Ingredients
- • ribeye steak: 1 lb, cut into thin strips
- • buffalo sauce: 1/2 cup
- • mixed salad greens: 6 cups
- • cherry tomatoes: 1 cup, halved
- • blue cheese crumbles: 1/2 cup
- • red onion: 1, thinly sliced
- • buttermilk: 1 cup
- • all-purpose flour: 1 cup
- • paprika: 1 tsp
- • salt: 1 tsp
- • black pepper: 1 tsp
- • vegetable oil: for frying
- • blue cheese dressing: 1/2 cup
- • olive oil: 2 tbsp
- • lemon juice: 1 tbsp
Instructions
- 1 In a large bowl, marinate the ribeye steak strips in buffalo sauce for at least 30 minutes. While marinating, prepare the onion rings.
- 2 Soak the onion slices in buttermilk for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, in a separate bowl, mix flour, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
- 3 Heat vegetable oil in a deep pan over medium-high heat. Dredge the soaked onion slices in the flour mixture, ensuring they are well-coated.
- 4 Fry the onion rings in hot oil until golden brown and crispy, approximately 3 minutes per batch. Drain on paper towels and set aside.
- 5 In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Sear the marinated steak strips until cooked through and caramelized, about 4-5 minutes.
- 6 In a large salad bowl, combine mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, and red onion slices. Drizzle with lemon juice and gently toss to combine.
- 7 Arrange the seared steak strips on top of the salad. Add blue cheese crumbles for an extra layer of richness.
- 8 Generously top the salad with crispy onion rings and drizzle with blue cheese dressing before serving.
Serving Suggestions
- • This Blazing Buffalo Steak Salad pairs perfectly with a side of buttery garlic bread to soak up any extra dressing. For a refreshing beverage, consider serving it with a chilled glass of white wine or a light beer, which complements the spicy steak and creamy components beautifully. If you're feeling extra indulgent, a side of mashed potatoes could add an additional layer of comfort to this sumptuous meal.
Storage Tips
Store any leftover salad in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To keep the onion rings crispy, store them separately from the salad and reheat in the oven or air fryer before serving. For best results, only dress the salad just before serving to avoid wilting the greens.
