Ingredients
- β’ ribeye steak: 1 pound, well-marbled
- β’ olive oil: 2 tablespoons
- β’ salt: 1 teaspoon
- β’ black pepper: 1/2 teaspoon
- β’ mixed salad greens: 8 cups
- β’ cherry tomatoes: 1 cup, halved
- β’ avocado: 1, diced
- β’ hard-boiled eggs: 2, sliced
- β’ blue cheese: 1/2 cup, crumbled
- β’ bacon: 4 slices, cooked and crumbled
- β’ all-purpose flour: 1 cup
- β’ buttermilk: 1 cup
- β’ large onion: 1, sliced into rings
- β’ vegetable oil: for frying
- β’ blue cheese dressing: 1/2 cup
- β’ lemon juice: 1 tablespoon

Instructions
- 1 Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Drizzle the ribeye steak with olive oil, then season generously with salt and black pepper on both sides.
- 2 Grill the steak for about 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until it reaches your desired doneness. Remove from the grill and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing thinly against the grain.
- 3 While the steak is resting, prepare the onion rings. Heat vegetable oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat. Dip the onion rings in buttermilk, then dredge in flour, shaking off any excess.
- 4 Fry the onion rings in batches, turning occasionally, until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per batch. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
- 5 In a large salad bowl, combine mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, avocado, hard-boiled eggs, blue cheese crumbles, and crumbled bacon. Toss gently to combine.
- 6 Arrange the sliced steak and crispy onion rings on top of the salad. Drizzle with blue cheese dressing and a squeeze of lemon juice just before serving.
Serving Suggestions
- β’ To elevate the decadence of this Steakhouse Cobb Salad, serve it alongside a crusty baguette and a rich, buttery Chardonnay. The crispness of the onion rings and the juiciness of the steak are beautifully complemented by the creamy textures of the blue cheese and avocado. For a complete steakhouse experience, pair the salad with a side of garlic butter roasted potatoes or a bowl of creamy lobster bisque. This combination ensures a hearty, satisfying meal that covers all bases, from rich proteins to fresh greens. And for dessert, why not indulge further with a slice of chocolate lava cake or a creamy New York cheesecake to end your meal on a high note?
Storage Tips
To store leftovers, keep the salad components separate from the dressing and onion rings to maintain their texture. Store the steak, salad, and onion rings in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat the onion rings in an air fryer or oven to regain crispiness, and gently warm the steak in a skillet before assembling the salad again. When ready to eat, reassemble the salad, adding the onion rings and dressing right before serving to keep them fresh and crisp.
