Flatiron Steak with Cucumber and Ginger Salad and Black Chile Mayonnaise Recipe

Ingredients

How to make it

  • Season the meat with salt and pepper. Heat the oil in a large cast-iron skillet over high heat. Add the steak and sear for about 5 minutes on each side. Remove from the heat and set aside to rest for 5 minutes. Thinly slice the meat against the grain.
  • Slice the ciabatta rolls in half and scoop out as much bread as possible. Spread the mayonnaise on the top halves or the rolls. Layer the sliced meat on the bottom halves and top with a generous amount of the cucumber, ginger, and cilantro. Drizzle the lime juice on top and season with salt. Close the sandwiches, cut into halves and serve.
  • Black Chile Mayonnaise:
  • Place an oven or cooling rack on top of a gas burner. Make sure you're cooking in a well-ventilated area to avoid breathing in the fumes that will generate when charring the chiles. Place the chiles on the rack and char over an open flame. Using tongs, turn the chiles as they char. The chiles will puff up and turn completely black. Remove from the heat and cool.
  • Discard the stems from all the chiles as well as the seeds from the ancho. Transfer the chiles to a blender or food processor and grind until fine. Place in a bowl and combine with the oil.
  • In a food processor, combine the egg yolk, garlic lime juice, sugar, salt, and 2 tbs water, and quickly blend. With the food processor at medium to low speed, slowly add the chile oil in a thin and steady stream until fully incorporated. If some of the chile mix sticks to the side of the bowl, stop the blender and use a spatula to fully incorporated or store in the refrigerator for 2 to 3 days.
  • Note: If mayo is thick, drizzle water to thin to desired consistency.
