Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 pounds white mushrooms, trimmed and quartered
4 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
5 tablespoons olive oil
Coarse salt and ground pepper
1 tablespoon paprika
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon red-pepper flakes
2 flank steaks (1 1/2 pounds each)

Transfer steaks to a plate; refrigerate one steak for Tostadas, up to 2 days. Tent remaining steak with aluminum foil to keep warm.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together vinegar and remaining 2 tablespoons oil; season with salt and pepper. Add spinach; toss to combine. Thinly slice steak against the grain; serve with mushrooms and spinach salad.

Bacon Bit Burgers with Smoked Gouda and Steak House Smothered Onions and Baby Spinach Salad image

Categories     Salad     Sauce     Onion     Side     Gouda     Steak     Bacon     Spinach

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

6 smoky bacon slices, chopped into 1/2 inch pieces
6 tablespoons EVOO (extra-virgin olive oil) plus more for drizzling
2 yellow onions, 1/4 finely chopped, 1 3/4 thinly sliced
1 1/2 pounds ground sirloin
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce, eyeball it
1 teaspoon hot sauce, eyeball it
1 heaping tablespoon grill seasoning, such as McCormick's Montreal Steak Seasoning (a rounded palmful)
4 crusty Kaiser rolls, poppy seed or plain, split
4 slices smoked Gouda
1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon steak sauce, such as A-1 or Lea and Perrins
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
1 sack washed baby spinach leaves
Salt and black pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat the broiler and place a medium nonstick skillet over medium high heat.
  • Add the bacon and a drizzle of EVOO to the hot skillet and cook until crisp, 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate and drain off all but 1 tablespoon or so of the fat from the skillet. Return the pan to medium low heat and add the finely chopped onions to sweat out in the remaining fat, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Preheat a second medium nonstick skillet with 2 tablespoons of the EVOO 2 times around the pan, over medium heat. When the oil is hot, add all the thinly sliced onions and top them with a plate that can fit inside the skillet. Top the plate with a heavy can and smother the onions for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Lift the plate with tongs; it'll be hot!
  • Place the beef in a bowl and top with the Worcestershire, hot sauce, and grill seasoning.
  • Remove the chopped onions to the plate with the bacon to cool. Turn off the heat and reserve the pan. Once the onions are cool, add them and the bacon to the ground sirloin and combine well. Score the meat into 4 even sections and form 4 large patties. Add 1 tablespoon of EVOO to the skillet and reheat it over medium high heat. Add the burgers and cook for 4 minutes on each side for medium rare, minutes on each side for medium well.
  • Toast the split rolls under the hot broiler until golden. Place the burgers on the bun bottoms and top with the smoked Gouda. Remove the bun tops from the broiler pan. Return the burgers to the broiler just to melt the cheese, about 30 seconds.
  • Stir 1/4 cup of the steak sauce into the smothered onions. Top the burgers with the onions and set the bun tops in place.
  • Place the remaining tablespoon of steak sauce in a small salad bowl. Add about 1 tablespoon of balsamic vinegar and whisk in about 3 tablespoons of EVOO. Toss with the spinach, season with salt and pepper, and serve alongside the burgers.

Categories     Salad     Green Salad Recipes     Spinach Salad Recipes

Time 50m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 (2 pound) flat iron steak
salt and ground black pepper to taste
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 large red onion, thinly sliced
½ cup Italian salad dressing
3 large red bell peppers, cut into 1/2 inch strips
2 portobello mushrooms, sliced
½ cup red wine
4 cups baby spinach leaves
½ cup crumbled blue cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat; lightly oil the grate.
  • Season the flat iron steak on both sides with salt and pepper. Cook to desired degree of doneness on preheated grill, about 5 minutes per side for medium-rare. Let rest in a warm area while proceeding with the recipe.
  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Stir in the onion, and cook until it begins to soften, about 4 minutes. Pour in the Italian salad dressing, and bring to a boil, then stir in the red peppers and mushrooms. Reduce heat to medium, and cook until the peppers are tender, about 5 minutes.
  • Remove the vegetables from the skillet with a slotted spoon, and set aside. Increase the heat to medium-high, and add the red wine. Simmer the salad dressing and wine until it has reduced to a syrupy sauce, about 5 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, divide the spinach leaves onto serving plates. Thinly slice the flat iron steak across the grain. Spoon the warm, cooked vegetable mixture over the spinach leaves, then place the sliced steak on top. Spoon on the reduced red wine sauce, and finally, sprinkle with blue cheese.
