Steak Salad with Shallot Vinaigrette

This vibrant steak salad with shallot vinaigrette is a sophisticated way to enjoy a high-protein meal without feeling weighed down. The dish balances the richness of a perfectly seared New York strip steak with the crunch of charred corn and the refreshing sweetness of cherry tomatoes and cucumbers. It is a fantastic option for a quick midweek dinner or a lighter weekend lunch that still feels indulgent, thanks to the buttery lettuce and the punchy, emulsified dressing.

Using a cast-iron frying pan ensures you achieve a deep savoury crust on the beef, while the rendered fat adds a wonderful depth of flavour to the vegetables. This recipe focuses on fresh, seasonal ingredients and simple techniques to create a balanced plate that is both nutritious and deeply satisfying. Serve it immediately while the steak and corn are still warm for the best experience.

Ingredients for Steak Salad with Shallot Vinaigrette

  • 1 (1 1/2 inch-thick) boneless New York strip steak (about 450g .)

  • Koshersalt

  • Nymalen svartpeppar

  • 1 liten schalottenlök, finhackad

  • 1 matsked dijonsenap

  • 1 tablespoon (or more) red wine vinegar

  • 90ml extra-virgin olive oil, divided

  • 475ml corn kernels (from about 2 ears corn)

  • 2 sprigs thyme

  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter

  • 1 head of butter lettuce, leaves separated

  • 2 Persian cucumbers, thinly sliced

  • 575ml cherry tomatoes, halved

Pat steak dry with paper towels; season generously with salt and pepper. Let sit at room temperature while you make the dressing or up to 1 hour.

Meanwhile, whisk shallot, mustard, and vinegar in a medium bowl. Whisking constantly, gradually stream in 80ml oil. Whisk until dressing is thick and emulsified, then whisk in 1 tablespoon water; season with salt. Taste and add a splash of vinegar if needed.

Heat a dry cast-iron skillet over medium-high. Pat steak dry again. Rub with remaining 1 tablespoon oil. Cook until golden brown, about 3 minutes per side. Using tongs, turn steak onto fat cap and cook until browned, about 3 minutes. Turn steak back onto a flat side and cook, turning every minute or so, until medium-rare (an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part should register 125°), about 4 minutes longer. Transfer to a cutting board; let rest 10 minutes.

Wipe out skillet and let cool 2 minutes. Set skillet over medium-high; cook corn, thyme, and butter, stirring occasionally, until corn is browned in spots, 5–7 minutes.

Arrange lettuce on a platter; season with salt and pepper. Whisk dressing to reincorporate and drizzle half over lettuce. Toss cucumbers and tomatoes in a medium bowl; season with salt and pepper. Drizzle in 2 tablespoons dressing; toss again. Spoon over lettuce. Thinly slice steak crosswise; arrange on top. Drizzle remaining dressing over and top with corn.
