Indulge in a hearty steak & brie salad with a maple-bacon glaze. A decadent twist on comfort food in salad form!
Ingredients
- • sirloin steak: 1 pound, trimmed
- • mixed salad greens: 8 cups
- • brie cheese: 4 ounces, sliced
- • cherry tomatoes: 1 cup, halved
- • red onion: 1/2, thinly sliced
- • bacon: 6 slices
- • pure maple syrup: 1/4 cup
- • balsamic vinegar: 2 tablespoons
- • olive oil: 2 tablespoons
- • salt: to taste
- • pepper: to taste
Instructions
- 1 Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- 2 Season the sirloin steak generously with salt and pepper. Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the steak on all sides until a crust forms, about 2-3 minutes per side. Transfer the steak to a baking sheet and finish cooking in the oven for 10 minutes for medium-rare. Remove and let it rest.
- 3 While the steak rests, cook the bacon in the same skillet over medium heat until crispy. Remove the bacon and let it drain on paper towels. Once cooled, crumble it into small pieces.
- 4 In the same skillet with bacon drippings, add the maple syrup and balsamic vinegar. Stir and let it simmer until slightly thickened, about 3-4 minutes, creating a maple-bacon glaze.
- 5 Slice the rested steak thinly against the grain. Arrange the mixed greens on a large platter, and top with steak slices, brie cheese, cherry tomatoes, and red onion.
- 6 Drizzle the salad with the maple-bacon glaze. Sprinkle the crumbled bacon over the top. Serve immediately with extra glaze on the side.
Serving Suggestions
- • This Savory Steak & Brie Salad is a meal in itself, but you can pair it with a side of warm crusty bread to soak up all the delicious glaze. For a refreshing complement, serve it with a chilled glass of Sauvignon Blanc or a light-bodied Pinot Noir. For a non-alcoholic option, a sparkling water with a hint of lime will cleanse the palate beautifully.
Storage Tips
If you have leftovers, store the steak and salad greens separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. The glaze can be stored in a small jar for up to a week. To reheat the steak, warm it gently in a skillet to preserve its tenderness, and drizzle with glaze just before serving.
