Steak Salad With Shallots And Red Wine Food

STEAK WITH RED WINE-SHALLOT SAUCE

Steps:

• Remove the steak from the refrigerator 30 minutes before cooking. Heat a large heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat. Pat the steak dry and season generously with salt and pepper on all sides. Place the steak, standing up on the strip of fat, in the pan and hold it with tongs until the fat renders and the pan is slick, about 2 minutes.
• Place the steak flat in the pan and sear until deep brown on one side, 4 to 5 minutes. Turn and cook on the other side until a thermometer inserted sideways into the thickest part registers 120 degrees for medium-rare, 3 to 4 more minutes. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest 10 minutes. Reserve the drippings in the skillet.
• Add the shallot to the drippings and cook over medium heat until golden, about 2 minutes. Add the wine and scrape up any browned bits with a wooden spoon. Bring to a boil and cook until reduced by half and slightly syrupy, about 7 minutes; remove from the heat. Whisk in the butter, one piece at a time, to make a glossy sauce. Add 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper or season to taste. Slice the steak against the grain and serve with the sauce.

STEAK SALAD WITH SHALLOT VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• Pat steak dry with paper towels; season generously with salt and pepper. Let sit at room temperature while you make the dressing or up to 1 hour.
• Meanwhile, whisk shallot, mustard, and vinegar in a medium bowl. Whisking constantly, gradually stream in 5 Tbsp. oil. Whisk until dressing is thick and emulsified, then whisk in 1 Tbsp. water; season with salt. Taste and add a splash of vinegar if needed.
• Heat a dry cast-iron skillet over medium-high. Pat steak dry again. Rub with remaining 1 Tbsp. oil. Cook until golden brown, about 3 minutes per side. Using tongs, turn steak onto fat cap and cook until browned, about 3 minutes. Turn steak back onto a flat side and cook, turning every minute or so, until medium-rare (an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part should register 125°), about 4 minutes longer. Transfer to a cutting board; let rest 10 minutes.
• Wipe out skillet and let cool 2 minutes. Set skillet over medium-high; cook corn, thyme, and butter, stirring occasionally, until corn is browned in spots, 5-7 minutes.
• Arrange lettuce on a platter; season with salt and pepper. Whisk dressing to reincorporate and drizzle half over lettuce. Toss cucumbers and tomatoes in a medium bowl; season with salt and pepper. Drizzle in 2 Tbsp. dressing; toss again. Spoon over lettuce. Thinly slice steak crosswise; arrange on top. Drizzle remaining dressing over and top with corn.

GRILLED FLANK STEAK WITH SHALLOT AND RED WINE SAUCE

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, saute the shallots in 2 tablespoons of the olive oil until lightly caramelized, about 5 to 7 minutes. Raise the heat to high and add the red wine and reduce by half. Add the broth and reduce by half. Check for seasoning, and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Keep warm on low heat.
• Brush the flank steak on both sides with 2 tablespoons of the olive oil and season with the salt and pepper. Place on the center of grill and sear 5 to 8 minutes per side for rare to medium rare, testing by pressing the meat with a finger: The spongier the meat feels, the rarer it is cooked. Remove from the grill and allow to rest, very loosely tented with aluminum foil, 5 to 10 minutes, to allow the juices to reabsorb into the meat. Slice the flank steak on the diagonal and place on a large platter. Finish the sauce by swirling in the chunks of cold butter, then top the steak with some of the sauce and serve the rest on the side.
