Ingredients
- 1 pound beef flank steak
- 1 recipe Tare Sauce
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 cup chopped onion (1 medium)
- 1/3 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 tablespoon snipped fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 pound fresh asparagus spears, trimmed
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- Snipped fresh parsley
- Toasted sesame seeds
Preparation
Step 1
Directions
1.
Trim fat from meat. Thinly slice meat across the grain into long strips. Place meat in a resealable plastic bag set in a shallow dish. Add 1/2 cup of the Tare Sauce. Seal bag; turn to coat meat. Marinate in the refrigerator for 1 to 12 hours, turning bag occasionally. Cover and chill the remaining Tare Sauce until needed.
2.
Meanwhile, for aioli, in a medium skillet heat olive oil over medium-low heat. Add onion. Cook, covered, for 13 to 15 minutes or until onion is tender, stirring occasionally. Cook, uncovered, over medium-high heat for 3 to 5 minutes or until onion is golden, stirring frequently. Transfer to a small bowl; cool. Stir in mayonnaise, lime juice, 1 tablespoon parsley, cheese, and pepper. Cover and chill until ready to serve.
3.
Drain meat, discarding marinade. On eight 10- to 12-inch skewers** thread meat accordion-style, leaving 1/4 inch between pieces.
4.
Place asparagus in a shallow dish. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of the remaining Tare sauce and the vegetable oil; toss to coat.*
5.
On a charcoal hibachi, place asparagus on the rack of the uncovered grill perpendicular to wires of rack directly over medium coals. Grill about 7 minutes or until asparagus is crisp-tender, turning occasionally. Remove from grill; cover to keep warm. Place meat skewers on grill rack. Grill for 5 to 6 minutes or until meat is slightly pink in center, turning and brushing once with the remaining Tare Sauce halfway through grilling.
6.
Sprinkle meat, asparagus, and aioli with additional parsley and sesame seeds. Serve meat and asparagus with aioli.
