30 minutes
Ranger with roast beef is a vibrant representative of American cuisine, combining the rich flavor of roasted beef with the freshness of crunchy vegetables. Historically, this salad originated in American restaurants aiming to create a light yet nutritious dish for meat delicacy lovers. Marinated roast beef, seared to tender juiciness, harmonizes with a mix of salads, cherry tomatoes, and spicy onions. The dressing made from mayonnaise, mustard, and balsamic vinegar highlights the complexity of flavor nuances, creating a balance between the richness of the meat and the freshness of greens. Thin slices of Grana Padano add exquisite creaminess. This dish is perfect for both a light lunch and a festive dinner, adding dynamism to the taste and elegance to the presentation.
