Our New Favorite Dinner

This dinner is a combination of several recipes and my own twist. But it is hands down the best steak salad you will ever eat!

Steak Salad

For the Steak:
NY strip Steak 1 per 1-2 people depending on how many big eaters you may have
1/2 stick unsalted butter per 2 steaks - melt and clarify
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
Salt, pepper to taste

Pat the steaks dry. Mix the clarified butter and oil together. Salt and pepper the steaks on both sides. Then brush with the butter/oil mix. Set aside until your grill is ready.
Grill each side for approximately 3 minutes or until cooked to your liking. Let rest for at least 5 minutes prior to slicing thinly to top the salad.

For the salad

Heirloom tomatoes
Avocado
Shallot
Olive Oil
Lemon
Dijon Mustard
Heirloom lettuces or your favorite green (arugula, spinach baby greens would work well too)

I layered the lettuces then the tomatoes then the avocado. I sliced the shallot thinly and then whisked up a lemon vinaigrette with some zest, olive oil, dijon mustard and the shallot. After I lightly dressed each salad I spooned the shallots on top of the steaks.


This is delicious! We also made a version with romain where we grilled each of the heads of romaine first and that was all sorts of amazing!
