Delmonico Salad And Dressing Recipes

ICEBERG WEDGE SALAD WITH CREAMY GORGONZOLA DRESSING

Steps:

• In a mixing bowl combine the sour cream, mayonnaise, and gorgonzola. Using a wooden spoon, stir the mixture to combine the cheese through the mixture. Loosen up the mix with the buttermilk, a tablespoon at a time, until it comes to a salad dressing consistency. Season the mix with salt, and pepper, to taste. Stir in the fresh herbs.
• Place a wedge of lettuce on a plate, coat liberally with the blue cheese dressing, and crumble some cooked bacon on top of the dressing. Dress each plate with 2 halved tomatoes, some blue cheese, and season with a little bit of salt and pepper.

GRILLED DELMONICO STEAKS

Steps:

• Combine the olive oil, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, garlic, onion, salt, pepper, rosemary, steak seasoning, and steak sauce in the container of a food processor or blender. Process until well blended.
• Prick steaks on both sides with a fork, and place in a shallow container with a lid. Pour marinade over steaks, cover, and refrigerate at least 3 hours, or overnight.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat, or light charcoal, and wait until coals are completely white. Soaked wood chips may be added to the coals when ready for a smoky flavor, if you like.
• Remove steaks from marinade, and discard the marinade. Lightly oil the grilling surface, and place steaks on the grill. Cover, and grill steaks for about 10 minutes on each side, or to your desired degree of doneness.

PAN ROASTED BEEF DELMONICO WITH SWEET GREEN PEPPERCORN SAUCE AND BROWNED VEGETABLES

Steps:

• For the vinaigrette, drain and roughly chop the green peppercorns. Place them in a steel mixing bowl with the vinegar. Whisk in the olive oil, and then the honey. Place the mixture in a small sauce pot with the tarragon and warm over medium heat. Do not boil. Cook for about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and cool.
• For the steaks, season heavily with salt and fresh cracked pepper. Warm 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a heavy bottom pan. Pan sear the steak on each side for about 4 minutes. Add 3 tablespoons whole butter, 1 bay leaf and chopped shallots to the pan and baste the steaks with the browning butter. Remove the pan once the steaks are at the desired temperature.
• For the vegetables, peel and then cut (if necessary) the vegetables to similar sizes. In a heavy bottomed skillet gently brown the vegetables until golden brown and tender. Season with salt and pepper.
• To serve place the steak on a large dinner plate. Add some of the vegetables, and finally, spoon some of the vinaigrette over the beef and vegetables. Serve immediately.
