Steak

Sherry Vinaigrette

Method

Steak Preparation

  1. 1

    Season the Steak

    Rub the prime hanger steak with olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Ensure it's evenly coated.

  2. 2

    Grill the Steak

    Preheat your grill to high heat. Grill the steak for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness. Remove from grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

French Fries Preparation

  1. 3

    Cut the Potatoes

    Peel and cut the russet potatoes into thin strips, about 1/4 inch thick.

  2. 4

    Fry the Potatoes

    Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F (175°C). Carefully add the potato strips in batches and fry until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Sprinkle with salt while hot.

Salad Assembly

  1. 5

    Prepare the Salad

    In a large bowl, combine the arugula, crumbled blue cheese, pickled red onions, and shaved radish. Toss gently to mix.

Sherry Vinaigrette Preparation

  1. 6

    Make the Vinaigrette

    In a small bowl, whisk together sherry vinegar, olive oil, Dijon mustard, and honey until emulsified. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

Final Assembly

  1. 7

    Plate the Salad

    Slice the grilled steak against the grain and arrange it on top of the salad. Drizzle with the sherry vinaigrette and serve with the crispy French fries on the side.
