Serves: 2
Ingredients:
2 ea. Large Heirloom Tomato, cut into bite-size pieces
Chef Tip: This can be rustic chunks
2 ea. Kirby Cucumber, cut into bite-size pieces
2 ea. Shallot, sliced thin
Chef Tip: You can substitute raw red onion if you either don't like or don't have shallots
Chef Tip: If you want a little roughage, you can add any kind of lettuce to your salad.
1 sprig of Basil, torn
1 sprig of Dill, torn
1 sprig of Mint, torn
Chef Tip: You can add and/or omit herbs to your liking
4oz Ricotta, whipped
Chef Tip: For a more salty taste, cut in a little Feta with the ricotta
2oz aged red wine vinegar
2oz extra virgin olive oil
8-10oz Skirt or Flank steak
Chef Tip: The thinner the steak, the faster it will cook.
Salt & Pepper
Butter
Thyme
1 clove raw garlic
Method:
Assemble salad by combining cut tomato, cucumber & shallot in a bowl
Season with salt, vinegar and oil
let sit.
Chef TIp: If you have the time, make the salad about 20m ahead of time so it will stew in its own juices, creating a vinaigrette
Season steak with salt and black pepper
Sear on medium high heat with a little oil, approx.. 3 minutes/side
Chef Tip: Press down on steak in pan to get a good sear but otherwise leave it alone and let it do its thing.
Add a pat of butter, a sprig of thyme and a clove of smashed garlic to the steak pan and spoon the juices onto the steak
Chef Tip: This will add extra flavor + speed your cooking time
Remove steak from pan and let rest while finishing salad and preparing your plate
Chef Tip: This is for a medium rare steak. If you like it more well-done, it will take longer.
Toss herbs into salad bowl and check seasoning.
To plate, spread ricotta on plate with back of spoon to create a swoosh, place tossed salad and sliced steak next to each other.
Chef Tip: This is a chuck steak so more flavorful but also tougher. Cut against the grain to tenderize
Enjoy
