BLACK AND BLEU SALAD



Black and Bleu Salad image

This is a favorite at a local restaurant I used to work at named Elijah's here in Wilmington. All of the topping measurements are approximate, put as many or as few as you want! The spicyness of the blackening spice and the potent cheese are wonderous with the sweet balsamic dressing. The original salad at the restaurant also includes cherry tomatoes, but since neither I or my boyfriend care for raw tomatoes we left them off!

Time 21m

Yield 1 salad, 2-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 lb sirloin steak
1/3 cup cucumber, chopped
1/3 cup red bell pepper, chopped
1/3 cup red onion, chopped
1 (10 ounce) bag romaine lettuce
1/3 cup blue cheese, crumbled
blackening seasoning
balsamic vinaigrette
crouton (optional)

Steps:

  • Heat your grill pan or grill to medium-high heat.
  • Equally distribute the lettuce between 3 or 4 bowls (or 2 if you're feeding big appetites) and top with the chopped veggies and croutons if desired.
  • Sprinkle the steak liberally with the blackening seasoning and place in hot grill pan. Cook 3 minutes per side for medium rare. (The steak I used was about 3/4 inch thick.).
  • Once cooked to desired doneness, let the meat rest a few minutes before slicing into strips. (You may cut it into more bite size pieces but it will not be as pretty.).
  • Place the steak slices on top of each salad. Top the warm meat with the bleu cheese and serve with the balsamic on the side.
  • ENJOY!

Categories     dinner     Salad

Number Of Ingredients 13

6 to 8 cups Spring lettuce mix (or Romaine, chopped)
⅓ cup Blue Cheese (crumbled, or feta )
8 to 10 ounces ribeye steak (see post above for alternative cuts)
½+ cup Balsamic Salad Dressing
1 to 2 tablespoons Blackened Seasoning (recipe below)
1 Tablespoon paprika
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
¼ teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
2 teaspoons ground black pepper
¼ teaspoon thyme
1/2 teaspoon oregano

Steps:

  • Mix all seasoning ingredients together. Store in an airtight container. It will be good for 6 months.
  • Bring the steak to room temperature and preheat the grill. Meats should sit outside of the fridge for at least 20 minutes before cooking.
  • Pat the steak dry, season with blackened seasoning on each side, and then place the steaks on the hot part of the grill. Let the steaks sear until they release without sticking. When the steak lifts easily from the grill, flip the steaks. Cook for a couple of minutes.
  • Insert the thermometer lengthwise for the best reading. A temperature of 130 to 145°F is the range between medium-rare and medium. For a well-done steak, move it to the cooler part of the grill and let it cook longer. Remember, the steak will continue to cook after you remove it from the grill.
  • Let the steaks rest for 5 to 10 minutes so the juices can settle then slice.
  • Place lettuce in bowl(s). Top with slices of steak, cheese, and dressing. Serve.

O'CHARLEY'S BLACK AND BLUE CAESAR SALAD RECIPE



O'charley's Black and Blue Caesar Salad Recipe image

I have had this before at O'Charley's and find it to be very, very good. A warning though: When cooking the beef for this salad, remember that restaurants have huge exhaust fans, capable of pulling all fumes, and possibly small chefs, out of the kitchen. You should compensate by starting both the stove-hood exhaust and perhaps opening windows before heating the skillet. Or you may want to cook the steak outside ;)
