Indulge in a savory steak & blue cheese salad that redefines comfort food with its rich flavors and hearty textures. A true indulgent masterpiece!
Ingredients
- • Ribeye steak: 1 pound
- • Salt: 1 teaspoon
- • Black pepper: 1 teaspoon
- • Olive oil: 2 tablespoons
- • Mixed salad greens: 6 cups
- • Cherry tomatoes: 1 cup, halved
- • Blue cheese crumbles: 1/2 cup
- • Candied pecans: 1/2 cup
- • Red onion: 1/2, thinly sliced
- • Balsamic glaze: 1/4 cup
- • Fresh parsley: 2 tablespoons, chopped
Instructions
- 1 Preheat your grill to high heat. While the grill heats, season the ribeye steak generously with salt and black pepper on both sides.
- 2 Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the steak and evenly coat. Grill the steak for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until it reaches your desired level of doneness.
- 3 Remove the steak from the grill and let it rest for about 5 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring a juicy result.
- 4 While the steak rests, prepare the salad base. In a large salad bowl, combine the mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, blue cheese crumbles, candied pecans, and red onion slices.
- 5 Slice the rested steak thinly against the grain to maximize tenderness. Arrange the steak slices over the prepared salad base.
- 6 Drizzle the balsamic glaze generously over the salad for a sweet and tangy finish. Sprinkle with fresh parsley for a burst of color and flavor.
- 7 Toss the salad gently to combine all the ingredients, ensuring each bite is packed with flavor. Serve immediately for the best experience.
Serving Suggestions
- • This indulgent steak and blue cheese salad pairs beautifully with a crusty bread or buttery garlic knots to soak up the savory juices. For a truly indulgent meal, serve alongside a chilled glass of full-bodied red wine like Cabernet Sauvignon, which complements the richness of the steak and cheese. Alternatively, a crisp, chilled iced tea with a splash of lemon can provide a refreshing contrast to the bold flavors of the salad. To finish the meal, a light fruit sorbet would balance the rich, savory notes with a touch of sweetness.
Storage Tips
To store leftovers, keep the steak slices separate from the salad to maintain freshness. Store the steak in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The salad components can be stored in a covered container for 1-2 days, but keep the dressing separate to prevent sogginess. To reheat the steak, warm it gently in a skillet over low heat to maintain its juiciness. Reassemble the salad just before serving for the best texture and flavor.
