Steak with Radish Salsa
Once home, I immediately started brainstorming the next few days’ meals, trying to figure out how to best use all of my newly acquired fresh produce before it started to spoil. Somewhere from the far recesses of my mind came a vision of me jotting down a radish salsa recipe on a tiny piece of paper. Yes, I was certain of it. I remembered flipping through a Southern Living magazine in my friend’s kitchen in Kentucky last summer and reaching into my purse to pull out a piece of scratch paper. How do I remember this stuff?? I have no idea. What I couldn’t remember is what I did with that piece of paper.

Steak with Radish Salsa
Serves 4-6. Adapted from Southern Living.
Ingredients:
1- 2 lb flank steak (I used a thin cut of sirloin from Walnut Hills Farm)
1 Tbsp McCormick Montreal Steak Seasoning*
Radish Salsa
6 large radishes
1 large cucumber, peeled, seeded, and chopped
1/4 cup chopped cilantro
1 garlic clove, pressed
1 Tbsp fresh lime juice
1/4 tsp salt
Grilled Bread
4-6 Slices of crusty bread cut 1" thick (I used a whole grain from Provence)
olive oil
garlic salt
pepper
oregano
Directions:
Sprinkle steak with seasoning*. Grill steak to desired doneness. Remove and cover with foil. Let stand 5 minutes.
Toss together all salsa ingredients. Cover and chill up to 2 hours. Season with salt to taste.
Brush or spray top side of bread with olive oil. Sprinkle with garlic salt, pepper, and oregano to taste. After the steak is removed from grill, place the bread slices seasoned side down on grill. Close lid for 2-3 minutes. Remove and place one bread slice on each of 4-6 plates (depending on how many you are serving). Slice steak and arrange on bread slices then top with radish salsa. So fresh and flavorful, this might be our favorite new way to eat steak in the summer!
*If you don't have the Montreal Seasoning, you can use a mixture of coarse ground sea salt, fresh ground black pepper, red pepper flakes, garlic powder, and a bit of paprika for similar results.

Just started going through your blog. The radish slaw sounds like a good idea. I can think of about a dozen take offs on it already now!
