Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ribeye steak
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 head Romaine lettuce
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
- 1 Cucumber
- 0.5 Red onion
- 0.5 cup Crumbled blue cheese
- 0.5 cup Buttermilk
- 0.25 cup Mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons Sour cream
- 1 Garlic clove, minced
- 2 tablespoons Fresh dill, chopped
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Fresh chives, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
Instructions
Season the steak on both sides with salt and black pepper.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil. Once hot, sear the steak for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or longer if desired. Remove from skillet and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing thinly against the grain.
While the steak rests, wash and chop the romaine lettuce into bite-sized pieces, halve the cherry tomatoes, slice the cucumber into thin rounds, and thinly slice the red onion. Arrange these ingredients on a large serving platter.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, mayonnaise, sour cream, minced garlic, chopped dill, parsley, chives, and lemon juice. Season with a small pinch of salt and pepper to taste.
Drizzle about half of the buttermilk dressing over the salad greens. Top the salad with the sliced steak and crumbled blue cheese.
Serve immediately with the remaining dressing on the side.
