  • Heirloom Tomato and Burrata Salad with Pepper Crusted New York Steak

    This salad is full of protein and iron so if you are hitting the gym this is great fuel. If I have any left over salad I turn it into a filling for a Panini the next day. The Burrata is a cows milk version of mozzarella only softer.

    Method

    1. Prepare the barbecue for medium-high heat.

    2. Place the coarsely crushed peppercorns on a plate.

    3. Pres both sides of the steaks into the peppercorns, coating the steaks.

    4. Sprinkle the steaks with sea salt and drizzle 1 teaspoon of olive oil over each steak.

    5. Whisk the vinegar and 3 tablespoons of oil in a medium bowl to blend and season the vinaigrette to taste with salt and pepper.

    6. Cut the heirloom tomatoes in half then place them in a large bowl with the baby spinach leaves and red onion.

    7. Toss the salad with the vinaigrette.

    8. Grill the steaks, oiled side down first, for about 4 minutes on each side for medium-rare.

    9. Remove the steaks from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes.

    10. Using a large sharp knife, cut the steaks across the grain into thin slices.

    11. Divide the salad among 4 serving arrange the slices of steak over the top of the spinach, surrounding the salad with the tomatoes and torn pieces of cheese.

    12. Serve immediately.
