Ingredients

  • 4 (8 ounce) steaks, filet mignon is my favorite
  • 1 (5 ounce) bag spring greens (baby spring mix if available)
  • 1 (5 ounce) bag Baby Spinach (or one to two 5.5oz bags Fresh Express brand 50/50 Mix is what we like, depending on amount needed)
  • 1 quart grape tomatoes
  • 1 quart broccosprouts, to taste
  • 1 green bell pepper, diced
  • 1/2 onion (walla walla or vidalia)
  • 1/2 cup broccoli floret
  • 1/2 cup cauliflower floret
  • 1 cucumber, sliced and peeled
  • 1/2 cup zucchini, chopped (cut into desired size)
  • 1/2 cup yellow squash, chopped (cut into desired size)
  • 1 cup blue cheese, crumbled
  • SUGGESTED STEAK SEASONINGS
  • McCormick's Montreal Brand steak seasoning, to taste (optional)
  • olive oil, to taste (optional)
  • garlic powder, to taste (optional)
  • rudy's barbecue sauce, to taste (optional)

Method

  • Coat the steaks in a blend of oil and seasonings such as Montreal steak seasoning and garlic powder.
  • Grill to desired doneness.
  • Apply a brushing of bbq sauce, if desired before allowing meat to "rest" for 5 minutes prior to slicing. ( Rudy's BBQ sauce is a nice one if you aren't sprucing one up or making your own).
  • Depending on the number of servings desired, mix all prepared veggies in a LARGE bowl.
  • Mix in sliced steak and blue cheese crumbles.
  • At this point you can either dress the entire salad with a nice vinaigrette and toss lightly before serving, or allow each guest to select their own dressing. (a vinaigrette compliments the flavors best).
  • Serve with a nice baguette, crescent roll, and your favorite red wine.
  • ENJOY (hopefully outside somewhere nice!) :).
