Ingredients

For the dressing:

  • 1/2 cup garlic-infused olive oil
  • 1/3 cup white balsamic vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon honey
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

For the salad:

  • 1 medium red onion, cut into 1/2-inch slices
  • 1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil
  • Salt, to taste
  • 1 1/4-pound New York strip steak
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Olive oil, in a spray bottle or mister
  • 5 ounces baby arugula
  • 3 ounces escarole
  • 1 avocado, pitted, sliced
  • 1 cup grape tomatoes, halved
  • 1/2 cup toasted pine nuts
  • 4 ounces goat cheese, crumbled
  • 8 large fresh basil leaves, roughly chopped for serving

Directions

  1. In a blender, add oil, vinegar, honey, lemon juice, coriander, salt and pepper, and blend until smooth. Taste and add additional salt and pepper, if desired. Pour into a bowl and refrigerate until serving the salad.
  2. Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Brush the onion slices with olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Season the steak with salt and pepper and spritz with oil on top.  
  3. Grill onions until char marks appear, 2-3 minutes per side. Remove from grill and transfer to a cutting board.
  4. Grill steak until it registers 130 F (medium-rare), approximately 5 minutes per side. Transfer to a cutting board, allowing steak to cool slightly. Thinly slice steak against the grain.
  5. In a large bowl, toss arugula and escarole.
  6. On a large serving platter, place the arugula and escarole mixture. Top greens mixture with grilled onions, avocado, tomatoes, pine nuts, goat cheese and basil. Finish by placing the steak slices on top. Drizzle with dressing before serving.
