directions

  • Preheat grill or broiler.
  • In a small bowl, mix together the pepper, garlic, onion, salt and thyme. Rub olive oil all over the meat. Rub seasoning mixture all over the meat. Place in a shallow dish and marinate at room temperature for about an hour, or while preparing the remaining salad and vinaigrette. (Can also cover and marinade in the fridge for up to 2 days. Remove meat from fridge an hour before grilling).
  • Put walnuts in a small pan over med-low heat. Let toast until you can smell them (while you are preparing the remaining recipe).
  • In a blender or food processor, combine raspberry vinegar, 1/4 cup raspberries, honey, and oregano (or basil); whirl 1 minutes or until well blended. With the motor on, add olive oil in a slow steady stream, whirling until dressing is smooth.
  • Grill steak about 3-4 minutes per side or until done to your preference. (Using a meat thermometer - Rare: 120F; Medium Rare: 125F; Medium: 130F).
  • When the steaks are done to your liking, remove from oven, let sit 15 minutes before serving (meat temperature will rise 5 to 10 degrees after it is removed from the oven). Slice steak across grain into 1/4-inch slices.
  • While steaks are resting, prepare salad by layering equally on each plate the spinach, remaining raspberries, walnuts and cheese. Place strips of steak on top of each salad. Serve dressing on the side.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

<p>I was born and raised in central Ohio, with family roots in West Virginia as well. I now live in coastal Florida and really enjoy having so much fresh seafood available. There are a lot of great restaurants in this area, but I decided a couple of years ago that I could make equally delicious food at home for a fraction of the cost. Since then, I've been honing my skills, trying different recipes, which in turn help me to develop new skills and try new things. I also watch a lot of Food Network TV, which gives me even greater confidence to experiment.</p>
