Steak Fried Onions And Potatoes Salad Bowl With Blue Cheese Vinaigrette Food

STEAK SALAD

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine the romaine lettuce, Belgian endive, red onion, baby arugula and cherry tomatoes, and half of the cheese. Toss the salad with enough vinaigrette to coat. Season the salad with salt and pepper, to taste. Arrange the salad on a platter.
• Cut the steaks crosswise into thin slices. Arrange the steak slices atop the salad and sprinkle with the remaining cheese. Drizzle more vinaigrette over the steak slices and serve.
• Mix the vinegar, lemon juice, honey, salt, and pepper in a blender. With the machine running, gradually blend in the oil.

BLUE-CHEESE STEAK AND ENDIVE SALAD FOR TWO

Steps:

• In a small bowl, stir together butter, blue cheese and shallot, and set aside.
• Season steaks well with salt and pepper on both sides and set aside.
• Meanwhile, assemble your salad: In a large bowl, gently toss together the endive leaves, radishes and fennel. In a small bowl, whisk together the white-wine vinegar, orange zest, olive oil, parsley leaves, chives and tarragon, season to taste with salt and pepper and set aside.
• Heat a large cast-iron pan over medium-high heat until very hot, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the canola oil. When it shimmers, add the hanger steak and let it cook, undisturbed, until it begins to crisp and brown on one side, 3 to 4 minutes. Flip and finish cooking about 3 minutes more or until a meat thermometer inserted in the thickest part reads 130 degrees for medium-rare.
• Move the steak to a cutting board, and spread with 2 tablespoons or so of the blue cheese butter and let rest 5 to 7 minutes. Slice steaks against the grain and finish with flaky salt, if desired. Plate the steak and serve with the salad alongside, spooning the dressing on top of the salad.

NEW YORK STRIP WITH BLUE CHEESE, VIDALIA ONION JAM AND WARM POTATO SALAD WITH MUSTARD VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• For the onion jam: Heat grill to high. Heat a cast iron skillet until hot, but not smoking. Add the drippings, heat, and then the onions, garlic, jalapeno, wine, vinegar, cassis, grenadine and salt and pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until the liquid mixture is thickened and jam-like, about 20 minutes. Taste and season with honey, salt and pepper. Stir in the parsley, transfer to a bowl and let cool to room temperature.
• For the vinaigrette: Put the potatoes in a large saucepan, cover with cold water and season with 1 tablespoon kosher salt. Bring to a boil and cook until tender when pierced with a knife. Drain, let cool for a few minutes and quarter
• While the potatoes are cooking, whisk together the drippings, vinegar, mustard, honey, garlic, salt and pepper. Slowly whisk in the olive oil, and then stir in the chopped basil and parsley.
• Add the warm potatoes and the bacon to the vinaigrette and gently fold to combine. Serve with the steak.
• For the steak: Heat the grill to high. Mix together the salt, pepper and thyme in a small bowl. Brush the steaks with oil on both sides and season with the salt mixture. Grill steaks until golden brown and slightly charred on both sides and cooked to medium-rare doneness.
• Just before the steaks are done, use a fork to mash the cheese with some of the cream, so that it is chunky but a bit creamy. Mound some on each steak, and let melt very briefly, so the steaks don't overcook. Remove to a platter and let rest 5 minutes before serving. Top with parsley sprigs and serve.

STEAK, FRIED ONIONS, AND POTATOES SALAD BOWL WITH BLUE CHEESE VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• Preheat a large griddle or grill pan over high heat. Coat the meat with EVOO, then season on both sides with grill seasoning. Cook the meat for 3 minutes on each side, then let it rest for 10 minutes to cool a bit.
• While the meat cooks, assemble the dressing: In a medium bowl, whisk together the Worcestershire, mustard, and red wine vinegar. Stream in about 1/3 cup EVOO while whisking constantly. Crumble the blue cheese into the bowl and stir it into the dressing. Season the dressing with salt and pepper.
• Chop the rested steak into bite-size pieces. Place the chopped greens in a salad bowl and toss with the chopped steak, potato sticks, fried onions, and blue cheese dressing. Yum-o!

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!

DIJON BALSAMIC STEAK SALAD WITH BLUE CHEESE BUTTER

Steps:

• Soak the onions in a bowl of cold water for 10 minutes (this helps remove some of the pungent bite).
• Pierce the steaks with a fork and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Coat them in 3 tablespoons of the French Style Dijon Balsamic Vinaigrette in a shallow bowl or baking dish. Set aside while you prepare the blue cheese butter and salad.
• Mash the blue cheese, butter and 1 tablespoon of the parsley in a small bowl and season with salt and pepper.
• Drain the onion and pat dry. Toss with the celery and the remaining 2 tablespoons parsley in another bowl. Season with salt and pepper.
• Heat the oil in a large cast-iron skillet over high heat. Cook the steaks until browned on the bottom, 3 to 5 minutes. Flip and continue to cook 3 to 5 more minutes for medium-rare. Transfer to a plate and let rest 5 minutes.
• Divide the celery salad among 4 plates. Top each with a steak and drizzle with any pan juices or collected juices on the plate. Top each steak with a mound of blue cheese butter. Drizzle with the remaining vinaigrette.

STEAK AND FRIES WITH PICKLED ONIONS

Steps:

• For the pickled red onions:
• In a small saucepan, bring the vinegar and sugar to a boil over medium-high heat. Put the red onion slices in a small glass bowl and pour the hot liquid over them. Set aside to steep and cool for at least 1 hour.
• For the steak and fries:
• Put the steaks in a resealable plastic bag and pack the blue cheese around them. Push as much air as you can from the bag and zip it closed. Refrigerate the steaks for 12 hours or overnight.
• In a large skillet set over medium-high heat, melt 1 tablespoon of the butter and, when bubbling hot, sear the mushrooms until golden brown, 4 to 5 minutes. In a glass mixing bowl, stir together the vinegar, soy sauce, truffle oil, and ginger. Add the scallions and browned mushrooms. Stir to mix and coat the mushrooms with the marinade. Set aside at room temperature while you prepare the steaks.
• Remove the steaks from the bag and scrape off the blue cheese. Pat them dry with paper towels. Season both sides of the steaks with the garlic powder and salt and pepper and set them aside to come to room temperature.
• Preheat the oven to 400°F.
• Heat a large, heavy, oven-safe skillet-I like an old cast-iron pan with character-over medium-high heat and, when hot, melt the remaining 3 tablespoons butter. When the butter melts, add the smashed garlic, thyme, and rosemary. Stir these around a little, and then put the steaks in the pan. Cook the steaks for 3 minutes, and then turn over and cook for about 3 minutes on the other side, basting them with the melted butter as if you are in a race.
• Transfer the skillet to the oven and cook for a few minutes longer, or until an instant-read thermometer inserted in a thick part of a steak registers 130° to 135°F. I insist on medium-pink meat with a touch of gray on the inside, and then nicely caramelized but not crunchy on the outside.
• Let the meat rest for about 10 minutes. Slather more butter on the meat as it rests.
• Serve the steaks with the veggies and pickled red onions.
• Do Ahead
• The pickled onions and their brine will keep in a lidded container in the refrigerator for at least 2 weeks. (I prefer glass containers for pickles.)

GRILLED STEAK AND ONION SALAD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. On a rimmed baking sheet, toss bread with 2 teaspoons oil and Parmesan, then season with salt and pepper. Bake until golden brown, 7 minutes.
• Heat a grill pan or cast-iron skillet over medium-high. Season steak with salt and pepper. Drizzle onions with 1 teaspoon oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill steak and onions until steak is medium-rare and onions are tender, 5 to 7 minutes, flipping once. Let steak rest 5 minutes before thinly slicing against the grain.
• Meanwhile, in a large bowl, whisk together mustard, vinegar, and 2 tablespoons oil. Add arugula and season with salt and pepper. Add onions, steak, and croutons and toss to combine. Serve immediately.

STEAK SALAD WITH BLUE CHEESE VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• Season the steak with lots of pepper and a little salt. Cook on the barbecue or under the grill for 2-3 mins each side for medium-rare, or to your liking. Let sit for 10 mins, then cut into slices.
• For the dressing, in a small bowl, whisk together the zest, juice, oil, tarragon, shallot, cheese and some salt and pepper.
• Cook the beans in boiling water until just tender. Drain and rinse under cold water, then drain thoroughly.
• Divide the chicory leaves between two plates and top with the beans, walnuts and steak slices. Pour the dressing over the salad just before eating.
