Steak Salad With Goat Cheese Recipes

STEAK SALAD WITH GOAT CHEESE

Steps:

• In a small bowl, whisk together mustards, vinegar, and oil; season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
• Heat broiler, with rack set 4 inches from heat. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil. Place steaks on sheet; season with salt and pepper. Broil 4 to 6 minutes for medium-rare. Transfer to a cutting board; tent with foil. Let rest 5 minutes; thinly slice crosswise.
• Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan of boiling salted water, cook green beans until crisp-tender, 4 to 6 minutes; drain. Run beans under cold water; drain well.
• In a large bowl, combine dressing, steak, beans, lettuce, and tomatoes; toss. Sprinkle with cheese.

TOMATO STEAK WITH BAKED GOAT CHEESE AND HERB SALAD

Steps:

• In a small, shallow bowl, mix the bread crumbs with salt and pepper, to taste. In another small, shallow bowl, beat the egg just until blended. Dip each goat cheese round in the egg, and then in bread crumbs, patting the crumbs in place. Cover and refrigerate the coated cheese rounds for about 15 minutes.
• Center the tomato slices on 4 salad plates and season with salt and pepper.
• Heat a large nonstick skillet over moderately high heat and pour in 2 tablespoons olive oil. When the oil is almost smoking, add the cheese rounds. Cook until lightly browned, about 45 seconds. Turn them over and cook on the other side until the cheese just feels quivery, about 45 seconds longer, depending on the thickness of the rounds. Place a cheese round on each tomato slice.
• In a bowl, toss the herbs with a light drizzle of olive oil, a splash of red wine vinegar, and salt and pepper, to taste. Mound the herbs on top of the cheese, dividing them evenly. Serve immediately.
• Michael's Notes: This salad looks best when the tomato slice and the goat cheese slice are about the same size. So if you can only find goat cheese in small logs, you may want to serve 2 goat cheese rounds to each diner and perch them on slices of smaller tomatoes.
• Be sure you take all the stems off the herbs carefully so your guests can enjoy just the soft leaves.

GRILLED STEAK WITH CREAMY HERBED GOAT CHEESE SAUCE

Steps:

• In small bowl, mix Chavrie®, chives, parsley and basil. Rub all surfaces of steaks with garlic and season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Grill over medium-high heat or broil 4 to 6 inches from heat to desired doneness. Spoon herbed Chavrie® sauce over steaks.
• * To make chiffonade, stack basil leaves and roll up like a jelly roll. Cut into thin slices.

FLANK STEAK SALAD WITH ROASTED SHALLOTS AND GOAT CHEESE

Steps:

• Blend oil, vinegar, thyme, and garlic in blender until garlic is chopped; season dressing with salt and pepper. Place steak in 13x9x2-inch glass baking dish. Add 1/3 cup dressing; turn to coat. Cover and chill 30 minutes. (Can be made 4 hours ahead; chill steak and dressing. Bring dressing to room temperature before using.)
• Meanwhile, preheat oven to 450°F. Toss shallots and 2 tablespoons dressing on baking sheet to coat. Roast shallots until caramelized and tender, stirring occasionally, about 20 minutes; set aside.
• Preheat broiler. With marinade still clinging to steak, broil steak to desired doneness, about 4 minutes per side for medium-rare. Let steak rest 5 minutes; slice thinly across grain on diagonal.
• Place greens and shallots in large bowl; toss with enough dressing to coat. Mound greens on large platter. Surround with steak; sprinkle with goat cheese. Serve, passing remaining dressing.
