Best Rare Beef Salad With Tarragon Aioli And Balsamic Dressing Recipes
BALSAMIC STEAK SALAD
My husband loves blue cheese and I like a hearty salad that eats like a meal, so I put the two things together to make this steak salad recipe. The sweet-tartness of dried cranberries pairs deliciously with the cheese, creamy avocado and balsamic vinegar. It's irresistible! -Marla Clark, Albuquerque, New Mexico

CHEF JOHN'S TARRAGON AIOLI
The beauty of aioli made in the traditional method with a mortar and pestle is that a small amount of garlic can flavor a large amount of mayo. Also, this real aioli is so strong and powerful that you don't need half a cup of mayo on your grilled fish. Just a teaspoon of my version is so intense it will fully flavor a whole piece of meat or pile of veggies.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 425F (220C).
- While the oven is heating, bring the beef to room temperature, and make the balsamic dressing: Place the balsamic vinegar, port and brown sugar in a medium-sized sized saucepan, and stir. Bring to the boil, then immediately reduce heat, and simmer until reduced to less than 1 cup of syrup. Cool.
- Rub the beef with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Tie it with kitchen string so that it retains its shape.
- Heat a heavy, preferably non-stick skillet, and seal the meat on all sides.
- Place seared beef on a baking tray and roast in the oven for 15 minutes, or longer to your preference. Allow it to rest, in a warm place, for 30 minutes.
- While the oven is still on and the meat is resting, place the bread on a baking tray, drizzle or brush with olive oil, and bake until golden. Cool.
- Meanwhile prepare the salad: Blanch the beans in boiling salted water for 2 to 3 minutes, until barely cooked. They should remain crisp. Refresh in hot water immediately, then drain. Peel and slice the roasted red bell peppers into bite-sized pieces. Skin, seed and dice the tomatoes.
- Slice beef and transfer it to a suitable-sized serving bowl, along with the juices.
- Add the salad ingredients - beans, bell peppers, tomatoes, parsley, salad greens, and bread - and mix together gently.
- Fold through the tarragon aioli.
- Serve drizzled with reduced balsamic.
