More from The Endless Meal
With Mother’s Day coming up, I thought this would make the perfect lunch to share with mom. And yes, I know that steak is normally reserved for Father’s Day. But why can’t us moms have a juicy steak for our day? I think we need to change the stereotypes. (And can someone pour me a glass of whiskey while we’re at it.)
Fall in love with this steak salad
The juicy rib-eye steak is pan-seared to absolute perfection. It doesn’t get any better than this. (And I’ll share the secret of how easy it is to create this masterpiece steak.) Peppery arugula. Because arugula is my all-time favorite. Creamy avocados. Yes! Sweet cherry tomatoes. Crunchy cucumbers. An easy to make balsamic vinaigrette with grainy AND dijon mustard to make it creamy and delicious.
If you salt your steak well and cook it quickly over super high heat, you’ll have the best steak ever for your steak salad. Just look at this gorgeous steak! ↓ When you mix dijon mustard with oil it becomes thick and creamy. So thick that you’ll need to whisk in a little water to make it pourable. All you need for this dressing is:
Dijon mustard Grainy mustard Balsamic vinegar Olive oil
Once you mix those 4 ingredients together and season lightly with salt and pepper, you’ll just need to add a little water to thin it. About a tablespoon will do. This simple vinaigrette is one I often make. While I’ve given the exact quantities you need for this steak salad recipe, it’s really easy to make a larger batch. And since it will keep for weeks in your fridge, you can have it on hand whenever the steak salad mood strikes. (Like, tomorrow.) Instead of:
Arugula, try baby greens or crunchy romaine Cucumbers, try celery or bell peppers Tomatoes, try mangos or persimmons Red onion, try radishes Avocado … wait, please don’t substitute avocado. It’s too good!
And to switch things up some more, a little blue cheese or goat cheese is amazing sprinkled on top. Especially the blue cheese. I LOVE blue cheese.
