Indulge in our Ultimate Steak & Cheese Cobb Salad with crispy onion ring croutons for a flavor-packed, crave-worthy meal!
Ingredients
- • Ribeye steak: 1 pound
- • Salt and pepper: to taste
- • Olive oil: 2 tablespoons
- • Mixed greens: 5 cups
- • Cherry tomatoes: 1 cup, halved
- • Avocados: 2, sliced
- • Hard-boiled eggs: 4, sliced
- • Blue cheese: 1 cup, crumbled
- • Thick-cut bacon: 6 slices, cooked and chopped
- • Buttermilk: 1 cup
- • All-purpose flour: 1 cup
- • Yellow onion: 1 large, sliced into rings
- • Vegetable oil: for frying
- • Blue cheese dressing: 1 cup
Instructions
- 1 Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to keep the onion rings warm. Begin by seasoning the ribeye steak generously with salt and pepper. Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the steak for 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or to your desired doneness. Let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing thinly against the grain.
- 2 While the steak rests, prepare the onion rings. Pour vegetable oil into a deep pot, filling it about 2 inches deep, and heat to 350°F (175°C). In a bowl, combine buttermilk and a pinch of salt. Dredge onion rings in flour, then dip in buttermilk, and coat again with flour. Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes. Drain on paper towels and keep warm in the oven.
- 3 Arrange mixed greens on a large platter. Top with cherry tomatoes, sliced avocados, hard-boiled eggs, crumbled blue cheese, and chopped bacon. Add the sliced steak over the top, distributing evenly.
- 4 Drizzle the salad generously with blue cheese dressing. Top with the crispy onion ring croutons. Serve immediately, ensuring each portion includes steak, cheese, and a good crunch from the onion rings.
Serving Suggestions
- • The Ultimate Steak & Cheese Cobb Salad is a meal in itself, but if you're looking to complement it, consider pairing it with a crisp white wine like Sauvignon Blanc or a refreshing iced tea. For added indulgence, serve with a side of warm, crusty garlic bread. This salad also works beautifully as a show-stopping centerpiece for a brunch gathering or a special dinner event.
Storage Tips
Store any leftover salad components separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator. Keep the onion rings in a paper towel-lined container to maintain crispness. Reheat them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for a few minutes before serving again. Consume all components within 2-3 days for the best quality.
