Fast-Fry Beef and Goat Cheese Salad

SO had a hankering for steak salad, so we did the cheap and easy version. Instead of fancy steak we used fast-fry. We had one of those giant plastic containers of spinach with half of it left, so we used that. Finally, we needed something to make it interesting so add the cheese.  It could have arguably used some sort of sauce, but I actually like it a bit on the "dry" side, plus there was a tiny bit of pan dribblings that moistened it up a bit.

Fast-Fry Beef and Goat Cheese Salad

Since there are "three bears" in this house (as in too lumpy, too smooth, just right), we cannot possibly have just one variety of cheese for the meal. SSO had the usual medium St. Albert's cheddar, I had pepper goat cheese, and SO and fancy blue cheese.  No pepper on the steak for SSO either - "too spicy!". Overall, everyone was really happy - not sure if it was because it was truly an awesome meal, or just that we have been eating throw together crap for 6 weeks (see details re kitchen renovation in the previous blog entry).  Well I exaggerate perhaps a bit. One of the tricks I think here was the Montreal Steak Spice (a hit-you-over-the-head variety of spice), and another was slicing the steak really thinly once fried up.

Next Time: would try a higher-end version with nice steak and some fancy drizzling sauce.

Me: 9/10
SO: 9/10
SSO: 9/10 (!!)  It was eaten in component form, but "whatever"...
