Sumac and Aleppo Pepper Spiced Steak with Roasted Honeynut Squash and Apple, Walnut and Mint Salad

Apple, Walnut, Mint and Feta Cheese Salad

This recipe sounded a bit strange but I loved all the ingredients, so I took a chance.  It paid off!  It was really good and the apple salad with mint, walnuts and feta was delicious over the steak and made it really fresh and good contrast to the rich and beefy steak.  You could also use blue cheese.  The roasted butternut squash was a great side and you make a quick pickled red onion to serve with it, and again, the contrasts of the rich and buttery squash paired with the sweet and sour onion were delicious.  You sprinkle sumac which is a ground red berry that has a little lemon kick and and Aleppo pepper which has a mild spicy kick on the steak along with the salt and pepper and sauté until medium rare ~ a great combination I had not tried before on steak.  The apple salad would be great on its own.  Give it a try for something different and delicious!  Click here for the recipe….
