We love a perfectly seared steak, but it’s the stunningly colorful plum salad with a mouth-puckering kimchi vinaigrette that’s really the star.

Chef's Tip
To get a nice brown sear on the steak, dry the meat as thoroughly as possible and give the pan and oil plenty of time to heat before you start cooking.
Ingredient IQ
Dating back to the seventh century, Korean kimchi is a crunchy, spicy fermented vegetable that accompanies everything from rice to soups. It was originally made as a way to simply preserve vegetables, with ingredients varying by region and season. Cabbage is generally the main ingredient, fermented with flavorings such as garlic, ginger, and chile peppers for added depth and complexity.
Grill It
Prepare a medium-hot fire on one side of a grill. Set the steak on the grill directly over the heat and cook, turning once, until starting to brown, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer to indirect heat, close the grill, and cook without turning until lightly charred and cooked to the desired doneness, 5 to 10 minutes longer for top sirloins and 5 to 15 minutes longer for rib-eye and filet mignons.

Wash produce before use

1

Prep and cook the steak

  • Pat the steak dry with a paper towel; season generously with salt and pepper.
In a large frying pan over medium-high heat, warm 1 to 2 tablespoons oil until hot but not smoking. Working in batches if needed, add the steak and cook, turning frequently, until well browned, 6 to 8 minutes for medium-rare for top sirloins, 7 to 9 minutes for rib-eye, and 8 to 12 minutes for filet mignons. Transfer to a cutting board to rest for 5 minutes. Add more oil between batches if needed. Cut the steak into ½-inch-thick slices. Wipe out the pan.
While the steak cooks and rests, prepare the salad and the squash.

2

Make the cabbage-plum salad

  • Cut the plum in half and remove the pit; cut the fruit into ¼-inch-thick slices.
  • Scrub or peel the carrot and trim the ends; cut the carrot in half lengthwise, then thinly slice on the diagonal.
In a large bowl, toss together the red cabbage, green cabbage, plum, carrot, and kimchi vinaigrette. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Let stand while you prepare the squash.

3

Prep and cook the squash

  • Trim the ends from the squash; cut the squash crosswise into 2-inch-long pieces. Cut each piece lengthwise into thin slices, then the slices lengthwise into thin matchsticks.
In the same pan used for the steak, warm 1 teaspoon [2 tsp] oil over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking. Stir in the squash, season with salt and pepper, and cook until browned and starting to soften, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer to a plate.

Serve

Transfer the cabbage-plum salad to individual bowls and top with the steak and squash. Garnish with as much kimchi chile as you like and serve.
