GRILLED STEAK SALAD WITH VINAIGRETTE



Grilled Steak Salad With Vinaigrette image

I put this together for dinner tonight, and it was so good! It was very hearty and filling, with bread and cheese as an accompaniment. Amounts are just estimated guidelines. Use a good quality Dijon mustard, ideally a strong, but not too vinegary, mustard. Prep time is an estimated time for all the chopping etc listed in the ingredients. You can prepare the vegetables, steak, and vinaigrette in advance and refrigerate until ready to use--I'd say use the same day, though, or there will be some loss in quality.

GRILLED STEAK SALAD WITH PICKLE PEPPER VINAIGRETTE



Grilled Steak Salad with Pickle Pepper Vinaigrette image

Can be prepared in 45 minutes or less.

Yield Serves 2 generously

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 tablespoons white-wine vinegar
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon sugar
1/4 cup finely diced red bell pepper
1/4 cup finely diced peeled and seeded cucumber
2 tablespoons finely diced dill pickle
2 tablespoons chopped shallot
2 tablespoons drained capers
1 bunch watercress
a 1 1/4-inch-thick boneless beef top loin (strip) steak (about 1 pound)

Steps:

  • Prepare grill.
  • In a bowl whisk together vinegar, mustard, oil, sugar, and salt to taste. Stir in remaining vinaigrette ingredients and season with pepper.
  • Discard tough stems from watercress. Season steak with salt and pepper and grill on an oiled rack set 5 to 6 inches over glowing coals about 3 minutes on each side for medium-rare. (Alternatively, grill steak in a hot well-seasoned ridged grill pan over moderately high heat.) Transfer steak to a cutting board and let stand 5 minutes. Holding a sharp knife at a 45° angle, cut steak into about 12 thin slices.
  • Spoon vinaigrette generously onto 2 large plates and mound watercress in center. Arrange steak slices on watercress.

Tips:

  • Use a quality cut of steak for the best flavor. Look for a steak that is well-marbled and has a good amount of fat.
  • Season the steak liberally with salt and pepper before grilling. This will help to develop a nice crust and flavor.
  • Grill the steak over medium-high heat for 5-7 minutes per side, or until it reaches your desired doneness.
  • Let the steak rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving. This will help to keep the juices in the steak.
  • Make sure the caper vinaigrette is well-shaken before using. This will help to emulsify the ingredients and create a smooth, flavorful dressing.
  • Serve the grilled steak salad immediately, while the steak is still hot. This will help to keep the salad warm and flavorful.

Conclusion:

This grilled steak salad with caper vinaigrette is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a summer cookout. The steak is cooked to perfection and the caper vinaigrette is a tangy and flavorful dressing that complements the steak and salad perfectly. This salad is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
