Directions:Preheat the oven to 450 degrees
Cooking the Bulgur • In a small sauce pot over high heat bring 3/4C water and bulgur to a boil. • Cover, reduce heat, and simmer 12-14 minutes or until tender. Drain and let cool. (Note: I needed a lot more water to ensure it didn’t burn). • Juice ¼ of the lime into a small bowl and set aside. • In a second bowl, squeeze 2 T of orange juice, add the balsamic vinegar, canola oil, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix until emulsified, set aside.
Prep • Slice the top and bottom off the clementine, slice off the skin and rind. Segment the clementine and cut into 1 inch diced pieces. Place in a medium bowl. • Remove the stem, pith, and seeds from half a jalapeno. Finely chop and place in the medium bowl with the clementines. • Cut the green onion into ¼” pieces and place in the bowl with clementines and jalapeno. • Rough chop the cilantro leaves and place in the bowl with the clementines.
Steak Rub • Pat the flank steak dry in a bowl. • Pour the lime juice over both sides of the steak. Coat both sides with chili powder and rub until coated. Place on a sheet pan lined with foil. • Place the sheet pan in the oven and roast for 5 minutes on each side. (145 degrees) Remove and let rest for 3 minutes. Slice into ½” slices against the grain.
Assembly • Add the flank steak to the clementine mixture and pour the orange vinaigrette on top, toss well. • Place the bulgur on the center of the plate and add the steak salad. |
