Hot Steak Salad With Sliced Potato Herbs And Onion Food

BIG STEAK SALAD

Steps:

• For the dressing/marinade: Combine the oil, both vinegars, lime juice, soy, Worcestershire, chili oil, sugar, ginger, garlic, salt and pepper in a mason jar with the lid. Shake vigorously to combine; taste and adjust seasonings to taste.
• Place the steak in a plastic zipper bag. Pour in half the dressing/marinade and seal. Marinade for 5 to 10 minutes.
• For the onion strings: Slice the onions very thin. Place in a baking dish and cover with the buttermilk and soak. Combine the flour, salt, cayenne and black pepper and set aside.
• Heat the oil to 375 degrees in a large pot. Grab a handful of onions, throw into the flour mixture, tap to shake off excess and plunge into the hot oil. Fry for a few minutes and remove to a paper-towel-lined plate as soon as they are golden brown. Repeat until onions are gone.
• Grill (or saute) the steak over medium-high heat until medium-rare, about 2 minutes on each side. Remove from the heat and allow to rest. Slice the steak against the grain in thin slices.
• For the salad: In a large bowl, add the lettuce mix, blue cheese and tomatoes. Add a little of the remaining dressing/marinade and toss to combine. Add more if needed.
• Heap the salad on a plate, making sure to get plenty of blue cheese and tomatoes on each plate. Add half a steak to the top of each plate, then top the steak with onion strings.
• Serve immediately. Yum!

SPICED STEAK WITH ROASTED POTATOES & ONIONS

• Mix chili powder, oregano and 1/2 tsp. black pepper; rub onto both sides of steak. Refrigerate 30 min.
• Heat oven to 425ºF. Combine potatoes, onions, garlic, oil and remaining black pepper. Place in shallow foil-lined pan. Bake 40 to 45 min. or until potatoes are golden brown and onions are tender, stirring after 25 min.
• Chop chipotle pepper finely; place in small bowl. Add sour cream, barbecue sauce and 1-1/2 tsp. of the reserved adobo sauce; mix well. Refrigerate until ready to use.
• Heat grill. Grill steak 5 to 7 min. on each side or until medium doneness (160ºF), brushing with remaining 1 Tbsp. reserved adobo sauce for the last minute of grilling on each side. Remove meat from grill; let stand 10 min.
• Cut steak across the grain into thin slices. Serve with potatoes, onions and sour cream sauce.

WARM STEAK AND POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• Drizzle the steak with vegetable oil and very liberally, season the steak with salt and pepper, to taste. Let the steak sit out at room temperature for 30 to 60 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F and heat the grill to hot.
• In a small bowl, mix together the garlic, olive oil, and a generous pinch of salt and pepper. Lay the potatoes on a baking sheet and toss with the garlic-infused oil. Roast the potatoes for 18 minutes, or until deep golden, turning halfway through. Set the potatoes aside.
• Place the seasoned steak on the hot grill and grill the steak until an instant-read thermometer reads 125 degrees F for medium-rare, about 3 minutes per side. Remove the steak from the grill and let rest under tented foil.
• To assemble the salad: Divide the lettuce among 4 plates. Sprinkle on the halved tomatoes. Divide the warm potatoes among the plates. Drizzle with the Sour Cream-Bacon Dressing. Slice the steak thinly on the bias and fan on top. Top the salad with the shredded Cheddar cheese.
• In a small bowl, whisk together the mustard, vinegar, sour cream, and garlic powder. Drizzle in the oil and bacon fat to emulsify. Whisk in the chopped bacon, green onions, and season with salt, and pepper, to taste, if necessary.
