Ingredients for STEAK & WEDGE

Method

Directions

1

Prep greens and toppings

Wash iceberg lettuce and cut into four wedges. Rinse cherry tomatoes and halve them. Prepare a plate for assembly.

2

Cook bacon

In a skillet over medium heat, render the Duroc bacon until crisp. Transfer to paper towels to drain.

3

Season steaks

Pat steaks dry. Rub with olive oil, then season on all sides with kosher salt and black pepper.

4

Sear steaks

Heat a heavy skillet (cast iron works well) over high heat. Sear steaks 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare, or longer for desired doneness. Avoid moving them during searing.

5

Rest steaks

Transfer steaks to a cutting board and let rest for 5-7 minutes before slicing.

6

Make balsamic glaze

In a small saucepan, simmer aged balsamic vinegar until it reduces by about half and becomes glossy.

7

Assemble wedges

Place iceberg wedges on plates. Scatter cherry tomato halves over the lettuce and sprinkle with crumbled bacon.

8

Dress and finish

Drizzle blue cheese dressing over each wedge. Drizzle the balsamic glaze. If using, sprinkle blue cheese crumbles. Slice the rested steaks and place on or beside the wedges. Serve immediately.
