Ingredients
Directions
Ingredients
1 (1.5-2 pounds) skirt steak
2 tbsp toasted sesame seeds
4 tbsp maple syrup
2 tbsp rice vinegar
2 tsp red chili pepper flakes (or less depending on desired heat)
Oil for searing Noodles
1 package frozen lo mein noodles or extra thin spaghetti; cooked according to package directions
2 tbsp maple syrup
2 tbsp toasted sesame seeds
1 bunch thinly sliced scallions
1 tsp rice vinegar
Extra scallions and sesame seeds for garnish
Directions
Chili Skirt Steak
1. In a large Ziploc bag place the sesame seeds, chili pepper flakes, maple syrup, and rice vinegar. Mix well to fully combine. Add meat to marinade and massage it into the steak. Set aside. Since meat should be prepared at room temperature you may leave this to marinate on your counter for a half an hour. If preparing later; place in the fridge for up to two hours and remove a half hour before you are ready to prepare (bring to room temp).
2. Place a large nonstick frying pan on medium high heat, and drizzle with oil. Remove the steak from the Ziploc bag and pat dry to remove any excess moisture. Place the steak in the heated pan. Sear the steak for three minutes per side for medium rare. You may sear longer if you like your steak more well done.
Asian Noodles
1. In a large bowl whisk together the maple syrup, oil, soy sauce, sesame seeds, vinegar and scallions. Add in the noodles and mix well. Allow the noodles to marinate in the sauce for at least half an hour before serving.
2. Place the noodles onto a serving platter, slice the skirt steak in a diagonal and place on top of the noodles. Garnish with scallions and sesame seeds for a truly spectacular dish.
3. Serve warm or at room temperature and enjoy!
Yossi’s Tips
1. Soak the meat overnight to remove the salty flavor or to lower the sodium level.
2. If you soak it then adjust seasoning as needed (this recipe does not soak the meat).
