Grilled Steak and Blue Cheese Salad is a combination of a perfectly seasoned grilled steak, sauted onions, tomatoes, tangy homemade apple cider dressing, and blue cheese crumbles. All on a refreshing bed of romaine lettuce. This game changing salad can be on the table in less than 20 minutes.

Mmm… steak!  Whenever my husband and I go out to our favorite steakhouse, I love to enjoy a  fresh garden salad before I dive into my juicy medium rare steak!

So I thought, why not combine one of my favorite meals into one dish? Now I can have the best of both worlds, a juicy steak and a refreshing salad.

This Grilled Steak and Blue Cheese Salad is light and refreshing, yet manly enough that you can serve it for dinner without any complaints from the hubs!

Until Next time,
