Wowza Steak Salad
Written by Rachel, Posted in Thoughts
To go with the Red Cabbage and Apple Tarts that I made for the latest episode of A Cooking Show with Rachel O, we had Steak Salad with Gorgonzola Dressing. I chose not to include it as part of the show because I wanted to focus on the tart. (Plus, the show’s only 4 minutes long. I can only fit in so much footage!!)
These two dishes were meant to be together. Literally. I made them up by paring flavors that would compliment each other. And, oh man did they ever (don’t believe me, ask Husband!)!
It’s easy. It’s yummy. Maybe you need something to make for Easter lunch, a gathering with friends, dinner for a loved one, just for yourself!? This meal would be a good idea. Our secret will be that it looks and sounds so much more difficult than it actually is.
