Method

Steak Preparation

  1. 1

    Marinate the Steak

    In a bowl, combine the olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Add the tenderloin steak tips and toss to coat. Let marinate for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Grill the Steak

    Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Grill the marinated steak tips for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until they reach desired doneness. Remove from grill and let rest for a few minutes before slicing.

Salad Assembly

  1. 3

    Prepare the Salad Base

    In a large salad bowl, add the Little Leaf greens as the base for the salad.

  2. 4

    Add Vegetables

    Cut the cucumber into thin slices and halved cherry tomatoes. Scatter them evenly over the greens.

  3. 5

    Add Cheese and Onions

    Crumble the blue cheese over the salad and add the crispy fried tumbleweed onions on top.

  4. 6

    Dress the Salad

    Drizzle the balsamic glaze over the entire salad before serving.

  5. 7

    Top with Steak

    Slice the grilled steak tips and arrange them on top of the salad. Serve immediately.
