Mommy'S Cravin' Steak! Salad - cooking recipe
Ingredients
-
4 (8 ounce) steaks, filet mignon is my favorite
1 (5 ounce) bag spring greens (baby spring mix if available)
1 (5 ounce) bag Baby Spinach (or one to two 5.5oz bags Fresh Express brand 50/50 Mix is what we like, depending on amount needed)
1 quart grape tomatoes
1 quart broccosprouts, to taste
1 green bell pepper, diced
1/2 onion (walla walla or vidalia)
1/2 cup broccoli floret
1/2 cup cauliflower floret
1 cucumber, sliced and peeled
1/2 cup zucchini, chopped (cut into desired size)
1/2 cup yellow squash, chopped (cut into desired size)
1 cup blue cheese, crumbled
SUGGESTED STEAK SEASONINGS
McCormick's Montreal Brand steak seasoning, to taste (optional)
olive oil, to taste (optional)
garlic powder, to taste (optional)
rudy's barbecue sauce, to taste (optional)
Preparation
-
Coat the steaks in a blend of oil and seasonings such as Montreal steak seasoning and garlic powder.
Grill to desired doneness.
Apply a brushing of bbq sauce, if desired before allowing meat to \"rest\" for 5 minutes prior to slicing. ( Rudy's BBQ sauce is a nice one if you aren't sprucing one up or making your own).
Depending on the number of servings desired, mix all prepared veggies in a LARGE bowl.
Mix in sliced steak and blue cheese crumbles.
At this point you can either dress the entire salad with a nice vinaigrette and toss lightly before serving, or allow each guest to select their own dressing. (a vinaigrette compliments the flavors best).
Serve with a nice baguette, crescent roll, and your favorite red wine.
ENJOY (hopefully outside somewhere nice!) :).
