Flank Steak Salad with fresh vegetables and gorgonzola blue cheese is the bomb.
A perfect lunch or light supper: Flank Steak Salad
Flank Steak Salad makes an elegant meal.
Flank Steak Salad takes about 10 minutes to whip together if you have leftover flank steak or 25 minutes if you have to cook the steak. And doesn’t it look amazing? I used fresh mixed lettuces, grape tomatoes, cucumbers, a bit of onion, and a couple slices of orange bell pepper as my base salad.
Then I added a few slices of warmed up flank steak, and topped it all with some awesome gorgonzola blue cheese made by monks in Canada. I have never been a big blue cheese fan, but this cheese changed my mind. OMG. It is so freaking good. Your salad will still be good without it. Add a little feta or parmesan instead. But really, get yourself some gorgonzola.
Why Flank Steak?
Flank steak is a nice, lean steak that cooks quickly on the grill. You slice it real thin on an angle. I like mine cooked medium rare. It’s excellent and tender. When you warm it up for the salad, it will no longer be medium rare, of course. Or, you can eat it cold on the salad. Your choice. If you don’t have any leftover steak and need to cook it, we tell you how to do it here.
What You Need
You need a good carving knife, a chef’s knife, cutting board and some beautiful dinnerware for this recipe. If you are making your own salad dressing, you will also need measuring cups and spoons. Do yourself a favor and get the best kitchen tools you can afford. You’ll never be sorry.
