Ingredients
  

For the Salad
  • 1 lb Ribeye, sirloin, or flank steak For a leaner option, try a tender fillet.
  • 4 cups Mixed salad greens (romaine and arugula) Spinach could be an alternative.
  • 1 Avocado Enhances flavor and provides healthy fats.
  • 1 cup Cherry tomatoes, halved Sweet and juicy; grape tomatoes can also be used.
  • 2 Hard-boiled eggs Poached eggs can be used for a different flavor.
  • 1/2 cup Blue cheese, crumbled Feta cheese can substitute for a milder flavor.
  • 4 slices Bacon, cooked until crispy Turkey bacon or crispy chickpeas can be alternatives.
  • 1 cup Cucumber, sliced Can swap for bell peppers.
  • 2 tablespoons Olive oil For drizzling.
  • 2 tablespoons Red wine vinegar Adds a nice tang to the salad.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Season the steak with salt and pepper. Grill it over medium-high heat for about 5-7 minutes per side for medium-rare. Let it rest before slicing.
  2. Place the eggs in boiling water for 9-12 minutes depending on desired doneness. Transfer to ice water to cool before peeling.
  3. While steak and eggs are cooking, chop the mixed greens, slice the cucumber, halve the cherry tomatoes, and dice the avocado.
  4. In a pan over medium heat, cook the bacon until crispy. Drain on paper towels and chop into bits.
Assembly
  1. In a large bowl, combine the greens, cucumber, tomatoes, avocado, and blue cheese. Slice the steak thinly and add it on top, along with the chopped eggs and bacon.
  2. Drizzle olive oil and red wine vinegar over the salad, tossing gently to combine everything without mashing the avocado.

Notes

Let the steak rest to retain juices for more flavor. Use the egg peeling trick for easier removal of the shell. Ensure bacon is crispy for the best texture. Keep dressing separate until serving to maintain the crispness of the greens. Feel free to add in your favorite nuts or seeds for added crunch.
