Grilled Beef and Tabbouleh Salad
Recipe courtesy of The Beef Checkoff.
Recipe Ingredients:
1 beef top round steak, cut 3/4-inch thick (about 1 pound)
1/3 cup fresh lemon juice
1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
1 (5.25 to 6-ounce) package tabbouleh mix
1 cup chopped seeded tomato
Cooking Directions:
- Combine lemon juice, oil and parsley in small bowl. Cover and refrigerate 1/3 cup for tabbouleh. Place beef steak and remaining lemon juice mixture in food-safe plastic bag; turn steak to coat. Close bag securely and marinate in refrigerator 6 hour or as long as overnight, turning occasionally.
- Up to 1 hour before serving, hydrate tabbouleh mix with boiling water according to package directions, omitting any oil. (Do not proceed with package directions beyond this point.) Add tomato and 1/3 cup reserved marinade to hydrated tabbouleh; stir to combine. Set aside.
- Remove steak from marinade; discard marinade.
- Place steak on grid over medium, ash-covered coals.
- Grill, covered, 10 to 11 minute (over medium heat on preheated gas grill, times remain the same) for medium rare (145°F (62.7°C)) doneness, turning occasionally. (Do not overcook.)
- Carve steak into thin slices; season with salt and pepper, as desired. Serve over tabbouleh.
Makes 4 servings.
To Broil: Place steak on rack in broiler pan so surface of beef is 2 to 3-inches from heat. Broil 12 to 13 minutes for medium rare doneness, turning once. (Do not overcook.)
