How to Make Grilled Steak Salad with Bleu Cheese Dressing

Marinate the Steak

I chose a 1 ½ pound top sirloin for this recipe. You could also use a nice ribeye, a skirt steak, or perhaps two New York strip steaks. Just make sure you have about 24 ounces of beef. Gently blot the steak dry with a paper towel.

To make the marinade, combine ½ cup of your favorite bleu cheese dressing, ⅓ cup olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, and Worcestershire sauce in a shallow dish. Use a fork or whisk to thoroughly combine the ingredients.

Add the steak to the marinade, turning it over to make sure that all sides are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight. Remove the steak from the refrigerator 30-45 minutes before cooking so that it can come close to room temperature.

Grilling the Steak

Heat a gas grill to medium heat (about 325 degrees) or prepare a charcoal grill. Remove the steak from the marinade allowing any excess to drip back into the dish. Discard the marinade.

Grill the steak until it reaches the temperature you prefer. For medium-rare, the internal temperature should be 140; for medium, 155.

Prepare the Salad

Prep the lettuce and other salad ingredients.

While the steak is cooking, prepare the Romaine by splitting it lengthwise into halves leaving the root end intact. Place the halves on a baking sheet and drizzle the cut sides with the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper.

Halve the cherry tomatoes.

Slice the celery. I always include a little of the celery leaves. They have such a nice flavor!

Peel and slice the cucumber.

Slice the red onion very thinly. This onion was so large that I chose to use only about ¼ of it. Use whatever amount you think is good for your salad, but remember that it can be a very strong taste and can overwhelm the entire salad if you overdo it.

Place your veggies in a bowl, toss them, and set them aside until you’re ready to assemble the salad.

When the steaks have reached the desired temperature, remove from the grill to a plate and cover with foil.

Grill the Romaine Lettuce

Lower the grill temperature to low and place the Romaine with the cut sides down on indirect heat (a portion of the grill that is not directly over a flame). Cook for 4-5 minutes or until the lettuce is slightly wilted and charred.

Assemble the Salad

Assemble the salad on a large platter. Place the grilled Romaine halves, charred sides up on the platter. Top with the cherry tomatoes, sliced celery, cucumber, and red onion.

Slice the steak against the grain (crosswise) into thin slices. Place the sliced steak on top of the lettuce and vegetables. Drizzle with the remaining dressing and top with additional crumbled bleu cheese (if desired).

Serves 6.

Enjoy!
