Everything about this salad is magical. From the crispy seared beef–to the crunchy radishes, carrots, and cucumbers. Then texture in wonton strips and peanuts, and drizzle with a splash of ginger lime freshness. I’m making this steak all summer. Yes, ALL SUMMER. I will probably make it when you come over too. And when you make it I think your neighbors might peak over the grill to see what smells so darn good.
Spring is another word for dyslexia in Minnesota. It’s warm, then rainy, then snowy in parts. Our family rebelled and snuck outside for dinner on the patio this week. I highly encourage it and found it a most therapeutic way to get through mid-week.
I had the butchers butterfly two organic chickens and then I marinated them in the most delicious Italian seasonings–slathered them up and started the grill.
Why is brick chicken so incredible? Because flattening the bird and weighing it down on the grill gives it a perfectly crisp skin and tender chicken. Plate this with a simple arugula, spinach salad with toasted french bread and red wine vinaigrette. Ahhhh….. Every bite is healthy and memorable.
P.S. Bricks cost $1.00 at Home Depot or free when you scrounge around in the garage. —Tonja Engen
