Equipment

Ingredients
 
 

For the Steak Salad

  • 8 ounces cooked steak (sliced, see note)
  • 10 ounces tomatoes (sliced)
  • 4 cups salad greens
  • 1 purple onion (sliced)
  • ⅓ cup blue cheese (or gorgonzola cheese, see note)

For the Balsamic Dressing

  • ½ cup olive oil
  • ¼ cup balsamic vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon garlic (minced, about 1 clove)
  • 2 teaspoons honey
  • 1 teaspoon dijon mustard
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon pepper

Instructions
 

For the Balsamic Dressing:

  • Combine all ingredients in a mason jar. Shake well to combine. 

For the Steak Salad:

  • Layer the sliced steak, tomatoes, and onions over the salad greens. 
  • Crumble the cheese over the top. 
  • Top with half of the salad dressing, serve the rest on the side. 

Notes

  • Eight ounces of steak is about 2 small steaks or 1 large steak. I use a variety of cuts for this recipe. New York strips are our favorite.
  • Gorgonzola is a great substitution for blue cheese, and the amount of cheese is flexible.
  • Let the dressing rest while you assemble the salad so it has a bit of time to build flavor. I can literally just drink this dressing, it's so good!
  • I'll usually serve some sort of garlic bread on the side with this salad for an easy side.
