Salad with steak, blue cheese and pears

Dear Reader,

I have been wanting to share this beyond-awesome recipe with you for some time, but life has been getting in the way… until now.

Despite my life-time aversion to the salad world (which I have been working on), we so love this salad… so much so that we are having it for dinner again tonight.

Gooseberry Patch Cookbook

You can find the recipe in 101 Soups, Salads & Sandwiches ( or the Kindle Version).

Broil Steak

I started by “grilling” my steak in a broiler.

Lettuce for salad

While it rested, I arranged my lettuce in our bowls. We used a Butter Bliss Lettuce mix.

Shallot

We were out of red onions, so I chopped up a shallot to add to the greens.

I then sliced up two pears and added them.

Now, I am usually anti fruit in my salad, but trust me, this sooo works in this salad.

pears

I then sliced up my steak and added it to each salad.

Steak slices

Now throw on a little crumbled blue cheese…

Salad with steak, blue cheese and pears

And drizzle on your homemade Red Wine Vinaigrette…

Fancy, super difficult?

Nah…

Just mix 1 part red wine vinegar with 2 parts Extra Virgin Olive Oil… add a little lemon juice if desired… some honey if you want it a little sweeter.

Add salt and pepper

And 1/2 T dried Tarragon Leaves (or 1 T fresh).

Mix up and drizzle on.

My man carnivore completely enjoyed this meal! He says it is one of the best dishes I have ever made… sounds like a keeper to me!

(The carnivore and the recipe ;)).

    Mmmm yum.  Ok, except for the cheese.  I might have to switch it out for some goat or feta.  Maybe I should make a salad soon.  Like tomorrow.  🙂
