Black and Blue Steak Salad

This post is  a collaboration with Beef. It’s What’s For Dinner. on behalf of the Beef Checkoff. I received compensation, but all opinions are my own.

Black and Blue Steak Salad

Now that we’re getting back into the school year, I wanted to share one of my very favorite dishes for a quick and easy weeknight meal, this Black and Blue Steak Salad! My husband and I really love salads, but we want them to have some substance to them, especially for dinner. You know what I mean? You don’t want to end up hungry an hour later. This steak salad is so satisfying, and you can tailor it to your favorite flavors – yum!

What is a Black and Blue Salad?

Great question! It’s a salad primarily consisting of steak strips along with blue cheese among other toppings. That’s why it’s called a “black ‘n blue” salad. Clever, huh?

Tips for Making Black and Blue Steak Salads

  • The beef reigns supreme on a steak salad so opt for a high-quality cut of meat like a Top Sirloin. Beef is truly the star for this salad, which I love, because it’s a nutrient-rich and high-quality protein raised with care and dedication by farmers and ranchers.
  • Beef’s tender, juicy texture is optimum when cooked to medium rare (145°F) to medium (160°F) doneness. Use an instant-read thermometer horizontally into the side of steaks to determine doneness.
  • In addition to blue cheese, add a variety of other toppings from thinly sliced red onion, burst tomatoes, and avocado slices. Tailor your toppings to your favorite flavors.
  • Serve with a blue cheese dressing for an extra boost of blue cheese flavor or opt for a mild ranch or balsamic dressing.

Steak Salad

This salad is not only perfect for a quick weeknight meal, it’s also fabulous for a dinner party entree! I love to set up a “Make Your Own Salad Bar” for guests. Salads are pretty similar to tacos since everyone has their favorite toppings. Use white bowls and platters to display all the veggies, cheeses, and dressings. Serve up the steak to your guests and let them build the rest. Happy Guests. Happy Hostess!

    This sounds like my kind of salad! I love using Top Sirloin as well, and the addition of blue cheese crumbles here is perfect. Putting this one on the menu soon!
