Grilled Steak Roasted Grape Salad Food

GRILLED STEAK SALAD

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Toss the celery, 1 teaspoon olive oil, and salt and pepper to taste on a foil-lined rimmed baking sheet; roast until tender, about 20 minutes.
• Whisk the mayonnaise, 2 teaspoons olive oil, the lime juice, honey, hot sauce and 1 tablespoon water in a large bowl. Add the roasted celery and toss. Add the lettuce and watercress but don't toss.
• Heat a large grill pan or cast-iron skillet over high heat. Rub the steak with the remaining 1 teaspoon olive oil and season with salt and pepper. When the pan is very hot, add the steak and cook, undisturbed, about 3 to 4 minutes per side for medium rare. Transfer to a cutting board. Add the scallions to the pan and cook until charred, about 2 minutes per side.
• Slice the steak against the grain, discarding the tough membrane that runs through the center. Add the steak and tomatoes to the bowl with the salad and toss to coat. Divide among plates.

GRILLED STEAK WITH GREEK CORN SALAD

Steps:

• Preheat a grill to high. Whisk the olive oil, vinegar, herbs, honey, 3/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a medium bowl. Remove 2 tablespoons of the vinaigrette to a large bowl; set aside. Add the cucumber, tomatoes, red onion, feta and olives to the bowl with the remaining vinaigrette; toss to coat.
• Grill the corn, turning occasionally, until charred in spots, about 8 minutes; remove to a cutting board. Meanwhile, season the steaks with salt and pepper. Working in batches if necessary, grill the steaks until the edges start browning, about 2 minutes. Flip and cook until browned on the other side, about 30 seconds. Transfer to the bowl with the reserved vinaigrette; toss to coat.
• Cut off the corn kernels and add to the salad. Serve the steak with the corn salad.

GRILLED STEAK SALAD

Steps:

• For the steak and peaches: Put the pineapple juice, brown sugar, soy sauce, mirin, sesame oil, garlic, scallions, onion and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a blender and blend until smooth. Combine three-quarters of the marinade with the flank steak in a large resealable plastic freezer bag. Combine the remaining marinade with the peaches in a separate resealable plastic freezer bag. Refrigerate both at least 45 minutes and up to 4 hours.
• Prepare a grill for high heat.
• For the salad: Using the tongs from a Food Network 17-piece Grilling Tool Set, grill the romaine cut-side down until lightly charred, about 1 minute. Transfer to a large platter. Put a stainless-steel mesh Food Network Grilling Tray on the grill. Add the onions and grill, tossing occasionally, until tender and charred in spots, about 5 minutes.
• Remove the steak from the marinade, shake off any excess, and put on a baking sheet. Sprinkle both sides with salt and pepper. Remove the peaches from the marinade to a plate. Grill the steak until well browned, about 5 minutes per side for medium rare. Set aside on a cutting board to rest. Brush the peaches with olive oil and grill cut-side down just until grill-marks appear, about 1 minute.
• For the dressing: Meanwhile, whisk together the lime juice, olive oil, pineapple juice and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a small bowl until combined.
• Thinly slice the steak against the grain. Cut the peaches into thick wedges.
• Scatter the cucumbers, tomatoes, onions, peaches, cilantro and basil over the romaine. Top with the steak and sprinkle with the sesame seeds. Drizzle with the dressing.

ROASTED GRAPES WITH BALSAMIC AND THYME

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F with a rack in the center.
• Wash and dry the grapes and pick them from their stems.
• Place grapes into a roasting pan that can accommodate them in a single layer, give or take.
• Pour in the olive oil and balsamic vinegar and sprinkle on the thyme, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat evenly.
• Roast for 25 minutes, until grapes are hot and jammy.
• If you like, you can decant the pan juices into a small pot and simmer them down over medium heat into a flavorful syrup that's as thick as you prefer.

ROASTED GRAPES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• Put the grapes on a baking sheet and toss with the olive oil. Roast until the grapes burst and get soft, wilted and a little charred, 25 to 30 minutes.
• Serve on peanut butter toast or crostini with cream cheese, or add them to a salad. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.

GRILLED STEAK SALAD

Steps:

• First, make a rub for the steak, using the oregano, ground cinnamon, garlic, salt, and pepper. Mix in a small amount of oil so it adheres to flank steak. Grill flank steak 5 minutes per side for rare. Cook pepper approximately 10 minutes, turning to cook evenly. Remove from grill and allow pepper and steak to sit for 5 minutes before slicing. Cut steak and pepper into strips.
• While steak is cooking, prepare salad by mixing lettuce, pecans, grape tomatoes, cucumbers, feta cheese, mint and basil.
• For vinaigrette, whisk together balsamic vinegar, olive oil, mustard, sugar, salt and pepper to taste, and a dash of cinnamon (if desired).
• To assemble salad, arrange lettuce mixture in large bowl or on individual serving platters. Top each with equal amounts of pepper and flank steak. Drizzle with vinaigrette.
