Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ribeye steak
- 4 cups baby spinach
- 2 cups arugula
- 0.5 cup blue cheese crumbles
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes
- 0.5 cup red onion
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 2 cloves garlic cloves
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon butter
Instructions
Season the ribeye steak on both sides with salt and black pepper.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and the butter.
Once the skillet is hot, sear the steak for 3-4 minutes on each side for medium-rare doneness, or adjust the cooking time to your desired level. Remove the steak from the skillet, cover it with foil, and let it rest for 5-10 minutes.
While the steak is resting, prepare the salad base. In a large bowl, combine the baby spinach, arugula, cherry tomatoes (halved), and thinly sliced red onion.
In a small bowl, whisk together 1 tablespoon of olive oil, balsamic vinegar, minced garlic cloves, a pinch of salt, and black pepper to taste to make the dressing.
Thinly slice the rested steak against the grain to maximize tenderness.
Arrange the salad base onto serving plates, top with the warm steak slices, and sprinkle with blue cheese crumbles.
Drizzle the dressing over the salad and serve immediately.
