Grilled strip steak with thai slaw fried rice

Grilled strip steak with thai slaw fried rice



I admit, we are all human and we do make mistakes. But I absolutely love when such mistakes happen and I create a new recipe that will stay in my favorite side dishes category! Originally I was supposed to make my regular thai slaw recipe (see bellow), but by mistake i poured too much sesame oil and soy sauce so it became too saucy. That's when I came up with the idea, why don't I just mix it with some steamed brown rice and call it a thai slaw fried rice? And trust me when it came to serving it to my friend, they did not think for a second it was a recipe created by mistake. For a prettier presentation I left some rice plain and i layered it up so it looks like I worked soooo hard to make two kind of side dishes.... Enjoy!

Strip steak

Marinade:
1/2 cup oil
1 T paprika
1 T montreal steak seasoning
1 T salt
1 T black pepper

Mix all ingredients in a ziplock bag, place strip steaks inside and let marinate for at least half hour up to 24hours

Heat grill pan (in better weather on the grill! cant wait!), Take out strip steak from marinate and shake off all excess oil. Grill it 5 minutes on each side or if you like it more well done than leave it for another minute or two. Remove from grill pan and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.

Thai broccoli slaw

Ingredients

1 bag of broccolislaw
1 bunch of scallion thinly sliced
2 T sesame oil
2 T canola or vegetable oil
2 T soy sauce
1 T sugar (or substitute)
1 T vinegar
1 t ground ginger
 salt and pepper to taste
2 cups cooked brown rice (optional)

Heat oils in sautee pan, add scallions and sautee for 2-3 minutes. Add broccoli slaw and let it soften for 4-5 minutes while mixing it. Pour soy sauce, vinegar, ginger and sugar over, mix well and let it cook for additional 15 minutes. Before removing it from heat sprinkle and mix with sesame seeds.


If you want to serve it as a fried rice add another 1 T of sesame oil and soy sauce to mix  and before serving mix with brown rice or serve separately

Bon appetit
