servings: 4
Ingredients
Scale
Caper Vinaigrette
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tbsp caper brine liquid (from caper jar)
- 1 tbsp dijon mustard
- 1 tbsp honey
- ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
- ¼ cup neutral-flavored oil
- ½ cup drained capers
- 2 cloves garlic, grated
- ¼ tsp kosher salt
Steak & Egg Salad
- 1 lb new york strip steak
- kosher salt
- freshly cracked black pepper
- neutral-flavored oil
- 4.5 oz trimmed butter lettuce
- 6 hard-boiled eggs, halved
- ½ cup crumbled feta cheese
- ½ cup garlicky roasted tomatoes in oil*
- 2 radishes, thinly shaved
- 1 tbsp fresh dill leaves
Instructions
Caper Vinaigrette
- Combine the lemon juice, caper brine liquid, dijon mustard, and honey in a small mixing bowl. Whisk until smooth.
- Slowly drizzle in both oils, whisking continuously until emulsified. Stir in the capers, garlic, and salt. Set aside
Steak & Egg Salad
- Pat the steak dry and allow it to sit at room temperature for 20 minutes.
- Season well with kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper on all sides. Heat a large stainless steel pan (or cast-iron skillet) over medium heat. Add just enough oil to coat the bottom of the pan. Once the oil is hot, carefully place the steak into the pan.
- Allow the steak to sear on one side until browned and slightly crisp. Flip the steak and continue to cook until your desired doneness. Transfer the steak to a cutting board and let rest for 10 minutes. Thinly slice the steak.
- To assemble the salad, spread the butter lettuce out onto a large platter. Drizzle with half of the caper vinaigrette. Arrange the steak, eggs, feta, tomatoes, radishes, and dill evenly on top of the lettuce.
- Drizzle the remaining vinaigrette over top and season with freshly cracked black pepper. Toss salad or serve as is.
Notes
*I found these in the olive bar at Whole Foods, and they’re delicious. But you can also find jarred sun-dried tomatoes in oil at the store as well.
