Beef Avocado Salad with Rosemary Dressing
Keith Tindall of White Egret Farm
6 servings
Ingredients:
2 lbs. sirloin steak, cooked medium rare, cut in julienne
strips (leftover steak may
be used) 3 avocados 3 tomatoes, ripe but firm 1 purple
onion, thinly sliced 1 bunch watercress, leaves only
Rosemary Dressing ingredients:
2 small shallots
1 clove garlic
2 teaspoons parsley, minced
1 sprig fresh or 1⁄2 teaspoon dried rosemary
1 1⁄2 tablespoons Dijon-style mustard
1⁄2 cup lemon juice
2 teaspoons raw, unheated honey
1 1⁄2 tablespoons vermouth
2⁄3 cup raw wine vinegar
1 1⁄3 cup of extra virgin olive oil
Celtic sea salt to taste
black pepper, freshly ground
Directions:
To make the dressing, crush and chop the shallots and garlic
together. Mix these with the parsley, rosemary, and mustard. Stir in the lemon
juice, honey, and vermouth and let this mixture stand for 2 hours (this portion
may be done in advance and stored in refrigerator). Force the dressing through
a sieve into a bowl. Add the wine vinegar. Whisk in the olive oil. Season with
salt and pepper to taste. Add a portion of the dressing to the beef and stir to
coat. (If you are starting with fresh meat, you may also marinate the meat in
this dressing before cooking). Peel and chop the avocados and tomatoes. Add the
avocados, tomatoes and onion to the dressed beef. Serve on a bed of watercress.
