  • ½ cup blue cheese crumbles
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 pinch salt and pepper

Instructions

  1. 1

    Season the 1 lb steak generously with salt and pepper on both sides. Let it sit at room temperature for 10 minutes.

  2. 2

    Heat a grill or grill pan over high heat. Add the steak and cook for 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, until nicely charred and internal temperature reaches 130°F.

    While the steak cooks, toss the 4 cups mixed greens with 2 tbsp olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper. Slice the 1 tomato and add to the salad.

  4. 4

    Remove the steak from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes. Then slice it against the grain.

    Top the salad with the sliced steak and 0.5 cup blue cheese crumbles. Drizzle with the remaining 1 tbsp olive oil and serve.
