Black and Blue Steak Salad

Ingredients:

For the Blue Cheese Dressing:

¼ cup mayo (whatever type you prefer)
¼ cup plain greek yogurt
¼ tsp worcestershire sauce
¼ tsp salt
¼ tsp fresh ground black pepper
1 tsp apple cider vinegar
¼ – ½ cup of skim milk
2 TBSP blue cheese, crumbled

For the Steak:

4 sirloin steaks
1 – 2 TBSP Montreal Steak Spice Seasoning

For the Salad:

6 – 8 cups romaine salad, chopped
2 -3 plum tomatoes, chopped or 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
2 avocados, sliced or chopped
1 cup croutons (optional)
¼ cup red onion, thinly sliced
4 TBSP blue cheese, crumbled

Preparation:

Preheat your bbq to medium high heat.

For the Blue Cheese Dressing: In a blender or food processor (use your Magic Bullet if you have one) add all the dressing ingredients – start with ¼ cup of milk – and blend. Scrap down sides and blend again until smooth. Add a little more milk if dressing is too thick. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use. (Now would be the time to pour the dressing into a squeeze bottle and refrigerate.)

For the Steak: Generously sprinkle both sides of steak with Montreal Steak Seasoning. Massage into the meat with your fingertips. Grill steaks on each side until cooked to desired doneness. Once cooked, remove from bbq and allow to rest for 5 minutes before slicing very thinly.

For the Salad: Put romaine lettuce into a large salad bowl, add the croutons, tomatoes, steak, avocado, red onion, blue cheese crumbles and croutons (if using). Drizzle with blue cheese dressing ~ mix well and serve. (makes 4 servings)
