If you didn’t know, I competed and won an episode of Guy’s Grocery Games back in 2016! This asian marinated skirt steak and citrus arugula salad is the dish that I won with! It’s juicy, flavorful, and surprisingly simple to put together. The Asian marinade and salad dressing are packed with an umami flavor that keeps you coming back for more!!
The challenge on the show was to create a lunch dish using a budget and coupons. And I mean who doesn’t love a good steak sandwich/salad for lunch? The best part about it is that it’s sort of like a choose your own adventure. Eat it as a sandwich, eat it as a salad, or even make some rice or potatoes and turn it into a bowl. Either way you have it, it is DELICIOUS!!!
Here’s the recipe:
Asian Marinated Skirt Steak & Citrus Arugula Salad
My GGG winning dish!! The perfect umami lunch dish.
Ingredients
Steak Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup ponzu sauce
- 1 tsp miso paste
- 1 tbsp ginger, grated
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 1 tbsp honey
- 1 lb skirt steak
Salad Ingredients:
- 3 cups arugula
- 1 fennel, thinly sliced
- 1 blood orange, segmented and cubed
- 1 nectarine, sliced
- 1/2 cup Frozen shelled edamame
Salad Dressing
- 2 tbsp Ponzu sauce
- 1 tsp tbsp sesame oil
- 1/2 tsp miso paste, or soy sauce
- 1 tsp ginger, grated
- 2 tbsp olive oil
Optional
- Toasted Bread
Instructions
- Whisk together the marinade ingredients in a bowl and then add in the skirt steak. Completely drench and marinade for at least 30 minutes (the longer the better)
- Add the arugula, fennel, nectarine, edamame, and orange to a bowl. Whisk together the salad dressing ingredients in a bowl. Set aside, and toss the salad with the dressing right before serving.
- On medium high heat, add a pan or grill pan to the stove. Once slightly smoky, add the steak. Cook for about 2-5 minutes per side (for medium rare/medium). Remove from heat and add to a cutting board to rest for 5-10 minutes.
- Slice the steak against the grain into thin slices and serve along with the salad! OR soak the toasted bread in the juice from the steak and make into an epic sandwich.
This was so delicious and so easy to make. Everyone complimented this dish and loved all of the different flavors that worked so well together. All of the different colors in the salad also made for such a beautiful presentation! I tripled the recipe to serve 8 people. I will definately be saving this as a nice dish to make when I host. Thank you so much for sharing!
