Fried Steak Salad

From angelica14 15 years ago

Quick main dish that has excellent flavor. Serve with a Italian bread and a medium -bodied red wine. Very little prep work. Easy.

Fresh, salad greens, enough for 2 large salads: use mesclun, romaine, fresh spinach leaves, and any other salad greens that you prefer and that will add variety to the bowl. shopping list
Salad toppers of your choice: sliced radishes, tomatoes, mushrooms, etc. We like fresh baby corn. If you can get baby corn, fry this along with the steak., which may require a little more olive oil in the pan. shopping list
A few shredded fresh basil leaves. Add these to the salad greens or salad toppers. shopping list
Approximately 6-8 oz. of leftover steak, sliced thin ( 1/16 of an inch or less). New York strip steaks, cut to about 2 inches in thickness, work very well. shopping list
balsamic vinegar shopping list
extra virgin olive oil - at least 6 tablespoons. shopping list
3 - 4 large cloves of garlic, smashed and chopped into medium small pieces. shopping list
Fresh grating cheese of your choice. Fontanel and Manchego are excellent choices and add an unusual, buttery flavor to the dish. shopping list
Seasonings: sea salt, pepper (Badia brand steak seasoning, often found in the ethnic section of your grocery store, is wonderful on this salad. It adds enough salt and a variety of peppery flavors. shopping list

Put 3 tablespoons of Extra virgin olive oil small pan. Add chopped garlic, turn frequently, and cook until it just begins to turn a golden brown.
Remove garlic from pan quickly. Set aside. Place pan with remaining oil back on the stove. High heat.
Fry sliced steak in the garlic oil you have just created. About 30 seconds on each side.
Remove steak and set aside.
Combine salad greens in bowl with olive oil (at least 3 tablespoons) and seasonings. Turn salad greens until they are well coated with the oil/seasonings mixture.
