    Sliced Steak Salad


    Source of Recipe


    MARK STRAUSMAN of Fred's at Barneys, NYC

    List of Ingredients




    Vinaigrette:
    3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
    1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
    1/2 lemon, juiced
    9 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
    Salt and freshly ground black pepper

    Salad: 3 large bunches arugula
    3 large vine-ripened beefsteak tomatoes
    1 small red onion, halved and sliced thin
    6 10-ounce certified Angus shell steaks
    12 teaspoons kosher salt
    12 teaspoons cracked black pepper
    24 slices of shaved Parmesan cheese (start with an 8-ounce block)

    Recipe



    Vinaigrette: Whisk together the mustard, vinegar, and lemon juice in a bowl, then slowly whisk in the olive oil until emulsified. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

    Salad: Wash the arugula in several changes of water to ensure all the grit has been removed, trim the stalks, and place the leaves in a large bowl. Cut the tomatoes into 1/2 inch cubes and add to the arugula along with the onion.

    Steaks: Season each side of the meat with salt and pepper. Place the steaks on a hot barbecue grill, and cook to desired doneness. Remove from the grill, and allow the meat to rest for several minutes before slicing.

    Assembly: Just before serving, gradually add the vinaigrette to the salad, and toss together until the salad is lightly coated. Arrange the salad in the center of a large platter, family-style, or on individual plates. Slice each steak into 6 or 7 pieces and fan them out around the salad. Scatter the shaved Parmesan cheese over the beef, and serve.

    Serves 6.
