CHARRED ROMAINE SPEARS WITH GRILLED BISON NY STRIP AND BBQ VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• These first two steps can be prepared ahead of time and will keep in the refrigerator for 1-2 days until you are ready to grill. Keep all of the ingredients separate. If you do these steps ahead, do not cut the avocado until you are ready to eat because it will oxidize and turn brown.
• To make BBQ Vinaigrette: Combine BBQ sauce, olive oil, vinegar, garlic and pepper. Wisk to combine and set aside.
• For Salad Garnishes: Cut radishes into quarters. Cut cucumbers into 2 inch julienne strips. Remove pit and skin of avocado then cut into thick slices or chunks. Thinly slice ½ of a medium red onion and crumble the blue cheese.
• To Make Grilled Lettuce Spears and the NY Strip Steaks: Preheat grill on high for 15-20 minutes. Brush the flat side of the romaine spears liberally with the BBQ vinaigrette and place on grill BBQ side down for 5-6 minutes. Remove immediately to prevent too much charring and return to refrigerator to keep cold. Toss NY strips in 3 tablespoons olive oil, garlic, pepper and sea salt. Char on grill 4 minutes the first side, and 3 minutes on the second side or until you can see the juices from the steak coming to the surface. Remove from the grill immediately and place on a platter to rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
• Assemble the salad with the garnishes and dress the romaine with additional BBQ vinaigrette if needed. Slice the NY strips thinly just before serving. Enjoy!

GRILLED ROMAINE

Steps:

• Build a fire in your grill, leaving one side free of coals. When coals are covered with gray ash and the temperature is medium (you can hold your hand 5 inches above the coals for 5 to 7 seconds), you are ready to cook. (For a gas grill, turn all burners to high, lower cover and heat for 15 minutes, then turn burners to medium.)
• Meanwhile, make the dressing: Put the minced garlic into a bowl, and add the minced anchovies. Using a whisk, mix and mash these ingredients together until they form a paste. Add the mayonnaise and the mustard and whisk. Add the olive oil, whisking all the while, and then the vinegar. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Set aside.
• Make the salad: Drizzle the olive oil over the quartered heads of lettuce. Lightly grill these directly over the hot coals for 15 to 20 seconds on each side, until they are lightly golden, then remove to the cool side of the grill. Using a pastry brush or a small spoon, paint the dressing over the lettuce, making sure to get dressing between the leaves. Sprinkle the lettuce with Parmesan and cover the grill for 1 or 2 minutes to allow the cheese to melt and the lettuce to soften further. Remove lettuce to a platter and serve.
