Steak With Avocado Butter And Mango Salsa Recipes

Steps:

• For the steak: In a large shallow bowl or baking dish whisk together the soy sauce, olive oil, lemon juice, honey, onion, habanero, and salt and pepper, to taste. Add the skirt steak, cover and refrigerate. Marinate for at least 1 hour, preferably several hours.
• For the beans: In a saucepan over medium-low heat, combine all ingredients and let simmer for 20 minutes.
• For the tostadas: Heat about 3 inches of oil in a large pot to about 350 degrees F. Carefully slide 1 tortilla into the oil and fry until crisp, about 1 to 2 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels. Repeat with the remaining tortillas.
• Preheat a grill pan or grill to medium-high. Remove the skirt steak from the bowl or baking dish and discard the marinade. Place the steak on the grill and grill about 4 to 6 minutes for medium-rare to medium. Remove from grill to a cutting board and let rest for about 5 minutes. Slice into thin pieces at a diagonal.
• To serve: Place fried tortillas on a large platter or individual plates. Spoon some of the black bean mixture in the middle of the tortillas. Top with steak slices and the Mango Salsa. Garnish with sour cream and your choice of grated cheese, if desired.
• In a bowl, combine all ingredients and set aside for 10 to 20 minutes for the flavors to marry.

Steps:

• Combine soy sauce, olive oil, lime juice, vinegar, garlic, salt, black pepper, white pepper, garlic powder, oregano, cayenne pepper, cumin, and paprika in a container. Place flank steak in the marinade and refrigerate for 8 to 24 hours.
• Mix mango, avocado, lime juice, jalapeno, red onion, and cilantro together to make the salsa.
• Set an oven rack at least 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.
• Remove flank steak from marinade and pat dry with paper towels.
• Broil flank steak on high, flipping at the halfway mark, until steaks are beginning to firm and are hot and slightly pink in the center, about 18 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 130 degrees F (54 degrees C).
• Cut flank steak into small cubes. Wrap 8 tortillas in a paper towel and heat in the microwave until soft, 20 to 30 seconds. Serve steak on tortillas.

Steps:

• Slice the roast crosswise into 3 even steaks. Heat a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Brush the steaks all over with 1 tablespoon olive oil, season with the chili powder and add salt to taste. Cook until a thermometer inserted into the side registers 125 degrees for medium-rare, 4 to 5 minutes per side. Let rest for 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, toss the tomatoes and hearts of palm in a bowl with the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 tablespoon lime juice, and salt and pepper to taste.
• Halve and pit the avocado; scoop the flesh into a blender or food processor. Add the cilantro, garlic, the remaining 1 tablespoon lime juice and 1/2 cup water; puree. Season with salt.
• Thinly slice the steaks. Serve with the avocado sauce, tomato salad and tortillas for wrapping, if desired. Garnish with lime wedges.

• Heat oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Saute onions until browned and tender.

Steps:

• Finely dice the mango. Cut down the broad side of the mango, slightly off center, from the stem end to the tip end. The knife should scrape against the side of the pit. Repeat on the other side, cutting as close to the pit as possible. Cut the flesh from the sides of the pit, following the curve of the pit. Lay each half on your cutting surface, and score with the tip of your knife in a cross-hatch pattern, down to the skin but not through it. Turn the mango half inside out, and slice the cubes away from the skin. Then cut the cubes into very small dice.
• Toss the mango in a bowl with the chiles, cilantro, mint, jicama and lime juice. Season with salt if desired. Cover the bowl, and allow to sit for an hour while you prepare your grill.
• Heat a medium-hot grill (or heat an indoor griddle or grill pan). Season the halibut fillets or steaks with salt and pepper, and toss with the olive oil in a bowl. Place the fish directly over the coals, and grill for four to five minutes per side, depending on the thickness. The fish should be opaque all the way through, and you should be able to pull it apart with a fork.
• Remove the fish to a plate or a platter. Serve with the salsa spooned partially over the fish and partially on the side. Alternately, spoon the salsa onto plates and set the fish on top. Garnish with lime wedges and serve.

Steps:

Steps:

• 1. Prepare the mango salsa and the avocado butter. Cover and reserve. Prepare an outdoor grill, or, preheat a stovetop grill pan or oven broiler. Season steaks with salt. Add pepper, if desired. Brush the steaks with vegetable oil. 2. When the coals are hot, or broiler or stovetop pan is hot, cook the steaks about 4 minutes per side, or until browned on the outside and pink and juicy inside for medium rare, or adjust time for desired doneness. Put 1 steak on each of 4 plates. Top each steak with about 1 tablespoon of avocado butter. Spoon mango salsa on the side. Pass extra avocado butter and salsa at the table.From "1,000 Mexican Recipes." Copyright 2001 by Marge Poore. Used with permission of the publisher, Wiley Publishing, Inc. All Rights Reserved.
