How to Make Beef Leek And Tomato Salad With Bacon Dressing
- Prepare the grill: Preheat a grill pan or outdoor grill to medium-high heat.
- Prepare the steaks: Bring steaks to room temperature. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil and season generously with salt and pepper on both sides.
- Grill the steaks: Place steaks on the preheated grill. Cook for 10-12 minutes for medium-rare, turning twice, until desired doneness is reached. Let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
- Cook the bacon: While steaks grill, cook bacon in a medium-to-large skillet over medium-high heat with remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil until crispy. Remove bacon and place on paper towels to drain.
- Prepare the leeks: Thinly slice leeks, rinse thoroughly under cold water to remove any grit, and pat dry with a kitchen towel.
- Wilt the leeks: Pour off all but about 1 tablespoon of bacon drippings from the skillet. Add leeks and cook until wilted, about 3-5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
- Make the bacon dressing: Transfer cooked bacon to a food processor. Add Worcestershire sauce, vinegar, mustard, black pepper, and 1-2 tablespoons of water. Process until smooth.
- Emulsify the dressing: With the food processor running, slowly stream in 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil until emulsified.
- Assemble the salad: On each dinner plate, arrange a bed of shredded romaine lettuce and sliced tomatoes.
- Slice the steak: Slice the rested steak against the grain.
- Plate the salad: Arrange steak slices over the tomatoes. Scatter the wilted leeks over the steak.
- Dress the salad: Drizzle generously with bacon dressing and serve immediately.
