Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

One 5-ounce package baby spinach
4 large eggs
8 slices bacon, cut crosswise into 1/4-inch-thick pieces
One 3.5-ounce package cremini mushrooms, sliced
1 garlic clove, minced
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon honey
1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced

Steps:

  • Place the spinach in a large bowl and leave at room temperature. Bring a medium pot of water to a boil over medium-high heat. Use a slotted spoon to gently lower the eggs into the water. Boil until both the whites and yolks are set (hard-boiled), about 10 minutes. Transfer to a small bowl filled with ice water and cool completely. Once cool, peel the eggs and cut each into quarters.
  • Meanwhile, put the bacon in a large skillet and set over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and crisp, 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer the bacon with a slotted spoon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Remove half of the bacon fat to a small bowl and reserve.
  • Return the skillet and remaining bacon fat to medium heat. Add the mushrooms, garlic, 1/4 teaspoon of salt and a few grinds of black pepper to the same skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, 3 to 4 minutes. Pour in the reserved bacon fat, vinegar, mustard and honey and whisk until smooth and emulsified. Taste and season with more salt and pepper.
  • Pour the hot bacon dressing over the spinach and toss until evenly coated and slightly wilted. Transfer to a platter and top with the eggs, red onion and reserved bacon.

WILTED SPINACH SALAD WITH WARM APPLE CIDER AND BACON DRESSING



Wilted Spinach Salad with Warm Apple Cider and Bacon Dressing image

Categories     Salad     Fruit Juice     Appetizer     Quick & Easy     Apple     Bacon     Spinach     Fall     Gourmet

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 8

5 slices of lean bacon, chopped fine
2 tablespoons minced shallot
1/2 cup finely chopped apple
2 tablespoons cider vinegar
1 1/2 cups unpasteurized apple cider
1 teaspoon Dijon-style mustard
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 pound fresh spinach, coarse stems discarded and the leaves washed well and spun dry

Steps:

  • In a large skillet cook the bacon over moderate heat, turning it, until it is crisp, transfer it to paper towels to drain, and discard all but 2 tablespoons of the fat. In the fat remaining in the skillet cook the shallot and the apple over moderate heat, stirring, for 1 minute, add the vinegar, the cider, and salt and pepper to taste, and boil the mixture, stirring occasionally, for 8 to 10 minutes, or until it is reduced to about 1/2 cup. Whisk in the mustard, the oil, and salt and pepper to taste. In a large bowl toss the spinach with the warm dressing until it is just wilted and sprinkle the salad with the bacon.

Tips:

  • Choose the right steak. For this recipe, a flank steak or skirt steak is best. These cuts are relatively thin and cook quickly, making them ideal for a quick and easy meal.
  • Marinate the steak. Marinating the steak in a flavorful marinade will help to tenderize it and infuse it with flavor. You can use a simple marinade made with olive oil, garlic, and herbs, or you can get creative and try a more complex marinade.
  • Cook the steak over high heat. This will help to create a nice crust on the outside of the steak while keeping the inside juicy and tender. You can cook the steak in a skillet, on a grill, or even in the oven.
  • Let the steak rest before slicing. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the steak, resulting in a more tender and flavorful steak.
  • Serve the steak with your favorite sides. Some popular sides for steak include mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a simple salad.

Conclusion:

Vidalia onion steak and wilted spinach salad is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a quick and easy weeknight dinner. The steak is tender and flavorful, the onions are sweet and caramelized, and the spinach is wilted to perfection. This dish is sure to please everyone at your table.
