1. Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
2. Rub the ribeye steak with salt, ground black pepper, and 1 tablespoon of olive oil to season it evenly.
3. Grill the steak for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until it reaches your desired level of doneness. Use a meat thermometer to ensure accuracy; 130°F (54°C) is medium-rare.
4. Remove the steak from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes. Slice it thinly against the grain after resting.
5. While the steak cooks and rests, prepare the dressing by combining the crumbled bleu cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise, milk, white vinegar, garlic powder, and dried parsley in a small mixing bowl. Whisk until smooth and creamy. Adjust the consistency with more milk if needed.
6. In a large bowl, arrange the mixed salad greens as a base. Top with cherry tomatoes, sliced cucumber, and red onion.
7. Add the sliced steak over the greens. Drizzle the salad with the prepared bleu cheese dressing and garnish with additional crumbled bleu cheese if desired.
8. Serve immediately and enjoy your Grilled Steak Salad with Crumbly Bleu Salad Dressing!
