Method

Preparing the Salad

  1. 1

    Wash and Chop Vegetables

    Wash the romaine lettuce thoroughly and chop it into bite-sized pieces. Place it in a large salad bowl.

  2. 2

    Add Tomatoes and Cucumber

    Halve the cherry tomatoes and add them to the salad bowl. Slice the cucumber into thin rounds and add to the bowl as well.

  3. 3

    Slice the Onion and Avocado

    Thinly slice the red onion and add it to the salad bowl. Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, scoop out the flesh, and slice it before adding it to the bowl.

Cooking the Steak

  1. 4

    Prepare the Steak

    Season the ribeye steak with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder on both sides. Drizzle with olive oil, ensuring it's evenly coated.

  2. 5

    Grill the Steak

    Preheat your grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, place the steak on the grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until your desired doneness is reached.

  3. 6

    Rest the Steak

    Remove the steak from the heat and let it rest for 5 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute.

  4. 7

    Slice the Steak

    After resting, slice the steak against the grain into thin strips.

Making the Dressing

  1. 8

    Combine Dressing Ingredients

    In a small bowl, whisk together balsamic vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey, salt, and black pepper until smooth.

  2. 9

    Add Olive Oil

    Slowly drizzle in the olive oil while whisking continuously to emulsify the dressing.

Assembling the Salad

  1. 10

    Combine Salad and Steak

    Add the sliced steak on top of the prepared salad in the bowl.

  2. 11

    Drizzle with Dressing

    Pour the dressing over the salad and steak mixture.

  3. 12

    Toss and Serve

    Gently toss the salad to combine everything. Serve immediately.
