Steak and Bleu Salad

As we are closing out this summer, one of our favorite salads is a version of a wedge salad. As many of you know, Saturday is yard day in our home and we spend four to five hours cleaning the garden, pruning, weeding, planting, etc. And I make dinner very early in the morning.

This salad is a wonderfully refreshing dinner and hubby grills the steak right before we eat.

The steak is flavorful and delicious. 

I put the salad dressing and salad together earlier but don’t add the dressing until we are ready to eat. 

Try it, you will love it. 

Steak and Bleu Salad

Ingredients

2 tablespoons whole-grain mustard

3 dashes Worcestershire sauce

1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar

1/4 teaspoon kosher salt

1/4 teaspoon pepper

1 pound steak 

5 ounces arugula

1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved

3/4 cup chopped celery

2 green onions, chopped

3 ounces blue cheese, crumbled

2 tablespoons lemon juice

1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil

Directions

Heat a grill to high (450° to 550°). Mix mustard, Worcestershire, vinegar, salt, and pepper in a medium bowl. Add steak, tossing to coat.

Grill steak, turning once halfway through, until done the way you like, 6 to 8 minutes for medium. Let rest, covered with foil, 10 minutes before slicing.

Put remaining ingredients in a large bowl and toss gently to combine. Divide salad among 4 plates and serve steak over salad.
