Blackened-Steak Salad
Spice Mixture:
|
1 tablespoon paprika |
|
2 teaspoons ground black pepper |
|
1 1/2 teaspoons salt |
|
1 teaspoon garlic powder |
|
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper |
|
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano |
|
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme |
Salad:
|
3 tablespoons olive oil |
|
3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar |
|
1 10 ounce bag mixed greens |
|
1/2 red bell pepper |
|
1/2 cucumber |
|
1/2 cup thinly sliced red onion |
|
1 sirloin steak |
|
3 tablespoons butter |
|
3 ounces crumbled gorgonzola cheese |
Whisk oil and vinegar together and season with salt and pepper. Toss salad and vegetables and add dressing. Divide between two plates.
Mix spices together and spread on plate. Coat both sides of steaks with spice mixture. Dip both sides into melted butter. Heat heavy large skillet over high heat until very hot. Add steaks and cook to desired doneness, about 5 minutes per side. Transfer to cutting board and let stand 2 minutes. Thinly slice steaks crosswise. Arrange atop salad and sprinkle with cheese.
NOTE: This is a variation on a recipe in the September Bon Appetite which comes from the Chicago Chop House. I did not add onion, so I put in cucumber instead. I also changed the dressing a little bit. The recipe called for crumbled blue cheese, but he prefers gorgonzola, so that is what I used instead.
