Method

Preparing the Salad Base

  1. 1

    Wash and Chop Lettuce

    Rinse the romaine lettuce under cold water. Pat dry with a paper towel and chop into bite-sized pieces.

  2. 2

    Prepare Tomato

    Dice the medium tomato into small cubes.

  3. 3

    Slice Onion

    Peel and thinly slice the red onion.

  4. 4

    Prepare Avocado

    Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh out with a spoon. Slice the avocado into thin pieces.

Cooking Proteins

  1. 5

    Grill the Steak

    Season the grilled steak with salt and pepper. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat and grill the steak for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until it reaches your desired level of doneness. Let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing into thin strips.

  2. 6

    Cook Bacon

    In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon slices until crispy, about 4-5 minutes per side. Once cooked, place them on a paper towel to drain excess grease and then crumble into bite-sized pieces.

  3. 7

    Prepare Hard-Boiled Eggs

    Place eggs in a saucepan and cover them with cold water. Bring to a boil, then cover and remove from heat. Let sit for 9-12 minutes. Drain and place in cold water to cool, then peel and slice.

Assembling the Salad

  1. 8

    Combine Ingredients

    In a large bowl, add the chopped romaine lettuce, diced tomato, sliced red onion, and sliced avocado. Mix gently.

  2. 9

    Add Proteins

    Top the salad with sliced grilled steak, crumbled bacon, shredded cheddar cheese, and sliced hard-boiled eggs.

  3. 10

    Dress the Salad

    Drizzle the Texas Gold dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine all the ingredients.
