Steakhouse Tomato-Onion Salad
A steakhouse-style tomato and onion salad dressed with a savory doenjang vinaigrette and bright perilla leaves — a refreshing side for grilled steak, pork or chicken.
Inspired by the tomato and onion salad served at Peter Luger, this iteration is a little less, um, austere. A flavorsome doenjang vinaigrette takes the place of that Worcestershire-laden, umami-rich steak sauce. The bittersavory aroma of fresh perilla leaves is unmatched here, offsetting the sweetness of the tomato, onion and doenjang; but their sister, mint, is a fantastic secondary option. Enjoy this quick, refreshing salad alongside a richer main dish, such as grilled steak, pork or chicken.
