2 pounds skirt steak, trimmed of fat

For salad

2 red onions, thinly sliced into rounds
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

3/4 pound assorted mushrooms (such as crimini and oyster), sliced
1/4 cup Sherry wine vinegar
1/4 cup olive oil
10 ounces mixed baby lettuces

Preparation

  1. Make aioli:

    Step 1

    Whisk all ingredients in small bowl to blend. Season dressing to taste with salt and pepper. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate.)

  2. Make steak:

    Step 2

    Whisk first 6 ingredients to blend in 13x9x2-inch glass baking dish. Add steaks to marinade; turn to coat. Cover and refrigerate at least 8 hours.

  3. Make salad:

    Step 3

    Combine onions, lemon juice and coarse salt in medium bowl. Let stand 1 hour, tossing occasionally.

    Step 4

    Prepare barbecue (medium-high heat). Remove steaks from marinade. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Grill about 3 minutes per side for medium-rare. Transfer steaks to work surface.

    Step 5

    Melt butter in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Add shallot and mushrooms; sauté until well browned, about 7 minutes. Add vinegar to skillet and bring to boil, scraping up browned bits. Remove from heat; mix in oil. Season mushroom mixture to taste with salt and pepper.

    Step 6

    Combine lettuces, onions and mushroom mixture in large bowl; toss. Divide lettuce mixture among 6 plates. Thinly slice steaks across grain; arrange atop lettuce mixture. Drizzle some of aioli over salads. Pass remaining aioli separately.
