Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 3 (12 ounce) strip steaks
  • 2 Tbsp balsamic vinegar
  • 1 Tbsp honey
  • 1/2 tsp freshly cracked pepper
  • 1/3 cup olive oil
  • 5 oz spring mix lettuce greens
  • 8 oz fresh green beans, trimmed and blanched
  • 1/2 pint grape or cherry tomatoes cut in half
  • 4 oz crumbled blue cheese
  • coarse kosher salt and freshly cracked pepper to taste

Method
 

  1. In a small mixing bowl, combine balsamic vinegar, honey and pepper. While whisking, slowly add oil to create a vinaigrette. Add a pinch of salt or more to taste; set aside.
  2. Preheat grill. Season strip steaks with salt and pepper and grill to desired doneness. Allow steaks to rest 5 minutes before slicing thinly across the grain.
  3. In a large bowl, combine mixed greens, green beans and tomatoes. Lightly drizzle vinaigrette on salad and gently toss (refrigerate extra dressing for another time). Serve with warm steak strips and garnish with blue cheese.
