Steak Salad with Creamy Ranch Dressing
Becky Luigart-Stayner
Topped with homemade croutons and juicy slices of spice-rubbed steak, this salad is macho enough to satisfy the most dedicated meat-eaters.
How to Make It
Step 1
Heat a nonstick grill pan over medium-high heat.
Step 2
Preheat broiler.
Step 3
To prepare steak, combine the first 5 ingredients; rub evenly over both sides of steak. Coat grill pan with cooking spray. Cook steak 4 minutes on each side or until desired degree of doneness. Remove from pan; let stand 5 minutes. Cut steak diagonally across grain into thin slices.
Step 4
While steak stands, prepare salad. Place bread slices on a baking sheet. Broil 2 minutes on each side or until lightly browned. Rub cut sides of garlic halves over bread slices. Cut bread into (3/4-inch) cubes. Combine bread cubes, tomatoes, cucumber, onion, and lettuce in a large bowl. Add dressing, tossing gently to coat. Divide salad evenly among 4 plates; top with steak.

Delicious! Very simple recipe -- great for a weeknight. The rub was really tasty. Didn't bother to make the homemade croutons. Keeping the steak medium rare helped enhance its juiciness.

Easy enough to make, but I was hoping for a real ranch dressing recipe when I clicked on this one. I hate eating store bought dressing- too many chemicals ;-{.
JennySmith's Review
I think we'd rate this 3.5 stars. I made the following modifications: added carrots, used creamy italian dressing and romaine lettuce, grilled the steak on the BBQ. The steak was a lot spicier than I expected, which was nice. I'm not sure creamy italian was the right dressing...although I'm not sure ranch would be, either. I suppose this salad can work with whatever dressing you want, although I suppose they suggest ranch to temper the spiciness of the steak. This would be a very good weeknight meal that is quick and easy.
