Ingredients

The following ingredients have 2 Servings
  • 2 filets or strip steaks
  • kosher salt and pepper
  • 12 ounces spring greens
  • 2 baby cucumbers, (chopped)
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, (quartered)
  • 1 avocado, (thinly sliced)
  • 3 tablespoons roasted pepitas
  • pickled red onions, (for topping)
  • 3 tablespoons white wine vinegar
  • 1 garlic clove, (minced)
  • 1 tablespoon chopped chives
  • 1 tablespoon fresh dill
  • 1 teaspoon honey
  • 1 teaspoon dijon mustard
  • pinch of salt and pepper
  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • 3 to 4 tablespoons crumbled blue cheese

Instruction

  • Preheat your grill to the highest setting. Take the steak out of the fridge for at least 30 minutes to take the chill off. While the steak comes to room temperature, I make the dressing and the salad.
  • Assemble the salad by tossing the greens with a big pinch of salt and pepper in a large bowl. Add in the tomatoes, cucumbers and red (pickled) onions.
  • Place the steak on the grill grates and cook for 5 minutes, then flip and cook for 3 to 5 minutes more. I like to cook mine until they reach an internal temperature of 140 degrees F. Remove the steaks and let them rest for 10 to 15 minutes before slicing.
  • Add the avocado and the sliced steak to the salad. Sprinkle with the pepitas. Drizzle with the blue cheese vinaigrette and serve immediately!
