Grilled Smokey Skirt Steak with Cucumber Mango Salad

So the lesson to be learned here is that paprika = magic on steak. :)
I found this recipe on Health-Bent which by the way is quickly becoming my favorite place for Paleo recipes. Skirt Steak is such an easy piece of meat to work with and it's pretty inexpensive at the grocery store so it's a win all around. We really liked this recipe. I had to add avocado to the salad... we had some, i love it, and it went perfectly with the other flavors.

Grilled Smokey Skirt Steak with Cucumber Mango Salad

For the steak:
2 1/2 lbs. skirt or flank steak
4 T smoked paprika
1 t salt
1 t pepper

Rub the ingredients on both sides of the steak. Place on a preheated grill and let cook for about 12 minutes…that’ll get you a nice medium rare.

For the salad:
2 mangoes, cubed
1 English cucumber, cubed
1/2 red onion, finely diced
* ½ an avocado, cubed
2 limes, juiced
handful of mint, chopped
S&P

Combine all ingredients. Let marinate in the fridge for a few hours or eat immediately.

a little catching up...

We have a couple recipes we tried before I left for Minnesota. This Primal Philly Cheeesteak in a bowl is one of them. I'm really beginning to love Health-Bent's site. Anything we've tried from there so far has been good. Please know that this dish tasted so much better than it looks. :)

Primal Philly Cheesesteak in a bowl

1 lb. skirt steak, sliced thinly
2 green peppers, sliced thinly
2 yellow onions, sliced thinly
8 oz. mushrooms, sliced
4 oz. good melting cheese, sliced
2 T butter
1 T Worcestershire sauce
1 T hot sauce
S&P

Put your oven on broil and place the rack in the middle of the oven.

In a large, oven proof saucepan, melt the butter over high heat and add hot sauce and Worcestershire sauce.

Saute the beef, add the onions, peppers and mushrooms. Place a lid/cover on the saute pan and stir occasionally while the peppers and onions soften.

Once that’s happened, top with cheese slices, stick the pan under the broiler until the cheese has reached the desired melty-ness stage. Some like it gooey and some like it brown and bubbly. Take it out of the oven and serve.
