  1. 1

    Cook the Steak

    Season the steak with salt and pepper. Grill or pan-sear the steak over medium-high heat for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until desired doneness. Let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

    Cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Remove from the skillet and drain on paper towels. Once cool, crumble into pieces.

  3. 3

    Boil the Eggs

    Place eggs in a saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil, then cover and remove from heat. Let sit for 9-12 minutes. Cool in ice water, then peel and slice.

    Prepare the Vegetables

    Slice the avocado and red onion. Halve the cherry tomatoes.

    In a blender, combine fresh basil, mayonnaise, lemon juice, garlic, salt, and pepper. Blend until smooth.

  6. 6
