25-MINUTE FLANK STEAK WITH CHARRED VIDALIA ONION SALAD

Steps:

• Preheat a very large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until it just begins to smoke.
• While the pan is heating, slice the onions into 1/4-inch-thick rings and toss with 1 tablespoon of the oil, 1/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a medium bowl. Add the onions to the skillet and cook, undisturbed, until they char slightly, about 2 minutes. Stir occasionally with a wooden spoon until they are further charred and slightly softened but still crunchy, 3 to 4 minutes more. Transfer to a plate.
• Stir together the remaining 1 tablespoon oil and the fish sauce in the medium bowl that the onions were in. Add the radishes, watercress, cilantro and cooked onions and toss until well coated. Allow the mixture to sit at least 5 minutes, so the juices from the onion combine with the dressing.
• Wipe out the skillet the onions cooked in and return it to medium-high heat. Sprinkle the steak with 3/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper and put it into the hot skillet. Cook until well browned on one the bottom, 4 to 5 minutes; flip and cook until medium rare, 4 to 5 minutes more. Transfer to a cutting board and allow the steak to rest for a few minutes, then slice thinly against the grain.
• Divide the salad mixture among 4 bowls. Top each bowl with slices of steak.

QUICK VIDALIA ONION, MUSHROOM AND PARSLEY SALAD

Steps:

• Halve the onion and slice as thinly and evenly as you can, no thicker than 1/8 inch. (A mandoline works well for this, but you can do it with a sharp knife and some patience.) Add the onions, mushroom slices and parsley to a large bowl.
• In a small bowl, whisk the lemon juice and olive oil. Ladle the dressing over the salad and toss to combine. Season with salt and pepper.

GRILLED CORN-SWEET ONION SALAD

Steps:

• Preheat grill. Brush the blanched corn with oil and season with salt and pepper to taste. Grill until slightly charred on all sides, about 2 minutes. Remove from the grill and with a sharp knife, scrape the kernels into a medium bowl.
• Combine the vinegar, mustard, and garlic in a large bowl and slowly whisk in the remaining 1/2 cup of olive oil until emulsified. Add the corn kernels, bell peppers, onion, tomatoes, jalapeno, and chives, and toss to coat with the dressing. Season with salt and pepper.

GRILLED CORN AND TOMATO-SWEET ONION SALAD WITH FRESH BASIL DRESSING AND CRUMBLED BLUE CHEESE

Steps:

• Combine the vinegar, basil, sugar, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, 1/4 teaspoon of pepper and oil in a blender and blend until smooth. Can be made 2 hours in advance and refrigerated. Bring to room temperature before using.
• Combine the corn kernels, onion and tomato in a large bowl. Add the dressing and toss to coat, season with salt and pepper. Let sit at room temperature 30 minutes before serving. Top with crumbled blue cheese and garnish with basil sprigs just before serving. Salad can be made 1 day in advance and served cold or at room temperature.

GRITS WITH CORN AND VIDALIA ONION

Steps:

• In a saucepan, heat the oil over medium heat; add in onion; stir/saute until transparent, about 2 minutes.
• Add in corn; stir/saute, until kernels become soft, about 5 minutes.
• Add in the milk, water, and 1 teaspoon salt; bring mixture to a boil over high heat.
• Whisk in the grits; decrease heat to low, and simmer, whisking occasionally, until the grits are creamy and thick, 45-60 minutes.
• Stir in the butter, cheese, parsley, and chives.
• Taste and adjust for seasoning with salt and pepper.

VIDALIA'S ONION & BEET SALAD

Steps:

• Put beets into two separate saucepans (to keep colors intact). Cover with water and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer beets 15 minutes or until tender. Rinse beets separately under cold running water. Rub off skins with an old kitchen towel or paper towels. Cut beets in quarters.
• Whisk honey, vinegar and thyme together in a small bowl. Slowly whisk in olive oil, salt and pepper until blended.
• Combine beets and 1/4 cup vinaigrette.
• Spread each baguette slice with goat cheese and broil until brown on the top. Combine lettuce, beets, onions and 1/3 cup vinaigrette; toss well. Serve with goat cheese crostini. You'll have leftover vinaigrette.

CARROT AND RED ONION SALAD

Steps:

• Put the carrots and onion in a medium bowl. Drizzle the olive oil and lemon juice over the vegetables. Season with salt and a pinch of red pepper flakes. Toss well to coat with the dressing. Add the cilantro and toss just to combine. Serve immediately or refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
