FOR THE MARINADE & DRESSING:
- 3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 2 teaspoons honey
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon dijon mustard
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt or to taste
- 1/4 teaspoon ground white pepper can be subbed to black, or to taste
FOR THE SALAD:
- 2 lb sirloin or rib-eye steak
- 6 cups chopped romaine lettuce
- 2 vine tomatoes diced
- 1/2 medium red onion sliced
- 8- ounce blue cheese crumbled
- ½ cup Kalamata Olives Divided into 4
Whisk all the marinade/dressing ingredients into a bowl.
Place the steak into a shallow dish, and pour 1/3 of the prepared marinade/dressing.
Gently massage the steak to evenly distribute the marinade on all sides. Allow it to sit for 15 minutes, to get to room temp.
Meanwhile, prepare the veggies for the salad.
Brush the grill or a heavy-bottom pan with oil and heat over medium-high heat.
Cook the steak on both sides, for about 5 minutes in total for a medium-rare. (Cooking time depends on the thickness of your steaks). Or, cook it according to your level of doneness.
Remove the steaks from the grill/pan, and allow it to rest for a few minutes, then slice into 1/2-inch thick pieces.
Combine the tomatoes, onion, and lettuce to a large salad bowl. Add sliced steaks and pour the remaining dressing on top.
Garnish with crumbled cheese, toss well and serve.
- Allow your steak to rest before cutting, if you cut too soon you will lose all those delicious juices!
- Slice across the grain of the steak, for a super tender bite.
- Make sure your onion is cut into nice thin slices, you don't want a big hit of onion overpowering the other flavors on the fork.
- Some people find blue cheese a bit too overpowering, you could swap blue cheese for feta or cotija cheese.
