STEAK PANZANELLA SALAD



Steak Panzanella Salad image

Provided by Food Network

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 pints grape or small cherry tomatoes, halved
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
Two 8-ounce boneless New York strip steaks
One 11.25-ounce box frozen Texas toast (about 8 slices)
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
10 large fresh basil leaves

Steps:

  • Place the tomatoes in a medium bowl. Sprinkle 1 teaspoon salt over the tomatoes and stir until coated. Set aside for 1 hour.
  • Preheat a grill for cooking over medium-high heat. Brush the grill grates with the vegetable oil. Sprinkle the steaks generously with salt and pepper on all sides. Place the steaks on the grill and cook, flipping only once, about 4 minutes per side or until desired degree of doneness is reached. Set aside to rest for 10 minutes.
  • Prepare the Texas toast on the grill, grilling about 2 minutes more per side than the package instructions call for to make the bread extra-crispy. Cut the toast into bite-sized pieces and set aside.
  • Pour off any juice that has collected from the tomatoes into a large bowl for the vinaigrette. Whisk in the vinegar and mustard. While continuously whisking, slowly pour in the olive oil until the mixture is throughly combined and emulsified. Add the tomatoes to the vinaigrette.
  • Cut the steaks into 1-inch cubes, discarding any large pieces of fat. Add the cubes of steak and toast to the tomatoes and vinaigrette and tear 5 basil leaves into the bowl. Toss gently to combine.
  • Pour the salad onto a serving platter and tear the remaining basil leaves over the top. Serve immediately.

Provided by Sophie Godwin - Cookery writer

Categories     Dinner, Main course

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 12

1large unwaxed lemon , cut into thin rounds, then halved
2 ½ tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp za'atar
2 pitta breads , torn into pieces
200g leftover cooked bavette steak , thinly sliced
600g mixed tomatoes , smaller ones left whole, larger ones halved or cut into wedges
100g feta , crumbled
½ cucumber , halved and sliced
1 red onion , finely chopped
100g Kalamata olives , stoned and roughly chopped
small pack mint , leaves picked and roughly chopped
extra virgin olive oil , for drizzling

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/ gas 6. Put the lemon slices on a baking sheet lined with baking parchment. Drizzle over 1 /2 tbsp oil and put in the oven on the highest shelf to roast for 15-20 mins, until the lemon has released its natural sugars and the peel has softened and begun to caramelise. Keep an eye on them - you may need to turn the tray so that they cook evenly.
  • Meanwhile, mix together the remaining oil and za'atar in a bowl, then toss in the pitta and use your hands to coat in the spiced oil. Spread out on a baking tray and roast for 15-20 mins until crisp and golden.
  • About 5 mins before the lemons are ready, wrap the bavette in a foil parcel and put in the oven alongside the pitta bread to warm through.
  • Mix all the other salad ingredients together in a large bowl. Add a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil and season with black pepper and a little sea salt (the olives and feta will add salt so you shouldn't need much).
  • Add the lemons, spiced pitta and warmed bavette. Mix everything together with your hands, then divide between plates or serve sharing-style on a large platter.
