16 Steak Salads That Are Filling and Flavorful

Steak can turn even a simple salad into a hearty meal that’s great for midday or evening.

Flat Iron Steakhouse Salad

Nothing goes better with a juicy steak than a crispy steakhouse-style wedge salad. So why not combine the two to create the ultimate weeknight meal? For this version of the perfect pairing, we opt for a flat iron cut: it’s thick enough to sear on a cast-iron skillet without fear of overcooking and has a robust meaty flavor. Our salad boasts all the classic fixings — crunchy iceberg, succulent cherry tomatoes, smoky thick-cut bacon — plus craggy croutons toasted in bacon drippings. A creamy homemade blue cheese dressing is the perfect topper — so good, in fact, that we doubled the recipe so you can serve extra on the side.

Steak Frites Salad

Ree's steak frites salad is served with an easy hollandaise sauce, made in a blender rather than on the stovetop. It has all the ingredients of a classic hollandaise (bar the hot sauce!), is 100% foolproof and tastes just as good.
