August 2007 - TravelOregon.com Recipe of the Month
This month's recipe comes from the charming RimRock Inn Restaurant, which sits dramatically
on the edge of the 2,000-foot-deep Joseph Canyon near the northeast Oregon town of Enterprise. Everything on the menu is seasonally fresh and often features
ingredients pulled or picked from the onsite garden (not far from RimRock's fully outfitted teepees - yes, you can rent one for the night). Perhaps the most
amazing seat in the house is on the outdoor deck overlooking the enormous canyon.
Grilled Steak Tip Salad with Bleu Cheese Dressing (Serves 1)
- 10 oz rib eye steak cut into 8 pieces, marinated for 1 hour in refrigerator
- ½ (one-half) granny smith apple, chopped into ½ (one-half) inch cubes
- ¼ (one-quarter) cup bleu cheese crumbles
- ¼ (one-quarter) cup candied almonds
- Fresh spring mix salad greens
- Seasoning salt to taste
Marinade for steak tips: whisk together 1 cup olive oil, 1/3 (one-third) cup soy sauce, 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce, 1 tablespoon brown sugar. Set aside ¼ (one-quarter) cup of marinade.
Prepare salad on dinner plate just before grilling steak:
Salad greens piled high, chopped apple on one side of salad, bleu cheese and candied almonds sprinkled over top of salad greens.
Place steak tips in a well-heated, seasoned grill (you should be able to hold your hand over the grill for 4 seconds before the heat forces you to remove it). Brush tips with the marinade
that was set aside. Sprinkle steaks with seasoning salt. Flip steak tips once after 2 to 4 minutes. Season and brush on marinade again. Remove from grill after 2 to 4 minutes. Place on salad on side opposite chopped apple.
Bleu Cheese Dressing
- ½ (one-half) cup mayonnaise
- ¼ (one-quarter) cup sour cream
- 1/8 (one-eighth) cup half & half cream
In blender, blend until smooth.
- ¼ (one-quarter) tablespoon minced garlic
- 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
- ¼ (one-quarter) tablespoon white sugar
- ¼ (one-quarter) cup bleu cheese crumbles
Add mayonnaise mixture. Blend until smooth.
- ¼ (one-quarter) cup bleu cheese crumbles
Mix in just until combined.
Candied Almonds
2 cups sliced almonds
1/3 (one-third) cup sugar
2 Tablespoons water
Have a sheet of tin foil ready to spread on the table. Heat almonds and sugar in a shallow saucepan, stirring constantly. When all sugar is melted and the almonds have browned, add water and stir to coat almonds. Spread candied almonds evenly on the tin foil and let cool.
