Indulge in this rich, meaty steak salad with crispy bacon and creamy dressing for the ultimate comfort salad experience.
Ingredients
- • Ribeye steak: 1 lb (about 2 steaks)
- • Thick-cut bacon: 6 slices
- • Mixed greens: 8 cups
- • Cherry tomatoes: 1 cup, halved
- • Red onion: 1 small, thinly sliced
- • Blue cheese crumbles: 1/2 cup
- • Garlic croutons: 1 cup
- • Olive oil: 2 tablespoons
- • Salt and pepper: to taste
- • Creamy dressing (Ranch or Blue Cheese): 1/2 cup
- • Lemon juice: 1 tablespoon
Instructions
- 1 Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
- 2 Season the ribeye steaks generously with salt and pepper. Drizzle with olive oil to prevent sticking.
- 3 Grill the steaks for 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until they reach your desired doneness. Remove from heat, let rest for 5 minutes, then slice thinly against the grain.
- 4 While the steaks are resting, cook the bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels. Once cool, crumble into pieces.
- 5 In a large salad bowl, combine the mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, and red onion. Toss with lemon juice and a dash of salt to enhance freshness.
- 6 Arrange the sliced steak and crumbled bacon over the salad. Sprinkle with blue cheese crumbles and garlic croutons for added texture and flavor.
- 7 Drizzle the creamy dressing over the salad just before serving to ensure the greens stay crisp.
- 8 Toss gently to combine all ingredients, ensuring each bite is coated with the flavorful dressing.
Serving Suggestions
- • This hearty salad is a complete meal on its own, but pairing it with a side of warm, crusty bread can enhance the dining experience. For a perfect beverage match, consider a robust red wine like Cabernet Sauvignon, which complements the richness of the steak and bacon. Alternatively, a chilled glass of sparkling water with a twist of lemon can provide a refreshing contrast to the salad's indulgent flavors.
Storage Tips
To store any leftovers, separate the salad from the dressing to maintain the crispness of the greens. Keep the salad in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Store the dressing separately in a sealed jar. When ready to enjoy again, add the dressing just before serving to preserve the texture.
