Yummy and easy! Prep time includes minimum marinating. Ingredients:
4 tablespoons toasted sesame oil |
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil |
3 medium garlic cloves, minced |
2 medium scallions, minced (about 3 tablespoons) |
3 inches piece fresh ginger, peeled and minced (about 3 tablespoons) |
1 steak, 2 pounds (almost 1kg) |
enough kosher salt to crust the meat |
2 teaspoons vegetable oil |
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper (optional) |
Directions:
1. To make the marinade:.
2. Put all ingredients into food processor and process until smooth. You can make this ahead and refrigerate until you're ready to use it.
3. To prepare the steak:.
4. Poke the steak with a fork about 20 times per side. Liberally salt both sides of the steak to create a crust. Then coat both sides of the steak with marinade. Wrap well in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least an hour, or up to 24 hours.
5. To cook the steak:.
6. Heat the oven to 450° F (230° C, gas mark 8). Heat the vegetable oil in a 12 ovenproof skillet until the oil smokes. Wipe the marinade and salt off of the steak, and if you like, season with the black pepper. Put the steak into the hot skillet (stand back a bit in case the oil splatters).
7. Sear the steak until browned, 3-4 minutes. Flip with tongs and sear for another 3-4 minutes on the other side. If you have a probe thermometer, stick it into the thickest part of the meat. Place the entire skillet into the oven and roast until slightly less done than you like it. A final result of medium rare will require 4-5 minutes in the oven.
8. Remove the hot skillet from the oven and transfer the steak to a cutting board. Place a tent of aluminum foil over the steak and let it rest for 5 to 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
