STEAK TACOS WITH CUCUMBER SALAD AND SUMAC PICKLED ONIONS

12

CAROLYN COHEN BA, BScOT Founder/Chef/Recipe Developer

DELICIOUSDISH Cooking School specializes in Whole Food Home Cooking, Meal Planning, Recipe Developing and Healthy Eating. #CookAtHome

love tacos and I love Korean flavours. This combination is irresistible and a fantastic easy summer entertaining dish! Both skirt steak and flank steak need a long marinating time and need to be sliced super thin once cooked. The sumac in the pickled onion adds a fantastic red colour and sour flavour that goes really nicely in the tacos. You can buy sumac in a ground powder form in a specialty shop. It comes from the sumac bush found in the middle east, the berry is dried and ground, it has a lemony flavor.

D: 416.200.3522 E: deliciousdish@rogers.com DeliciousDish.ca

SERVES 6-I0

INGREDIENTS

DIRECTIONS

• 1 skirt steak or flank steak

• Blend all the marinade ingredients together in a blender or food processor, leave a little texture.

• 12-20 small corn tortillas • 1 avocado, peeled and diced STEAK MARINADE

• 1 bunch green onions, white parts only or 1/2 a small onion • 1/3 cup toasted sesame seeds • 3 cloves garlic • 1" piece of fresh ginger, washed (no need to peel) • 1/3 cup low sodium tamari or soy sauce • 1/4 cup toasted sesame oil • 3 tbsp mirin (rice wine) CUCUMBER SALAD

• Place in a zip lock bag, place steak in the bag. Marinate overnight or up to 2 days.

• When ready to grill... remove meat from the fridge for 1 hour before grilling.

• To make the Cucumber Salad: Slice the cucumber in half in the width so that it is easier to handle, take each half and slice into half or quarters in the length. Now slice into thin pieces, I do this on a slicer so I get super thin slices. Place slices in a medium size mixing bowl. Drizzle the vinegar and oil over the cucumbers, sprinkle with the salt and sugar (if using), mix and toss together very well. Sprinkle with sesame seeds, toss. Let marinate at room temp for about 30 minutes or longer before serving. Toss again before serving.

• To make the Sumac Pickled Onions: mix the onions in a medium bowl with the red wine vinagar, sumac and salt. Mix well and let sit for 30 minutes or so.

• 1 English cucumber

• Turn your BBQ to high for 10-15 minutes. Once the grill is hot, turn it down to medium.

• 1/4 cup seasoned rice vinegar

• Remove the steak from the marinade and shake off excess.

• 1 tsp. sesame oil • 1/2 tsp kosher salt • Pinch of sugar, optional • Toasted black and white sesame seeds SUMAC PICKLED ONIONS

• 1/2 red onion, very finely sliced

• Place the meat on the grill. Cover the grill and cook the steak for about 4 minutes, flip and repeat.

• Allow steaks to “rest” (lightly covered in foil) on cutting board for 10 minutes before slicing.

• Slice thinly on an angle, serve a few pieces on soft corn tortillas, topped with Cucumber Salad, Sumac Pickled Onions and cubed avocado. DELICIOUSDISH

• 2 tbsp red wine vinegar • 1 tsp sumac • 1/2 tsp kosher salt

Cordless GOING

CHILD SAFETY

FOR

REMINDING PARENTS THAT WINDOW SAFETY IS A CRITICAL CONSIDERATION Article by: Lisa Lloyd

18

oing "cordless" is a trend across several industries. But the movement in window coverings is not just about modern style and convenience. It is an issue of safety for homes with small children. Here are a few tips to help parents understand the options available that promote SAFETY and CONSUMER EDUCATION. Some styles of traditional corded window coverings pose a tempting hazard to infants and toddlers who view dangling cords as playthings. Each year, entanglement by window cords is a serious danger that can cause injury to small children or maybe even death.

While accidents have decreased with changes in industry safety standards, there is still work to be done in spreading awareness. According to the Consumer Product Safety Commission, at least one child dies from window cord strangulation every month, and during that one-month period, at least one more child suffers a near strangulation.

There are simple yet critical steps parents can take to increase the safety in their homes.

CHOOSE SAFER WINDOW COVERINGS Cordless treatments are recommended for homes where small children or pets live or frequently visit.

CO R D L E S S O P TI O N S I N C LU D E : • SHUTTERS: Offer a classic and inherently cordless window

covering option.

• MOTORIZED SHADES: Can be raised and lowered with the

touch of a button using a battery-operated remote control.

• CORDLESS CELLULAR SHADES: A sleek and modern option,

cordless cellular shades can be easily raised and lowered with one hand.

ADD SAFET Y FEATURES TO EXISTING CORDS Existing corded window coverings can be retrofitted with safety features such as: • SPRING ASSISTED CLUTCHES: Can be raised and lowered

without the use of cords.

• SLIDING PANEL TRACK SYSTEMS: For vertical products with

side to side openings.

• BREAK-AWAY TASSELS: Designed to pull apart under

minimal pressure.

• CORD STOPS: For horizontal window coverings that restrict

how far the internal ladder cords can be pulled from the blind.

• CORD CLEATS: Safely tie dangerous cords out of your

children's reach. >>>

PL ACE FURNITURE WITH SAFET Y IN MIND Be mindful of where furniture is placed within a child’s bedroom or playroom. Moving furniture, such as cribs, changing tables, toy chests and chairs away from the window area prevents access to window coverings. This also minimizes the risk of accidentally falling from the window should the child crawl up and over the wrong end.

In the event that the glass breaks, positioning furniture away from the window reduces the risk of injury from broken glass.

If furniture must be placed near a window, consider adding security film, which helps maintain the integrity of windowpanes during a storm or earthquake, and from the impact of flying objects such as wind-driven tree limbs or baseballs from the neighbourhood game.

ADDITIONAL SAFET Y TIPS Window safety is just one of many considerations when decorating a home with small children. For more information and tips on whole home safety, visit www.cdc.gov/healthyhomes.
