GRILLED BEEF SALAD

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h40m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 21

One 2-pound top round London broil
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon whole-grain mustard
4 cloves garlic, crushed
2 sprigs fresh thyme
1 tablespoon kosher salt
2 teaspoons lemon pepper
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon whole-grain mustard
1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
Juice of 1 lemon
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 to 2 tablespoons heavy cream
One 5-ounce container blue cheese crumbles
4 cups spinach leaves
2 cups torn romaine leaves
2 cups torn salad greens
1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved
2 scallions, sliced
1 red bell pepper, very thinly sliced
1 small red onion, very thinly sliced

Steps:

  • For the beef: Put the beef in a resealable plastic bag. Mix together the olive oil, mustard, garlic and thyme in a small bowl. Pour over the beef, seal the bag and refrigerate for anywhere from 20 minutes to overnight. Take the meat out of the refrigerator about 30 minutes before you are ready to cook.
  • To cook, heat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Wipe the meat dry and season well with the salt and lemon pepper. Grill the meat for about 4 minutes per side, depending on how you like your beef cooked. Cover and set aside to rest for 15 to 20 minutes before serving.
  • For the salad: In a jar, shake together the olive oil, mustard, thyme leaves, lemon juice and a pinch each salt and pepper. Add 1 or 2 tablespoons of heavy cream and shake again. Add 2 tablespoons of the blue cheese crumbles and shake once more. Set aside while you assemble the salad and slice the meat.
  • Put the spinach, romaine and salad greens in a large bowl. Add the tomatoes, scallions, red pepper and red onion. Season lightly with salt and pepper. Toss with a little of the dressing. Add the remaining blue cheese crumbles (about 2/3 cup) and toss again.
  • To serve: Slice the beef thinly against the grain. Place a pile of the salad on 1 big platter and drape the meat over the salad. Serve extra dressing on the side.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of beef: For this recipe, flank steak or skirt steak works best. These cuts are relatively thin and cook quickly, making them ideal for grilling.
  • Marinate the beef: Marinating the beef in a mixture of soy sauce, garlic, ginger, and brown sugar helps to tenderize the meat and add flavor.
  • Grill the beef over high heat: This will help to create a nice char on the outside of the beef while keeping the inside juicy and tender.
  • Slice the beef thinly against the grain: This will make the beef more tender and easier to chew.
  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh herbs, vegetables, and spices will give your salad the best flavor.
  • Don't overdress the salad: A little bit of dressing goes a long way. You don't want to drown out the flavors of the beef and vegetables.

Conclusion:

This spicy grilled beef salad is a delicious and refreshing dish that is perfect for a summer cookout. The beef is flavorful and tender, the vegetables are crisp and refreshing, and the dressing is light and tangy. This salad is sure to be a hit with your friends and family.
