If I had a photo, I would most certainly use it. That is... unless the photo I have sucks. For now, you'll just have to picture a big heaping helping of
Use whatever steak you like, but if you can find a Denver, you’ll be really happy. And even if you’re not an onion fan, I think you’ll be making the Caramelized Onion Dressing over and over
Ingredients
1 yellow onion, diced
1 tablespoon neutral oil
1 tablespoon butter
2 teaspoons honey
1 tablespoon dijon mustard
1/4 cup sherry vinegar
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1/2 cup olive oil
1 teaspoon pepper
kosher salt, to taste
Denver steaks (or whatever your pref) and anywhere from about 6-8 ounces per person
Salad – use any of the following, but ideally about 3 cups mixed salad per person:
Baby arugula
Napa cabbage sliced thin
Romaine, chopped up
Sliced radishes
Curly Parsley, chopped
Cherry tomatoes, halved
Holland Peppers, thinly sliced
Avocados, diced
Toasted pine nuts
Croutons
Shredded parm & black pepper for garnish
Directions
Make the dressing
Warm a non-stick pan over medium heat, add oil and the onions
Cook, stirring often until just beginning to brown, 10-15 minutes – then add the butter and stir in
Continue cooking until much more golden, maybe another 10 minutes then remove from the heat and set aside
If using an immersion blender, put into a mixing jar with the olive oil, red wine vinegar, Worcestershire, Dijon, salt & pepper – blend slowly until one gorgeous, harmonious dressing, or
Put everything into a processor and buzz until blended – set aside until ready to use
Cook the steak
Remove steak from fridge 45 minutes before cooking
Clean and oil grates, and preheat to medium high
Cook steak(s), turning often like every 2 minutes until it’s where you’d like it. For medium rare, pull it around 128 and it will continue to rise in temp
Cover loosely with foil and let rest
Build the salad
Combine your salad greens etc in a large bowl, add some of the dressing and toss to mix
Slice steak into thin pieces against the grain, add to salad and toss once more
Add some shredded parmesan and fresh ground pepper
