What is a panzanella salad?<\/h2>\n

Essentially, a panzanella salad consists of stale bread (in this case grilled ciabatta), fresh tomatoes, basil and oil and vinegar. It\u2019s rather simple but can be transformed into a filling, hearty, dinner salad by including other fresh ingredients, such as grilled zucchini or red peppers, avocado (also peaches!) or an even grilled steak, chicken or halloumi.<\/p>\n

With three teenagers who are big fans of steaks, burgers & co. making a grilled steak salad is a great way to get them eating more greens and an assortment of vegetables.

\nGrilling steak indoors<\/h2>\n

When you think of grilled steak, an outdoor grill probably comes to mind. However there are other ways to get that \u201cgrilled steak\u201d flavour indoors as well. You may have already seen my post (and video) on how to grill steak using a cast iron grill plate \u2014 a fantastic method by the way \u2014 but this time I thought I would put my ELAG LeMax to the test and try grilling steak on a glass ceramic grill. The benefit here is that is can be used both indoors and outdoors.<\/p>\n

Grilling steak with the LeMax<\/h2>\n

One of the best things about this electric grill is that it has plenty of room for all of your ingredients. It also can reach temperatures of 380\u00b0C, which makes for the perfect surface for searing steaks quickly. When you sear meat, it forms a rich brown crust on the surface which amplifies the flavor and texture of the finished dish. Then you finish the steak at a reduced temperature to allow for the inside to cook.<\/p>\n

Cook time depends on your preference and the thickness of the steak, but generally after you have seared a light brown crust on each side (1-1,5 minutes), you cook the steak as follows:<\/p>\n

4 to 6 minutes for medium-rare (135\u00b0),
\n6 to 8 minutes for medium (140\u00b0)
\n9 to 10 minutes for medium-well (150\u00b0)<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t forget to to let your steaks rest after they come off the grill to let the juices redisburse \u2014 around 5-10 minutes is ideal, as this will give you a more tender, juicier steak.<\/p>\n
