Steak With Blue Cheese Butter And Celery Salad Food

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.

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.

CELERY BLUE CHEESE SALAD
