Steak Salad Instructions:

  1. Pat steaks dry with a paper towel. Salt and pepper the steak.
  2. Heat 2 TB of olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat
  3. Once you see steam rising off the skillet, you are ready to grease it with a little fat and begin searing.
  4. Sear the steaks over direct heat for 2 minutes per side, then move them off the heat, cover, and cook and extra 4 minutes (or until desired doneness).
  5. Once cooked, leave the steak to rest for 5 minutes.
  6. Make the dressing. Whisk vinegar, shallot, mustard and remaining oil in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper.
  7. Return skillet to medium-high heat. Add mushrooms and 3 TB dressing and cook until mushrooms are golden brown, 6-8 minutes. Set aside and allow mushrooms to cool for 5 minutes.
  8. Toss mixed greens, capers, mushrooms, tomatoes and remaining dressing in a bowl.
  9. Slice the steak thinly against the grain.
  10. Plate steak salad by adding steak to the bowl with greens and sprinkle with blue cheese.
