Steak Salad With Goat Cheese Food

STEAK SALAD WITH PEACHES AND GOAT CHEESE

Steps:

• Mince the garlic and place it on a cutting board. Sprinkle the salt over it and using a flexible knife mash them together to create a paste. Put the paste in a small glass bowl. Add the rest of the ingredients for the marinade and stir well to combine.
• Place the trimmed steak in a shallow dish and spoon the marinade over it. Turn to coat the other side as well. Cover with a plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 3 hours, turning the steak a couple of times to ensure an even distribution of the marinade.
• Remove the steak from the refrigerator and let it stand at room temperature for 20 minutes. Prepare the grill and, when ready, grill the steak over medium-high, direct heat, for about 4-5 minutes. Using tongs, turn the steak once and cook for 3-4 more minutes or so, depending on how you like the steak done. Place the steak on a cutting board, cover loosely with foil, and let it stand for 4 minutes. Slice into thin strips.
• Prepare the dressing by placing all the ingredients in a jar and shaking it well.
• Arrange the greens in a platter and top them with the steak, the peaches and the goat cheese. Drizzle with the dressing, mix lightly, scatter the pistachios over it and serve.

GRILLED STEAK SALAD WITH VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• Brush steak with olive oil and season to taste with salt and pepper. Grill over medium-high heat to a little rarer than desired doneness (around 10-15 minutes for rare). Set steak aside.
• In a pint size mason jar (or other non-reactive container with a tight lid), combine shallots and red wine vinegar. Let sit for 5-10 minutes, then add chives, salt & pepper to taste, and mustard. Pour in olive oil, close lid, and shake vigorously until emulsified. Taste and correct as needed.
• Cut steak into bite-size pieces.
• To assemble salad, place 2-3 cups of salad greens on each of 4 large plates. Place cucumber, bell pepper, artichoke hearts, and red onion rings on top. Divide steak among salads. Top with chopped tomato. If using potatoes, place around edge of salad. Drizzle vinaigrette over salad. If desired, top with blue cheese crumbles.

TOMATO STEAK WITH BAKED GOAT CHEESE AND HERB SALAD

Steps:

• In a small, shallow bowl, mix the bread crumbs with salt and pepper, to taste. In another small, shallow bowl, beat the egg just until blended. Dip each goat cheese round in the egg, and then in bread crumbs, patting the crumbs in place. Cover and refrigerate the coated cheese rounds for about 15 minutes.
• Center the tomato slices on 4 salad plates and season with salt and pepper.
• Heat a large nonstick skillet over moderately high heat and pour in 2 tablespoons olive oil. When the oil is almost smoking, add the cheese rounds. Cook until lightly browned, about 45 seconds. Turn them over and cook on the other side until the cheese just feels quivery, about 45 seconds longer, depending on the thickness of the rounds. Place a cheese round on each tomato slice.
• In a bowl, toss the herbs with a light drizzle of olive oil, a splash of red wine vinegar, and salt and pepper, to taste. Mound the herbs on top of the cheese, dividing them evenly. Serve immediately.
• Michael's Notes: This salad looks best when the tomato slice and the goat cheese slice are about the same size. So if you can only find goat cheese in small logs, you may want to serve 2 goat cheese rounds to each diner and perch them on slices of smaller tomatoes.
• Be sure you take all the stems off the herbs carefully so your guests can enjoy just the soft leaves.

BEST STEAK SALAD WITH CREAMY BALSAMIC VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• Take the steak out of your fridge and evenly coat both sides with the salt and pepper. Add all the salad ingredients to a salad bowl.
• Heat a cast iron or heavy-bottomed pan over high heat. Drizzle the avocado oil over both sides of the steak. When the pan starts to smoke, add the steak and let it cook undisturbed for 2 minutes. Flip the steak over and let it cook for 2-3 minutes more. Transfer the steak to a cutting board and let it rest.
• While the steak is resting, whisk the salad dressing ingredients in a small bowl. Thin the dressing with up to a tablespoon of water, as needed. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss.
• Thinly slice the steak across the grain and serve it over the salad.
