Cider House Steak Salad Recipes

STEAK SALAD

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine the romaine lettuce, Belgian endive, red onion, baby arugula and cherry tomatoes, and half of the cheese. Toss the salad with enough vinaigrette to coat. Season the salad with salt and pepper, to taste. Arrange the salad on a platter.
• Cut the steaks crosswise into thin slices. Arrange the steak slices atop the salad and sprinkle with the remaining cheese. Drizzle more vinaigrette over the steak slices and serve.
• Mix the vinegar, lemon juice, honey, salt, and pepper in a blender. With the machine running, gradually blend in the oil.

STEAK SALAD

Steps:

• Preheat grill for high heat.
• Lightly oil grate. Place steak on grill and cook for 3 to 5 minutes per side or until desired doneness is reached. Remove from heat and let sit until cool enough to handle. Slice steak into bite size pieces.
• In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, vinegar, lemon juice, garlic, salt, pepper and Worcestershire sauce. Mix in the cheese. Cover and place dressing in refrigerator.
• Onto chilled plates arrange the lettuce, tomato, pepper, onion and olives. Top with steak and drizzle with dressing. Serve with crusty grilled French bread. Enjoy!

STEAK HOUSE CHOPPED SALAD

Steps:

• Place a heavy-bottomed skillet or a cast-iron skillet over medium heat with the oil. Season steaks liberally with salt and pepper, and cook to desired doneness, turning once, about 5 minutes per side for medium (for a steak that is 1-inch thick). Let steaks rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
• While steaks are cooking, prepare dressing: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together all ingredients for dressing, and adjust seasoning as needed with salt, pepper and more lemon juice.
• To serve, toss lettuce, tomatoes, radishes and avocado with prepared dressing, then divide among serving plates. Thinly slice steaks and top each salad.

STEAKHOUSE WEDGE SALAD

Steps:

• Make the blue cheese dressing: Stir together the grated garlic and lemon juice in a medium bowl to form a garlic paste. Add the half-and-half, mayonnaise, sour cream, Worcestershire, 1/2 cup of the blue cheese and whisk until smooth. Gently stir in the remaining 1/2 cup blue cheese and season with pepper. Refrigerate until ready to use.
• For the salad: Put the oil and bacon in a large skillet and heat over medium-high heat until it starts to sizzle. Reduce the heat to medium and cook until golden and crispy, stirring often, 10 to 12 minutes. Transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate with a slotted spoon. Return the skillet with the bacon fat to the stove and decrease the heat to low. Add the smashed garlic clove and more oil if necessary and cook for 1 minute to infuse the oil. Add the tomatoes, sprinkle with salt and pepper and cook, shaking the pan often, until slightly softened and a few of the skins are split, about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and add the bacon back in to keep it warm.
• Put the iceberg wedges on a large serving platter and top with the scallions and tomatoes. Spoon the dressing on top, letting it run down the sides. Finish with the bacon.

MISO STEAK WITH NOODLE SALAD

Steps:

• For the salad, simmer the broccoli in a large pan of boiling water for 3-4 mins. Meanwhile, cook the noodles following pack instructions, then drain both and set aside.
• For the dressing, whisk the miso paste in a large bowl with the lemon juice, vinegar, ginger and oil. Toss with the cooked broccoli, noodles, red onion, carrots, tomatoes and sesame seeds.
• For the steak, heat a wok or frying pan over a medium heat and briefly stir-fry the garlic and ginger until they begin to colour. Add the steak and stir-fry for a few minutes until brown. Pile half on top of the noodle salad. Add the miso to the wok with 2 tbsp water to lift the ginger and garlic from the pan, then spoon over the meat. Serve half and chill the rest for another day. You can enjoy the leftovers chilled or reheat in the microwave or oven until warmed through. Will keep chilled for two days.
