Cooking Instructions
Step 1
We’re going to make a fabulous steak salad with beef chuck flap tail, perfect for a home restaurant experience! First, let’s gather all the ingredients you’ll need for this delicious dish!
Step 2
Now, let’s start making our home-style steak salad! Prepare about 400g of tender and flavorful beef chuck flap tail. The more beef you use, the richer and more satisfying your salad will be.
Step 3
Lay down a few layers of paper towels on a tray. Place the beef chuck flap tail on top and press down firmly. This crucial step helps to absorb any excess blood from the surface of the meat, ensuring a cleaner flavor.
Step 4
Next, we’ll season the beef chuck flap tail to perfection. You’ll need a little olive oil, a pinch of salt, and some freshly ground black pepper.
Step 5
Brush both sides of the beef with olive oil, then generously sprinkle with salt. Follow with a few cracks of black pepper, making sure to coat the entire surface evenly. Let the seasoned beef rest at room temperature for about 30 minutes. This allows the flavors to meld and the meat to become more tender.
Step 6
While the steak is marinating, let’s prepare the fresh vegetables and the salad dressing. Have plenty of baby leaf sprouts and cherry tomatoes ready. Wash 7 fresh button mushrooms thoroughly under cold running water.
Step 7
Gently remove the tough stems from the button mushrooms. For the baby leaf sprouts, drain them well in a colander. Ensuring the greens are dry is key to a crisp salad that won’t be diluted by excess water.
Step 8
Now, let’s make our delicious oriental dressing, which will be the star of the salad! Finely mince 1/4 of an onion. In a bowl, combine 5 Tbsp soy sauce, 4 Tbsp olive oil, the minced onion, 1 Tbsp minced garlic, 2 Tbsp honey, 2 Tbsp vinegar, 1 Tbsp lemon juice, and 1 Tbsp sesame seeds.
Step 9
Whisk all the dressing ingredients together vigorously with a whisk or spoon until well combined. You’ll have a tangy, savory oriental dressing bursting with the aroma of olive oil and the nuttiness of sesame seeds. It’s surprisingly easy to make such a flavorful dressing at home!
Step 10
After the 30-minute marinating time, heat a pan over high heat. Sear the seasoned beef chuck flap tail for a short time on each side. High heat helps to create a beautiful crust while keeping the inside juicy.
Step 11
The cooking time for the steak is really up to your personal preference. Cook it to your desired level of doneness, whether you prefer rare, medium-rare, or medium.
Step 12
I cooked mine to a perfect medium-rare. Well-cooked steak is always a delight! The thought of enjoying this delicious steak with a fresh salad is incredibly exciting.
Step 13
Using a grill pan has given the steak beautiful grill marks, adding to its appetizing appearance! These marks promise an even more delicious salad experience.
Step 14
Once the beef chuck flap tail is cooked, reduce the heat to medium. Now, let’s grill the button mushrooms alongside the steak. Grilling mushrooms brings out their wonderful earthy flavor.
Step 15
One of the best things about grilled button mushrooms is the delicious juices that collect in their caps! This concentrated flavor is absolutely divine. Don’t miss out on enjoying them!
Step 16
Slice the beautifully cooked beef chuck flap tail into bite-sized pieces. Place the juicy, grilled button mushrooms onto a serving plate. (A little note: I couldn’t resist eating the mushroom stems while grilling because they were so delicious! I was too hungry to wait… ^_^ Please try not to do the same!)
Step 17
Now it’s time to assemble the salad. Start by arranging a generous bed of fresh baby leaf sprouts on a beautiful serving plate. Sprinkle over the dried cranberries, macadamia nuts, and sliced almonds for added texture and flavor. Artfully arrange the cherry tomatoes as well.
Step 18
Carefully place the sliced beef chuck flap tail steak on top of the greens. Generously drizzle your homemade oriental dressing over the steak and salad. You can adjust the amount of dressing to your liking.
Step 19
Your restaurant-worthy steak salad is now ready to be enjoyed! Grab your knife and fork and savor this creation from your very own ‘home restaurant.’ Prepare for a truly special dining experience.
Step 20
Wow… the flavors are incredible! The zesty oriental dressing and the tender beef chuck flap tail are a perfect match. I’m honestly impressed by how delicious this turned out, especially since I made it myself! It’s truly outstanding.
Step 21
This is such a satisfying and healthy steak salad, thanks to the combination of fresh greens and nutritious nuts. Pairing it with cherry tomatoes and grilled button mushrooms creates an extra burst of flavor. It’s truly a delightful and wholesome dish. ^^
