Grilled Steak Asparagus Salad with Hoisin Vinaigrette
Ingredients
- Dry rub for the steak:
- 1/2 Tablespoons black peppercorns
- 1 teaspoon coriander seeds
- 1 teaspoon fennel seed
- Kosher salt
- 1 Pound New York strip steak thick cut
- 1-1/2 Tablespoons olive oil
- 1 pound thick asparagus trimmed
- Freshly ground black pepper
- For the vinaigrette
- 3 Tablespoons chicken broth
- 2-1/2 Tablespoons hoisin sauce
- 2 Tablespoons olive oil
- 2 Tablespoons white wine vinegar
- 1-1/2 teaspoon reduced-sodium soy sauce
- 2 teaspoons minced fresh ginger
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- For the salad
- 4 cups watercress or arugula
- 1 large mango peeled and slivered into thin wedges, or 2 large navel oranges, peeled and sliced into thick rounds
- 1/2 small red onion
- Daikon or radish sprouts for garnish or pea tendrils
Instructions
- Prepare the steak and asparagus
- Put the peppercorns, coriander, fennel, and 1/2 tsp. salt in a spice grinder and grind to a fine powder. Coat the steak with 1/2 Tbs. of the olive oil and then the peppercorn mixture. Set aside for at least 30 minutes and up to 1-1/2 hours.
- Toss the asparagus with the remaining 1 Tbs. of olive oil and season with salt and pepper; set aside.
- Make the vinaigrette
- In a blender, combine all of the ingredients and pulse 2 or 3 times to mix, adding more broth if necessary to achieve a silky consistency.
- Grill the steak and asparagus
- Prepare a high gas or charcoal grill fire. Grill the steak until nice grill marks form, about 5 minutes. Flip and cook the steak on the second side until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the steak reads 125°F for rare, about 4 minutes. Remove the steak from the grill and put on a cutting board. Tent with foil to keep warm. Let the meat rest while you grill the asparagus.
- Spread out the asparagus on the grill and cook, turning a couple of times, until crisp-tender, about 5 minutes.
- Assemble the salad
- Arrange the asparagus, cress, and mango on 4 plates or a platter. Thinly slice the steak across the grain and arrange over the salad. Drizzle with the vinaigrette and garnish with the red onion and daikon sprouts (if using).
