Summer Steak Salad

Step 1

Remove steaks from the refrigerator and allow them to sit at room temperature for 30 minutes. Generously season each steak with salt and pepper.

Step 2

Preheat oven to 400˚F.

Step 3

Place all dressing ingredients into a small bowl and whisk together until smooth. Add 2 tablespoons water to adjust consistency. Season with salt and pepper. Refrigerate until ready to use.

Step 4

Place a large cast iron skillet over high heat.

Step 5

Add oil and swirl around skillet. Add steaks to skillet and sear on each side for 2 minutes. Transfer skillet to oven and cook for about 7-8 minutes for medium rare and 9-10 minutes for medium. Remove steaks from oven and transfer to a cutting board.

Step 6

Allow steaks to cool, about 30 minutes. Tightly wrap each steak in foil and refrigerate for at least 1 hour and up to 12 hours.

Step 7

To serve: Remove foil from steaks and slice into 1/2 inch pieces. Spread steak pieces onto a platter, lightly season with salt and pepper and line with remaining ingredients.

Step 8

Serve with bleu cheese dressing on the side and allow guests to grab however much or little they want from the platter.
