Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Filet Mignon Tips

    In a skillet over medium-high heat, cook the filet mignon tips until browned and cooked to your desired doneness, about 3-4 minutes for medium rare. Remove from heat and let rest.

  2. 2

    Chop the Vegetables

    While the meat is resting, chop the romaine lettuce, tomatoes, carrots, bell peppers, onion, and cucumber into bite-sized pieces.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Hard-Boiled Eggs

    Peel the hard-boiled eggs and slice them into quarters.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Salad

    In a large salad bowl, combine the chopped romaine, tomatoes, carrots, bell peppers, onion, and cucumber. Top with the cooked filet mignon tips, cheddar cheese, croutons, and hard-boiled egg quarters.

  5. 5

    Dress the Salad

    Drizzle with your choice of dressing and toss gently to combine.
