Tips and Notes

  • Steak: Choose cuts like ribeye, sirloin, or flank steak for grilling. Season generously with salt, pepper, and your favorite spices before grilling to enhance the flavor.
  • Grilling: Preheat the grill to medium-high heat and cook the steak for about 4-6 minutes per side, depending on your desired doneness. Let it rest for a few minutes before slicing to retain juices.
  • Greens: Use a mix of greens such as arugula, spinach, or romaine for added flavor and texture. Toss in other ingredients like avocado or nuts for extra crunch.
  • Blue Cheese: Crumble high-quality blue cheese over the salad for a rich and tangy flavor that complements the grilled steak. If blue cheese isn’t your favorite, goat cheese or feta also work well.
  • Storage: Store any leftover salad in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Keep the dressing separate until ready to serve to maintain freshness.
