Steak Salad with Tomato Vinaigrette image

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 20

2 teaspoons chili powder
2 teaspoons packed light brown sugar
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
2 boneless New York strip steaks (about 1 inch thick; 1 1/4 pounds total)
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
Extra-virgin olive oil, for brushing
1 red onion, sliced into 1/2-inch rounds
1/2 cup cherry tomatoes
Juice of 3 limes
2 teaspoons adobo sauce (from a can of chipotle chile peppers)
1 teaspoon honey
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
2 small heads Boston lettuce, leaves torn
1 avocado, diced
1 1/2 pounds assorted heirloom tomatoes, cut into chunks
1/2 small jicama, peeled and julienned
1 cup crumbled queso fresco cheese
1/2 cup fresh cilantro

Steps:

  • Make the steak: Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium. Mix the chili powder, brown sugar, cumin and smoked paprika in a small bowl. Season the steaks with salt and pepper and rub with the spice mixture; set aside.
  • Make the vinaigrette: Puree the cherry tomatoes, lime juice, adobo sauce and honey in a blender until smooth. With the machine running, add the olive oil and puree until smooth. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Brush the steaks with olive oil and grill 4 to 5 minutes per side for medium rare. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest 10 minutes. Meanwhile, brush the red onion slices with olive oil; season with salt and pepper. Grill the onion, turning occasionally, until softened and charred in spots, about 8 minutes. Thinly slice the steak against the grain. Roughly chop the onion.
  • Assemble the salad: Divide the lettuce among plates. Top with the onion, steak, avocado, heirloom tomatoes, jicama and queso fresco. Drizzle with about half of the vinaigrette and sprinkle with the cilantro. Serve with the remaining vinaigrette.

Yield Makes 4 to 6 Servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 pound hanger, skirt, or flank steak
1 teaspoon kosher salt plus more
Freshly ground black pepper
1 medium tomato (about 6 ounces), halved
1 tablespoon minced shallot
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
1/4 cup plus 5 teaspoons olive oil, divided
4 spring onions or 6 scallions, bulbs halved, dark-green parts discarded
5 1/2-inch-thick slices ciabatta
8 cups mixed summer lettuces (such as mizuna, baby mustard greens, and tatsoi)
3/4 cup fresh basil leaves, torn into 1/2-inch-strips

Steps:

  • Season steak with 1 teaspoon salt and pepper; set aside. Grate cut sides of tomato on coarse holes of a box grater into a medium bowl down to the skin; discard skin. Add shallot and vinegar; whisk in 1/4 cup oil. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Set aside. DO AHEAD: Tomato vinaigrette can be made 1 day ahead.
  • Build a medium-hot fire in a charcoal grill, or heat a gas grill to high. Toss spring onions in a medium bowl with 1 teaspoon oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill onions until just tender, 2-3 minutes per side. Transfer to a cutting board and cut into 2" pieces.
  • Grill steak until seared and cooked to desired doneness, 3-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, depending on steak's thickness. Transfer to a cutting board. Let rest, about 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, make croutons: Brush both sides of bread slices with remaining 4 teaspoons oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill bread until dark golden brown and nicely charred in spots, about 2 minutes per side. Set toast aside until cool enough to handle, then break toast into roughly 1" pieces.
  • Thinly slice steak against the grain. Toss lettuces, basil, spring onions, croutons, and some of the vinaigrette in a large bowl. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Add steak and toss gently to coat. Serve with remaining vinaigrette alongside.

GRILLED SKIRT-STEAK SALAD



Grilled Skirt-Steak Salad image

Some dishes are so adjustable, they're more a concept than a recipe. Exhibit A: this grilled-steak salad. The trick is to drizzle on a little vinaigrette when the meat comes off the heat, to give it a savory brightness. Lay the sliced steak and grilled vegetables on top of crunchy romaine and anything else that beckons at the farm stand, then top it all off with briny feta and more vinaigrette.

GRILLED STEAK SALAD WITH VINAIGRETTE



Grilled Steak Salad With Vinaigrette image

I put this together for dinner tonight, and it was so good! It was very hearty and filling, with bread and cheese as an accompaniment. Amounts are just estimated guidelines. Use a good quality Dijon mustard, ideally a strong, but not too vinegary, mustard. Prep time is an estimated time for all the chopping etc listed in the ingredients. You can prepare the vegetables, steak, and vinaigrette in advance and refrigerate until ready to use--I'd say use the same day, though, or there will be some loss in quality.

Categories     Steak

Time 45m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 lb sirloin steak
2 -4 tablespoons olive oil
salt & pepper, to taste
1/2 large shallot, minced finely
4 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 -2 tablespoon finely minced chives
1/2 tablespoon Dijon mustard (good quality, such as Maille)
salt & pepper
1 cup extra virgin olive oil
12 cups salad greens
1/2 large cucumber, peeled, seeded, and chopped
1 yellow bell pepper, cut into bite size pieces
12 ounces marinated artichoke hearts, drained
1 cup thinly sliced red onion
2 medium tomatoes, seeded and chopped
1/2 lb tiny new potatoes, boiled, drained, and cooled to room temperature (optional)
blue cheese, crumbled (optional)

Steps:

  • Brush steak with olive oil and season to taste with salt and pepper. Grill over medium-high heat to a little rarer than desired doneness (around 10-15 minutes for rare). Set steak aside.
  • In a pint size mason jar (or other non-reactive container with a tight lid), combine shallots and red wine vinegar. Let sit for 5-10 minutes, then add chives, salt & pepper to taste, and mustard. Pour in olive oil, close lid, and shake vigorously until emulsified. Taste and correct as needed.
  • Cut steak into bite-size pieces.
  • To assemble salad, place 2-3 cups of salad greens on each of 4 large plates. Place cucumber, bell pepper, artichoke hearts, and red onion rings on top. Divide steak among salads. Top with chopped tomato. If using potatoes, place around edge of salad. Drizzle vinaigrette over salad. If desired, top with blue cheese crumbles.

Tips:

  • Choose the right steak: Select a steak that is at least 1 inch thick and has good marbling. This will ensure that the steak is tender and juicy.
  • Marinate the steak: Marinating the steak in a flavorful marinade will help to tenderize it and add flavor. You can use a simple marinade made with olive oil, garlic, herbs, and spices.
  • Cook the steak over high heat: This will help to sear the outside of the steak and keep the inside juicy. You can grill, pan-sear, or broil the steak.
  • Let the steak rest before slicing: This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the steak, making it more tender and flavorful.
  • Make a flavorful vinaigrette: The vinaigrette is a key component of this salad. Be sure to use a good quality olive oil and vinegar, and add some herbs and spices to taste.
  • Use fresh, seasonal ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better the salad will be. Look for ripe tomatoes, crisp lettuce, and fresh herbs.

Conclusion:

This grilled steak salad with caper vinaigrette is a delicious and healthy meal that is perfect for a summer cookout. The steak is tender and juicy, the vinaigrette is flavorful and tangy, and the salad is packed with fresh, seasonal ingredients. This salad is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
