Cookware
aluminum foil · chef's knife · citrus juicer (optional) · colander · cutting board · garlic press (optional) · grill pan, outdoor grill, or skillet · measuring spoons · mixing bowls · tongs · whisk or fork
Directions
- Pat the steak dry and season lightly, then marinate briefly by combining half of the lime juice with a splash of soy sauce; let it sit for 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, juice the lime and set aside a portion for the dressing; mince the garlic.
- Wash and dry the cabbage, remove the tough core, and slice it thinly; cut the cucumber ends, halve lengthwise, and slice on the diagonal.
- Whisk the reserved lime juice with minced garlic, toasted sesame oil, rice vinegar, a pinch of crushed red pepper, and salt to make the dressing.
- Heat coconut oil in a grill pan, skillet, or grill over medium-high heat and sear the steak until cooked to your liking, about 2 to 5 minutes per side; rest briefly.
- Toss the cabbage and cucumber with the dressing, then scatter the peanuts over the top and arrange the sliced steak on the plate before serving.
Two tips
- Marinate the steak while you prep the vegetables to save time.
- Offer lime wedges on the side for extra brightness or a touch more heat with additional crushed red pepper.
