Passover is a vacation of heavy meals. There’s brisket, potato kugel and method an excessive amount of matzo. However if in case you have leftover steak and a jar of horseradish left over from the seder plate, you can also make this pleasant salad.
The recipe, from Chanie Apfelbaum’s new cookbook, “Completely Kosher: Custom with a Twist! 150+ Recipes for the Holidays and Each Day” (Clarkson Potter, $37.50), requires making croutons out of the identical components used to make breakfast-centric matzo brei — egg, matzo, oil and seasonings — oven-baked to a crisp as an alternative of pan-fried.
Passover Panzanella with Matzo Brei Croutons
Serves 6 to eight
MATZO BREI CROUTONS:
1 extra-large egg white, overwhelmed
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon kosher salt
¼ teaspoon dried oregano
¼ teaspoon garlic powder
¼ teaspoon freshly floor black pepper
3 sq. unsalted matzos or 2 spherical matzos
STEAK AND SALAD:
1 pound London broil (ideally the shoulder blade lower)
2 tablespoons grapeseed oil
Kosher salt and coarse-ground black pepper to style
2 heads romaine, roughly chopped
2 Persian cucumbers, thinly sliced on the diagonal
1 carrot, peeled into ribbons
4 radishes, thinly sliced
1 avocado, sliced
½ small pink onion, thinly sliced
HORSERADISH DRESSING:
½ cup mayonnaise
3 tablespoons grated horseradish
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 garlic clove, minced

DIRECTIONS
To organize the croutons: Warmth the oven to 400 levels and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk the egg white with the olive oil, salt, oregano, garlic powder and pepper. Break the matzo into small items, about ½ inch, and add them to the bowl. Gently toss the combination with a spoon till the matzo is absolutely coated, then unfold it out on the baking sheet. Bake for 10 to fifteen minutes, till the matzo crisps up into clusters. Take away from the oven and put aside to chill fully.
To organize the steak: Rub the London broil with the grapeseed oil and season liberally with salt and pepper. (I like to make use of numerous pepper in order that it’s pepper-crusted.) Grill over excessive warmth or broil on a sheet pan with the oven rack within the highest place for six to eight minutes per aspect, till the steak is charred on the surface and cooked to medium-rare. Switch the steak to a chopping board and put aside to relaxation for 10 minutes. Thinly slice crosswise and towards the grain.
To make the dressing: In a small bowl, whisk collectively the mayonnaise, horseradish, lemon juice, garlic, salt and pepper till creamy. If a thinner consistency is desired, add water to skinny.
To make the salad: In a big bowl, mix the romaine, cucumbers, carrot, radishes, avocado and onion. Toss with the horseradish dressing. High with the meat and the croutons and serve.
