Ingredients
Scale
- 1½ to 2 pounds steak (skirt or flank)
- 2 romaine hearts, chopped
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 avocado, sliced
- ½ red onion, thinly sliced
- 4 oz blue cheese, crumbled
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- ¼ cup sour cream
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon white vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- ¼ cup blue cheese crumbles
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Pat steak dry, season with salt and pepper, and add a little oil.
- Cook steak in a hot skillet or grill pan for 4 to 5 minutes per side.
- Remove and let rest for 5 to 10 minutes.
- In a bowl, mix mayonnaise, sour cream, lemon juice, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, and blue cheese until creamy.
- Prepare salad base with romaine, tomatoes, onion, and avocado.
- Slice steak thinly against the grain.
- Add steak to salad, drizzle with dressing, and top with extra blue cheese.
Notes
Use warm steak for best flavor as it slightly melts the cheese and dressing. Slice steak thin and against the grain for tenderness. Start with a small amount of dressing and add more as needed. Store components separately for freshness and best texture.
