching hot, place the beef in one and place the second pan on top, pressing down. This is called doing a "Pittsburgh". When the top and bottom get blackened, remove and let rest 3 minutes before slicing into 1/8-inch slices. Cut nori in half lengthwise. In a bowl, whisk together juice, soy and oil. Toss with spinach, reserve.
• In a small bowl, mix together wasabi and creme fraiche. Using wet hands, lightly pat rice on bottom half of nori, 1/4-inch thick. Place 2 or 3 slices of beef on the rice. Place a small mound of salad diagonally across the rice from the top left corner to the bottom right. Drizzle with wasabi mixture on top of salad. Roll a cone by bringing the bottom left corner of the nori to half way up the right side edge then roll over. Moisten the top edge to glue. Repeat process.
• Serve on small bed of salad or eat on the go.
• Wash rice at least 3 times or until water is clear. Fill rice cooker or casserole with water to about 1-inch over rice. I highly recommend a rice cooker more than 2 billion people use them in Asia for a reason. Slowly heat vinegar, mirin and sugar until very hot but not boiling. Fold in su (vinegar and sugar) with the hot rice, add enough so that the rice has a tart/sweet taste. Rice should be shiny, not mushy. Carefully clean bowl with damp cloth, cover and let rest for 30 minutes.

Steps:

Steps:

• Place spinach in a dry pot set over medium-high heat and cook, stirring, until it just begins to wilt, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer into a strainer to cool.
• While spinach cools, toast white sesame seeds in a dry pan over medium heat until light golden brown. Transfer into a mortar and pestle and crush into a very coarse paste, leaving some seeds whole. Add white sugar, soy sauce, and mirin. Stir with a wooden spoon to combine and reserve.
• Transfer cooled spinach to a towel and squeeze out any excess liquid. Chop roughly and add to a mixing bowl. Add the dressing and mix well. Cover and chill thoroughly before serving.
• Mix mayonnaise, miso paste, and rice vinegar together for miso mayo sauce. Place in the refrigerator until needed.
• Lightly salt tuna steaks, and then coat all sides well with as many sesame seeds as you like, pressing them lightly as you do.
• Brush a nonstick pan with oil and place over medium heat. Sear tuna steaks in the hot pan for 30 to 45 seconds on each side, as well as each edges.
• Slice and place tuna over the miso sauce. Brush tuna with ponzu and serve with spinach salad on the side.

Steps:

• Combine the flour and five- spice powder on a plate. Combine the egg whites, 2 tablespoons of the water or broth and 2 tablespoons of the teriyaki sauce in a shallow bowl. Spread the sesame seeds out on a plate. Dip the top of each piece of tofu into the flour mixture, then into the egg white mixture and then gently press into the sesame seeds. Place seed side up on a plate and set aside.
• In a medium saucepan, combine the carrots, ginger, sesame oil, remaining water or broth and remaining teriyaki sauce. Cook over medium heat until the carrots are cooked but still crunchy, about 4 to 5 minutes. Add the spinach and red pepper flakes and steam until tender. Keep warm.
• Place a large, heavy-bottomed nonstick skillet over medium heat until hot. Lightly coat with the vegetable oil spray. Add the tofu, seed side down and saute until golden brown, about 3 to 4 minutes. Turn and cook on the other side until brown.
• Divide the carrot mixture with its liquid among 4 plates. Top each with 2 pieces of tofu and serve immediately.
