Ingredients
- 8 ounces boneless sirloin (1 1/2-inches thick) or other well-priced steak
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- 6 medium red potatoes, quartered
- 1/4 cup grape tomatoes, halved
- 1 head red leaf lettuce, washed, dried and leaves torn into bite-size pieces
- 1/4 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
- Sour Cream-Bacon Dressing, recipe follows
Directions
Drizzle the steak with vegetable oil and very liberally, season the steak with salt and pepper, to taste. Let the steak sit out at room temperature for 30 to 60 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F and heat the grill to hot.
In a small bowl, mix together the garlic, olive oil, and a generous pinch of salt and pepper. Lay the potatoes on a baking sheet and toss with the garlic-infused oil. Roast the potatoes for 18 minutes, or until deep golden, turning halfway through. Set the potatoes aside.
Place the seasoned steak on the hot grill and grill the steak until an instant-read thermometer reads 125 degrees F for medium-rare, about 3 minutes per side. Remove the steak from the grill and let rest under tented foil.
To assemble the salad: Divide the lettuce among 4 plates. Sprinkle on the halved tomatoes. Divide the warm potatoes among the plates. Drizzle with the Sour Cream-Bacon Dressing. Slice the steak thinly on the bias and fan on top. Top the salad with the shredded Cheddar cheese.
Sour Cream-Bacon Dressing:
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- 2 tablespoons sour cream
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 strips bacon, cooked until crisp and then chopped
- 2 green onions, chopped
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
In a small bowl, whisk together the mustard, vinegar, sour cream, and garlic powder. Drizzle in the oil to emulsify. Whisk in the chopped bacon, green onions, and season with salt, and pepper, to taste, if necessary.

I thought this meal was very good. It was very simple to make and even DH who doesn't like salads thought it was very filling. We did change proportions towards our diet and instead of vegetable oil, we used olive oil only. We also used turkey bacon instead of real bacon. We will probably make again. It was a great way to stretch out a steak : Gonna pass along to my dad who is a big fan of salads with steaks.

This was delicious! The timings listed were perfect. The dressing has a delicious bite, the steak was perfectly done, and this is "meat and potatoes", with vegetables that my husband will eat. Agreed with an earlier reviewer - this goes on the Make Again list. Thanks Melissa for another winner!
