It’s the type of light yet elegant dish that I can see myself presenting to my fictional celebrity pals at a laid-back summer party: juicy grilled steak tumbling with arugula, cherry tomatoes, and blue cheese in a zesty honey vinaigrette.Steak Salad

I feel posh when I cook steak, but this steak salad isn’t pompous at all.Steak Salad

Thanks to the meat, it’s filling without being ostentatious (see out those greens!).

I know how intimidating it can be if you’ve never cooked steak before.

I didn’t think that cooking steak was any more difficult than creating grilled chicken breast with strawberry avocado salsa until I made flank steak tacos.

• Use a marinate or liberally season the meat with salt and pepper.
• To avoid overcooking it, use a meat thermometer.
• To allow the juices to integrate, let the meat rest.
• Cut against the grain of the flesh.

Let’s get this done!

How to Prepare the Ideal Steak Salad

Other strong-tasting elements that can rival the meat, such as peppery greens like arugula, pungent blue cheese, and a tart, acidic dressing like balsamic vinaigrette to balance the meat’s richness, go well with salad steaks.

You can cook the steak for your salad in one of the following ways:

• Make BBQ steak salad on the grill throughout the summer.
• Not a grill? For steak salad, you can alternatively grill the beef.
• Do you adore your air fryer? For a simple preparation approach, check out Air Fryer Steak (this would be ideal for ribeye steak salad).

The Ingredients

• Steak. Delicious, succulent, and succulent right off the grill. Iron, vitamins, protein, and flavor are all abundant in steak.
• Steak Marinade. a straightforward combination of balsamic vinegar, olive oil, salt, and pepper. It helps season the meat throughout and tenderize it.
• Red Onion. The onion gets caramelized, sweet, and flavorful after grilling.
• Cherry Tomatoes. Cherry tomatoes give the salad rich, sweet bursts that I adore. Additionally, their hue contrasts well with the greens. Cherry tomatoes are also a standout ingredient in Greek salads!
• Mixed Greens. Any green you like can be used here! You can add fiber to this salad by using chopped romaine lettuce, spinach, mixed greens, or another type.
• Arugula. to give the meat a delightfully spicy bite.
• Blue Cheese. Tangy, salty, and creamy. Blue cheese, such as gorgonzola, enhances the flavor of the salad and pairs well with steak.
• Best Steak Salad Dressing. The light dressing for this salad is composed of honey, Dijon mustard, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt, and pepper. It reduces the steak’s richness without dominating it.

The Directions

• Let the beef marinate. Get the vegetables ready.

• Mix the dressing ingredients with a whisk.

• Put the meat and onion on the grill.

• Give the meat time to rest.

• In a large bowl, combine the salad ingredients (except for the steak).

• Drizzle the dressing on top and toss to coat.

• Add the steak to the salad after slicing it thinly against the grain. Add more blue cheese on top. GO IN!

Storage Tips

• To Store. Keep any leftover salad in the fridge for up to three days in an airtight container. Store the salad, dressing, and steak separately if at all feasible.
• To Reheat. Reheat the steak gently in the microwave or in a skillet over medium-low heat.
• To Freeze. Steak leftovers can be stored for up to three months in an airtight, freezer-safe container; defrost overnight in the fridge before reheating.

Serve Steak Salad with These Side Dishes

• Vegetables. The Air Fryer This salad would go well with roasted fingerling potatoes, grilled broccoli, grilled corn, and asparagus.
• Fries. Fries and steak go really well together! Try this salad with baked French fries, zucchini fries, or air-fried French fries.
• Bread. Serve this salad with Roasted Garlic Potato Rolls or Cornbread Muffins.

Suggested Equipment for Preparing This Recipe

• A thermometer that reads instantly. The best method for determining when a steak is done.
• Salad Spinner. An essential kitchen utensil for salad preparation.
• Sharp Chef’s Knife. Perfect for chopping the salad items with ease.

When steak salad with blue cheese is served, everyone feels like a movie star!

Steak Salad

A tasty and nutritious salad of grilled beef with vinaigrette dressing and blue cheese. Excellent for simple dinners and hearty lunches!

Ingredients

FOR THE STEAK:

• One and a half pounds of hanger, skirt, or flank steak
• One-half teaspoon of kosher salt
• Half a teaspoon of black pepper, ground
• Two tablespoons of vinegar with balsamic
• Extra virgin olive oil, one tablespoon

FOR THE SALAD:

• One huge red onion
• One pint of cherry tomatoes
• Three cups of mixed greens chopped spinach, romaine, or any other type of lettuce
• Three cups of arugula
• Four ounces of gorgonzola or other crumbled blue cheese and
• extra virgin olive oil divided for grilling the onion

FOR THE DRESSING:

• Half a cup of balsamic acid
• Three tablespoons of unsaturated olive oil
• One teaspoon of Dijon mustard
• One teaspoon of honey
• Half a teaspoon of kosher salt, plus more to taste
• One-sixth teaspoon of ground black pepper, plus more to taste

Instructions

• Prepare the steak by patting it dry with paper towels. Add the oil, balsamic vinegar, salt, and pepper to a big bowl or zip-lock bag. If using, seal the bag by expelling as much air as you can. To coat the meat, turn. Refrigerate overnight or leave at room temperature for 30 minutes.
• In the meantime, chop the onion into rings that are 1/2 inch thick. Apply a little layer of olive oil to either side. Halve the cherry tomatoes.
• Prepare the dressing: Balsamic, oil, Dijon, honey, salt, and pepper should all be whisked together in a medium basin or big measuring cup.
• To cook the steak and onion, preheat the oven broiler or the grill to medium-high heat (425 to 450 degrees F). Line a rimmed baking pan with foil if you plan to use the broiler. As much of the marinade as you can should drip off the steak as you remove it from the marinade. Depending on its thickness, grill or broil the steak and onion for 3 to 4 minutes on each side, or until the meat reaches 130 degrees Fahrenheit on an instant read thermometer. The steak should be medium-rare. It will be tough, but if you prefer your steak well done, cook it for another one to two minutes.
• Let the steak rest for at least five minutes after placing it on a chopping board.
• Combine the grilled onions (separate the rings as you add them), mixed greens, arugula, halved tomatoes, and half of the cheese in a large bowl.
• Toss to coat after adding enough dressing to wet the top. Place the salad in the middle of a big serving platter or divide it among separate plates.
• Slice the meat VERY thinly, about 1/4 inch broad, across the grain. Serve with the salad or on top of it. Add the remaining blue cheese over top. Have fun!
