Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb steak (ribeye, sirloin, or flank steak)
  • 6 cups romaine lettuce or mixed greens, chopped
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 cucumber, diced
  • 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 large avocado, diced
  • 5 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
  • 3 hard-boiled eggs, sliced
  • 3/4 cup blue cheese crumbles
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1/3 cup red wine vinaigrette or ranch dressing
  • Optional: chopped chives or parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Season the steak generously with salt and black pepper.
  2. Heat a skillet or grill over medium-high heat and add olive oil.
  3. Cook the steak for 3–5 minutes per side depending on thickness and desired doneness.
  4. Remove steak from heat and let it rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing thinly against the grain.
  5. Cook bacon until crispy, then transfer to paper towels and crumble.
  6. Boil eggs for 9–10 minutes, then cool, peel, and slice.
  7. Wash and chop lettuce, tomatoes, cucumber, and onion.
  8. Arrange lettuce as the base in a large bowl or platter.
  9. Top with rows of sliced steak, bacon, eggs, avocado, tomatoes, onion, and blue cheese.
  10. Drizzle dressing over the salad or serve it on the side.
  11. Garnish with herbs if desired and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Let the steak rest before slicing to keep it juicy.
  • Use fresh, crisp vegetables for the best texture.
  • Slice steak against the grain for tenderness.
  • Store components separately for meal prep to maintain freshness.
  • Add dressing just before serving to prevent soggy greens.
  • Use a meat thermometer for precise doneness (130°F for medium-rare).
