Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ribeye steak
- 5 cups Mixed salad greens
- 1 pint Cherry tomatoes
- 1 Red onion
- 4 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Balsamic vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 2 Garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 cup Crumbled blue cheese
- 1 Avocado
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Season the ribeye steak generously with salt and black pepper on both sides.
Grill the steak for 4-5 minutes on each side or until it reaches your desired doneness. Use a meat thermometer to check for precise cooking (130°F for medium-rare, 140°F for medium).
Remove the steak from the grill and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
While the steak is resting, prepare the salad dressing. In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons of olive oil, balsamic vinegar, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the mixed salad greens, halved cherry tomatoes, and thinly sliced red onion.
Slice the avocado and add it to the salad.
Once the steak has rested, slice it thinly against the grain and add it to the salad.
Drizzle the balsamic vinaigrette over the salad and toss gently to combine.
Sprinkle the crumbled blue cheese over the salad.
Serve the salad immediately, adjusting seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.
