Ingredients

1/2 head romaine lettuce, cut into bite-size pieces
1 large head Belgian endive, thinly sliced crosswise (about 1 1/2 cups)
1/2 red onion, thinly sliced into rings
3 cups fresh baby arugula
12 cherry tomatoes, halved
4 ounces Gorgonzola, coarsely crumbled
Red Wine Vinaigrette, recipe follows
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 pound steak (such as New York, rib-eye or filet mignon), pan-fried or grilled and chilled

Directions

In a large bowl, combine the romaine lettuce, Belgian endive, red onion, baby arugula and cherry tomatoes, and half of the cheese. Toss the salad with enough vinaigrette to coat. Season the salad with salt and pepper, to taste. Arrange the salad on a platter.

1/2 cup red wine vinegar

3 tablespoons lemon juice

2 teaspoons honey

2 teaspoons salt

Freshly ground black pepper

1 cup olive oil

Easy and Great.
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

My boyfriend is always asking me to make this steak salad. I normally use baby spinach instead of romaine. The gorgonzola,... tomatoes, steak & dressing are an amazing combo. Read more

Yumm!!!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

My salads are always everything but the kitchen sink. I just used mixed greens, boiled some eggs, marinated the beef strips... in a little of this and that, and the end result was WOW! I added some crumbled bleu cheese, raisins, and lots of fresh veggies. The vinegrette I tinkered with to my liking, I heated mine on LOW heat over the stove to break down the honey. I added a little more RWVinegar and honey than called for, but thats just my personal taste...some good herbs that would go well might be basil, oregano.....it was yum yum!!!!!! Read more

great combination of flavors
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

We really like this salad--in fact I'm making it tonight! I do agree with one reviewer about the olive oil. I use about 1/2... cup instead of a full cup of oil. That really allows all the flavors to come through.Read more

Salad good, dressing the most disgusting thing ever! Ugh!
Rated: 2 stars out of 5

The salad recipe is wonderful! The dressing, however, needs some adjusting. The measurements can't possibly be right. I... followed it to a T, and it tasted like pure olive oil. Something is not right with it. Read more

Great dressing!!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I made my own steak salad, but I did use this dressing and it turned out great! The sweetness the honey adds goes perfect... with the steak. It is so easy to make! I will definately be using this over and over again. (My salad had some chopped cilantro in it as well that blends nicely with the dressing!)Read more

Great dressing!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I made this for a potluck and people really liked it. The best part is the salad vinegrette. I have varied the salad by... substituting dried cranberries and pecans for the tomatoes and onions. I used a "flat iron steak". Seared it in a heavy pan on top of the stove and then baked it for ten minutes at 375. I let it cool covered at room temp then refrigerated overnight. The next day it sliced perfectly.Read more
