Warm Beef And Spinach Salad Recipes

SPINACH AND BEEF SALAD

Steps:

• In a bowl combine the steak, soy sauce, olive oil, garlic, and pepper. Let marinate 15 minutes. Warm a nonstick skillet over moderately high heat until it is hot. Add the steak, marinade, and salt, and cook, stirring, just until the meat is no longer pink (be careful not to overcook). With a slotted spoon transfer the steak to a plate. Add the remaining oil to the skillet and warm it over moderately high heat until hot. Add the mushrooms and salt and pepper, and cook, stirring, for 5 minutes.
• In a salad bowl combine the steak, mushrooms along with any pan juices, and spinach leaves, tossing gently to combine.
• For the dressing: In a bowl whisk together the vinegar, mustard, lemon pepper, and salt to taste. Add the oil, in a stream, whisking until combined well. Whisk in the herbs. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss to combine. Serve with grilled or toasted bread.

WARM BEEF TRI-TIP SALAD

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, combine the beef, soy sauce, chile flakes, garlic and 1 tablespoon minced shallots. Marinate for 1 hour at room temperature.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Put a baking sheet in the hot oven 30 minutes prior to using.
• When the baking sheet is hot, carefully remove it and place it on your stove top. Drizzle some olive oil on the baking sheet and toss with the beef and 1 cup sliced shallots. Return it to the oven and roast until the meat is medium rare, about 8 minutes.
• Season the spinach and radicchio with olive oil, salt and pepper and spread on a serving platter in a single layer. Place the beef and caramelized shallots on and around the leaves.
• Add the red wine vinegar to the baking sheet and scrape off the bits from the bottom. Add the extra-virgin olive oil and whisk the liquids together. Drizzle the salad with the vinaigrette and top with the blue cheese and Pecorino Romano.

FLAT IRON STEAK AND SPINACH SALAD

Steps:

• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat; lightly oil the grate.
• Season the flat iron steak on both sides with salt and pepper. Cook to desired degree of doneness on preheated grill, about 5 minutes per side for medium-rare. Let rest in a warm area while proceeding with the recipe.
• Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Stir in the onion, and cook until it begins to soften, about 4 minutes. Pour in the Italian salad dressing, and bring to a boil, then stir in the red peppers and mushrooms. Reduce heat to medium, and cook until the peppers are tender, about 5 minutes.
• Remove the vegetables from the skillet with a slotted spoon, and set aside. Increase the heat to medium-high, and add the red wine. Simmer the salad dressing and wine until it has reduced to a syrupy sauce, about 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, divide the spinach leaves onto serving plates. Thinly slice the flat iron steak across the grain. Spoon the warm, cooked vegetable mixture over the spinach leaves, then place the sliced steak on top. Spoon on the reduced red wine sauce, and finally, sprinkle with blue cheese.
