Print Recipe

Steak salad is one of my all-time favorite dishes. The combination of tender steak, salty bacon, and tangy bleu cheese creates a flavor explosion that is undeniably satisfying. This recipe is also easy to customize with your favorite vegetables and dressings — you really can’t go wrong!

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 lb sirloin steak
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 4 cups mixed greens
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
  • 4 strips bacon, cooked and crumbled
  • 1/2 cup crumbled bleu cheese
  • Balsamic vinaigrette, for dressing

Instructions

  1. Preheat grill to medium-high heat.
  2. Season the steak with salt and pepper on both sides.
  3. Grill the steak for 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare.
  4. Let the steak rest for 5 minutes before slicing thinly against the grain.
  5. In a large bowl, toss the mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, and red onion together.
  6. Top with sliced steak, crumbled bacon, and bleu cheese.
  7. Drizzle balsamic vinaigrette over the salad and toss to combine.

Notes

You can use any cut of steak that you prefer, such as ribeye or flank steak. If you don’t have a grill, feel free to cook the steak on the stovetop in a skillet. Don’t be afraid to swap in other veggies such as sauteed mushrooms (my favorite) or cucumber for an additional crunch. For a complete meal, I typically serve this salad with a side of buttered garlic bread. Enjoy!
