    Default OMG The Most Delicious Salad!!

    K and I made the most wonderful fucking salad for lunch today and I just had to share.

    Last night, he took two very small steaks and coated them with a mixture of honey, liquid smoke, and Rendezvous BBQ seasoning. They marinated like that all night and this morning, and then I seared them in a skillet until they were about medium-rare, and sliced them into thin strips. We also had some fresh Oregon hazelnuts, which we cracked open and toasted, then chopped. The salad was fresh raw baby spinach, quartered canned artichoke hearts, chopped fresh cherry tomatoes, the sliced marinated/seared steak, and the freshly toasted hazelnuts, drizzled with balsamic vinaigrette. We had it on our balcony in the beautiful sunny spring weather with a bottle of sauvignon blanc. The whole thing (not counting marinade) took about 30 minutes.

    Most. Effing. Delicious.

    You must try it.

    that does sound promising....thanks for posting
    These days I like to count my money. I like to wash it delicately and iron it. Sometimes I dry it with some bounty to make it all nice and cuddly. I love my money... did I say that out loud?

    You'll probably pay more for hazelnuts in Texas, but you can leave them off.

    I LOVE steak salad. It's my favorite way to eat steak. I eat vegetarian over 90% of the time but I cannot resist steak salads. And this is the best steak salad I've ever had! It was incredible!

    Damn. I'm going to forward this to my partner who does the cooking. (Only 50 more days until I can taste his food again!) I'm sure something can be substituted for the meat in mine, and both my people will love the meat version. Awesome. :-)

    I don't know what the hell it is. I don't ever get excited about meat, but steak salad makes me squirm. It's my favorite summer food! So I'm glad we celebrated our first beautiful summery weekend in Portland with gardening and the best steak salad in history.

    We should be having a pretty delicious summer around here. Our balcony is now home to a grape tomato plant, a cayenne pepper bush, and an herb garden consisting of chives, oregano, dill, parsley, apple mint, and chocolate mint. We're also growing strawberries, and later in the week we're going back for some more herbs to plant (I want basil and rosemary, and we'll probably get some sage and something else too). It should all be flourishing by the time summer really gets going... I hope so, anyway! Fresh herbs rule almost as much as steak salad.

    Oh, and chaosfairy, you can marinate and sear tofu just like steak. Get extra-firm, freeze it and then thaw it and drain it, and I bet it's just as good. In fact I think I'll do that myself sometime soon!

    We get this kind at the natural foods stores... it's baked tofu, I don't remember the manufacturer, and it comes in various flavors: oriental, teriyaki, tomato & basil, etc. They're pre-marinated but they re-marinate pretty well. The best thing about it is the texture... it has a sort of firm skin on the outside and I can't describe the inner part very well but it's different from regular tofu, and really, really good.

    Yes, yes, of course! Just a totally different flavor...and I'd be tempted to candy them and make a Waldorf. Which is NOT a bad thing!

    I was semi-inspired by this thread last night and made a pork chop salad with an A1 vinaigrette. It was tangy and delicious but definitely didn't have the complexity of flavors from Yek's recipe. Reason #bajillion why I should move to OR and be your slavey.

    Oh yeah, baked tofu is awesome and so are pecans!

    I started drooling at A1 vinaigrette. I NEED this recipe desperately.

    I just whisked some evoo with the A1. (Guess it's not really a vinaigrette unless I have vinegar in it, eh? I thought the A1 had a similar purpose as balsamic vinegar so just thinned it out enough to toss in salad.) Tasted it, it didn't seem to need anything but I bet some red chili flakes would make it nommy if you wanted to spice it up. I sprinkled some goat cheese over the salad too, blended really well.

    ^^^ I giggle, because Portland really does that to people sometimes, including to me.

    That sounds delicious, Sunday!

    And actually, I was always pretty domestic. I just couldn't afford it in L.A., and I was stuck in a tiny apartment with a shitty kitchen, with no money to buy good healthy foods. It's nice to have a lovely home I can enjoy again!

    Though maybe Portland is having a domesticating effect... I've really been itching to learn to sew lately.
