Grilled Buffalo Steak

with Radicchio-Beet Skewers



This Buffalo steak recipe is richly flavored and complemented by the bite of radicchio, mellowed a bit by the grill, the earthy-sweet beets and a creamy goat cheese dressing.

Buffalo is a tasty option but, because this meat is so lean, it's best cooked rare to medium-rare.

4 servings

Active Time: 40 minutes

Total Time: 40 minutes

Ingredients:

* 1/4 c. crumbled goat cheese, or feta cheese

* 4 tsp. white-wine vinegar

* 3/4 tsp. dry mustard

* 1 small shallot, minced

* 1 Tbs. minced fresh parsley

* 3/4 tsp. kosher salt, divided

* 3/4 tsp. freshly ground pepper, divided

* 1 Tbs. plus 2 tsp. extra-virgin olive oil, divided

* 2 small heads radicchio

* 1 15-oz. can baby beets, drained (the liquid can be reserved for Pickled Eggs)

* 1 lb. buffalo or beef New York strip (loin) steaks, trimmed of fat and cut into 4 portions

Preparation;

1. Preheat grill to high.

2. Place cheese in a medium bowl and mash it with the back of a spoon until creamy.

Add vinegar, dry mustard, shallot, parsley, 1/4 tsp. salt and 1/4 tsp. pepper; whisk to combine.

Continue whisking and slowly drizzle in 1 Tbs. oil until blended.

Set aside.

3. Cut each radicchio head in half, core and quarter each half.

Thread radicchio chunks and beets onto skewers.

Drizzle the skewered vegetables with 1 1/2 tsp. oil.

Rub Buffalo steaks with the remaining 1/2 tsp. oil.

Season the steaks and skewered vegetables with the remaining 1/2 tsp. salt and pepper.

4. Grill the steaks 3 to 4 minutes per side for medium-rare.

Grill the vegetable skewers, turning frequently so the radicchio doesn't burn, until the radicchio is wilted and lightly charred, 5 to 7 minutes total.

Transfer the steaks to a plate; let rest for 5 minutes.

Remove the vegetables from the skewers.

Serve the steaks and vegetables drizzled with the sauce.

Tips & Notes

* Meat-Buying Tips:

* Make sure that packaged meat isn't past its "sell-by" date and that there's not much moisture in the packaging.

* Touch it if possible, it should be firm and not soft.

* Look for bright red (not gray) meat.

Vacuum-packed meat will be darker looking and should turn red as soon as it's exposed to air.
