Steakhouse Wedge With Warm Tomato Vinaigrette Recipes

STEAKHOUSE WEDGE WITH WARM TOMATO VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• Season steaks with salt and pepper; let stand 10 minutes. Heat a large skillet over medium-high; swirl in 2 teaspoons oil. Cook steaks, turning a few times, until browned all over, 8 to 10 minutes for medium-rare. Transfer to a plate; top each with a cheese slice.
• Lower heat to medium. Add 2 tablespoons oil, chopped onion, and garlic to skillet; cook 1 minute. Add vinegar; bring to a simmer, scraping up browned bits. Stir in chopped tomatoes; simmer until they release their juices, about 5 minutes. Stir in remaining 1/4 cup oil and juices from steak plate; strain through a sieve. Whisk in mustard and oregano; season with salt and pepper. Season lettuce and tomato and onion slices with salt and pepper, drizzle with vinaigrette, and top with oregano leaves; serve, with steaks.

STEAK SALAD WITH TOMATO VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• Make the steak: Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium. Mix the chili powder, brown sugar, cumin and smoked paprika in a small bowl. Season the steaks with salt and pepper and rub with the spice mixture; set aside.
• Make the vinaigrette: Puree the cherry tomatoes, lime juice, adobo sauce and honey in a blender until smooth. With the machine running, add the olive oil and puree until smooth. Season with salt and pepper.
• Brush the steaks with olive oil and grill 4 to 5 minutes per side for medium rare. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest 10 minutes. Meanwhile, brush the red onion slices with olive oil; season with salt and pepper. Grill the onion, turning occasionally, until softened and charred in spots, about 8 minutes. Thinly slice the steak against the grain. Roughly chop the onion.
• Assemble the salad: Divide the lettuce among plates. Top with the onion, steak, avocado, heirloom tomatoes, jicama and queso fresco. Drizzle with about half of the vinaigrette and sprinkle with the cilantro. Serve with the remaining vinaigrette.
