Bourbon Steak Salad
Ingredients:
- 3 tbsp (divided) Bourbon
- For the salad:
- 1 bunch asparagus, trimmed and sliced in thirds
- 1 package mixed greens
- 2 Tbsp bourbon
- ¼ cup of your favorite coffee
- 1 lb skirt steak
- ¼ cup slivered almonds or ½ cup macadamia nuts
- For the dressing:

- 1 clove garlic, crushed
- 1 tsp honey
- 1 tsp Dijon seed mustard
- ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Directions:
Serves 4-6
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 20 minutes
Preheat the oven to 450°F. On a parchment paper-lined baking sheet, add asparagus and almonds and mix with 1 Tbsp bourbon, oil, and salt. Place in oven and roast for 5 minutes.
Coat the steak on each side with the coffee and sprinkle with salt. Grill the skirt steak for 4 minutes on each side. If a grill is not available, you can pan-sear the steak in a cast-iron skillet for 5 minutes on each side. Once done, remove and let rest for 10 minutes. Then slice against the grain.
In a mason jar, add all the ingredients for the dressing and vigorously shake. Make sure you taste it to ensure you have added enough salt.
In a salad bowl, add mixed greens, asparagus, almonds, and steak. Top with dressing, sprinkle with ground pepper, and serve.
