Steak Panzanella Salad With Roasted Lemons Recipes

STEAK PANZANELLA SALAD

Steps:

• Place the tomatoes in a medium bowl. Sprinkle 1 teaspoon salt over the tomatoes and stir until coated. Set aside for 1 hour.
• Preheat a grill for cooking over medium-high heat. Brush the grill grates with the vegetable oil. Sprinkle the steaks generously with salt and pepper on all sides. Place the steaks on the grill and cook, flipping only once, about 4 minutes per side or until desired degree of doneness is reached. Set aside to rest for 10 minutes.
• Prepare the Texas toast on the grill, grilling about 2 minutes more per side than the package instructions call for to make the bread extra-crispy. Cut the toast into bite-sized pieces and set aside.
• Pour off any juice that has collected from the tomatoes into a large bowl for the vinaigrette. Whisk in the vinegar and mustard. While continuously whisking, slowly pour in the olive oil until the mixture is throughly combined and emulsified. Add the tomatoes to the vinaigrette.
• Cut the steaks into 1-inch cubes, discarding any large pieces of fat. Add the cubes of steak and toast to the tomatoes and vinaigrette and tear 5 basil leaves into the bowl. Toss gently to combine.
• Pour the salad onto a serving platter and tear the remaining basil leaves over the top. Serve immediately.

GRILLED STEAK PANZANELLA SALAD WITH TOMATO VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• Whisk balsamic vinegar, 3 Tbsp. oil, 1 tsp. kosher salt, and 1/2 tsp. pepper in a small bowl. Finely grate 2 garlic cloves and whisk into marinade. Place steak in a resealable plastic bag. Pour marinade over steak, toss to coat, then let rest at room temperature at least 1 hour.
• Meanwhile, toss tomatoes and 1 tsp. kosher salt in a colander set over a large bowl; let rest 1 hour.
• Prepare a grill for medium-high heat or heat grill pan over medium-high; lightly oil grate or pan. Remove steaks from marinade and pat dry. Grill steaks, turning occasionally, until lightly charred on all sides and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center registers 125°F, 8-10 minutes for medium-rare. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest 10 minutes before slicing against the grain.
• Brush zucchini with oil; season with 1/4 tsp. kosher salt and 1/8 tsp. pepper. Grill, turning occasionally, until zucchini is charred and tender, about 10 minutes. Meanwhile, grill bread alongside zucchini, turning occasionally, until lightly charred and crisp, about 5 minutes. Transfer zucchini and bread to cutting board. Let cool slightly. Slice zucchini into 1/4"-thick half moons. Crush remaining garlic clove and rub all over bread. Cut bread into 1" cubes.
• Shake colander to thoroughly drain tomatoes, reserving liquid in bowl. Add mustard, white wine vinegar, and remaining 1/4 cup oil and 1/2 tsp. pepper to bowl with tomato liquid and whisk to combine. Add kale and zucchini and toss to coat. Add tomatoes, bread, and basil and toss just to combine. Top with steak and sprinkle with sea salt.
• Do Ahead
• Steak can be marinated 10 hours ahead; chill in bag. Let steak come to room temperature at least 1 hour before cooking.

STEAK PANZANELLA SALAD WITH ROASTED LEMONS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/ gas 6. Put the lemon slices on a baking sheet lined with baking parchment. Drizzle over 1 /2 tbsp oil and put in the oven on the highest shelf to roast for 15-20 mins, until the lemon has released its natural sugars and the peel has softened and begun to caramelise. Keep an eye on them - you may need to turn the tray so that they cook evenly.
• Meanwhile, mix together the remaining oil and za'atar in a bowl, then toss in the pitta and use your hands to coat in the spiced oil. Spread out on a baking tray and roast for 15-20 mins until crisp and golden.
• About 5 mins before the lemons are ready, wrap the bavette in a foil parcel and put in the oven alongside the pitta bread to warm through.
• Mix all the other salad ingredients together in a large bowl. Add a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil and season with black pepper and a little sea salt (the olives and feta will add salt so you shouldn't need much).
• Add the lemons, spiced pitta and warmed bavette. Mix everything together with your hands, then divide between plates or serve sharing-style on a large platter.
