- Makes: 4 servings
- Yield: about 1 cup
- Prep 20 mins
- Chill 30 mins
- Broil 14 mins
Ingredients
-
1
head
romaine lettuce (1 pound)
-
Caramelized Onion Vinaigrette (see recipe below)
-
4
plum tomatoes, cored and quartered
-
1/2
cup
crumbled blue cheese (2 ounces)
-
6
radishes, thinly sliced
-
1
tablespoon
snipped fresh parsley
-
1
tablespoon
capers, drained
-
3/4
pound
boneless beef sirloin steak, cut 1-inch thick
Directions
- Cut off bottom core of romaine. Rinse leaves in cold water; pat dry. Cut out heavy center vein. Tear leaves into bite-size pieces. Wrap lettuce in a dry kitchen towel or paper towels and store in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes or up to several hours to crisp romaine.
- Prepare the Caramelized Onion Vinaigrette as directed.
- Divide the romaine among 4 individual dinner plates. Arrange 1/4 of the tomatoes, the blue cheese, the radishes, parsley, and the capers on each serving plate of greens. Set aside.
- Slash fat edges of steak at 1-inch intervals, being careful not to cut into the meat. Place the steak on the unheated rack of a broiler pan. Broil the meat 3 inches from the heat for 6 minutes. Turn the steak. Broil the meat to desired doneness. Allow 6 to 8 minutes more for medium or 8 to 10 minutes more for well done. Insert an instant-read meat thermometer at an angle into center of steak (temperature should register 155 degree F for medium or 165 degree F for well done).
- Remove meat from the pan. Cover cooked steak with foil and let stand for 5 minutes before cutting into bite-size strips. (The internal temperature of the meat will rise 5 degree F during standing time.) Arrange steak strips on top of the salad. Drizzle about 2 tablespoons of the Caramelized Onion Vinaigrette over each salad.
