Steak Salad

Steak Salad is a man’s kind of salad. With ribeye steak and onion straws, this salad isn’t just any salad. 

 

Last year I felt like I was in a rut with my meal plans.  We just kept having the same thing over and over again.  I needed some inspiration to switch things up.  I looked to The Pioneer Woman’s site for some new recipes.  

I planned a whole month of her recipes.  We found a couple in there that we really liked.  One was her corn & cheese chowder.  The other was her Big Steak Salad. Of course I had to change it up a little bit.  Her marinade and dressing are a bit spicier than mine.  

I have made this recipe over and over again and I felt like it was time to share it with you rather than keep directing you to her blog. This salad has the onion straws on top that I shared with you already.  The Hardworking Husband LOVES these.  If there are any leftover from the salad, he gobbles them up.
