Peppered Steak Salad with Honey Dijon Vinaigrette

This recipe brings smiles to my family because we love steak. In these economic times we have it only occasionally, so I like to do something special with it. This recipe also stretches the budget because you can feed 4 with only two steaks.

Ingredients:

1 tbsp FRENCH'S® Worcestershire Sauce Products

.5 tsp FRENCH'S® Honey Dijon Mustard

.5 tsp honey

1 tsp garlic, minced

6 tbsp extra virgin olive oil, divided

24 oz New York strip steaks, 2 steaks 1 in. thick

6 oz fresh baby spinach, 1 bag

4 tbsp feta cheese. crumbled

4 tbsp salt

8 tbsp pepper

Directions:

Combine the French’s Worcestershire Sauce, French’s Honey Dijon Mustard, honey and garlic. Whisk vigorously as you slowly drizzle in 4 tbsp of extra virgin olive oil. Set aside. Pat the steaks dry with a paper towel. Generously salt and pepper each side to taste. I use about 1 tbsp of salt and 2 tbsp pepper on each steak. Use more or less to your own taste. Press salt and pepper into the steaks with your hands. Heat the remaining 2 tbsp of olive oil in a frying pan over medium high heat. Fry the steaks until a dark brown crust forms, about 3 or 4 minutes on each side. Remove the steaks to a plate and cover with aluminum foil. Allow to rest for about 10 minutes. Thinly slice the steaks across the grain. Divide the spinach between 4 plates. Lay several slices of steak on top. Drizzle with the vinaigrette and dot with Feta cheese.
I prefer coarse ground pepper.
