Tonight’s supper was inspired by Sliding Billy’s Pittsburg Steak Salad. I had a little over a pound piece of beef chuck I had frozen & decided to use it. I would rather use a flank steak but have to use leftovers up. I thought a little bacon would be good too.
I seasoned the beef with some Weber’s Chicago steak seasoning and smoked it on my Traeger with the bacon. I started at 225 deg. for a half hour then went to 300 deg. grill level and took a total of 1 ¼ hours to get the beef to 140 deg. IT. I let the bacon on another 10 minutes. When it all cooled down some I covered and in the fridge.
I cut enough fries for the wife and I, the daughter had to work late. I placed the fries in a lager beer and a Tbs. of salt and in the fridge about 5 hours.
I did the fried in a 400 deg. oven for 20 minutes flipped and another 15 minutes. While the fries were baking I made up the salads, sliced the beef and it went into a skillet just to warm up. I served it a little after 6:00; we had some leftover garlic knots with it.
Mine turned out a little different than Billy’s, I added some bacon and sliced sweet onion and left out the shredded mozzarella, because I forgot to get it out! I had blue cheese dressing and my wife had her favorite Strawberry vinaigrette dressing.
It tasted great Billy, thanks for sharing the recipe.
