Deconstructed Steak Dinner Recipes

DECONSTRUCTED STEAK DINNER

Steps:

• Place cleaned baby greens onto center of the plate, scatter sliced tomatoes, quartered potatoes, and sliced steak strips. Crumble blue cheese over the top of the salad and place the sliced red onions across the top and drizzle with the Balsamic dressing.
• If you want to make this salad as a side salad then cut the ingredients in half, and if you want to make your own dressing then combine 1 cup Lite Olive Oil vinaigrette dressing with 2 tbsp honey and ¼ cup balsamic vinegar. Mix well and drizzle over salad.
• The Smokey Blue Cheese can be purchased from Emmi-Roth Kase @ http://www.rothkase.com. They also have a wonderfully creamy Bleu Cheese, called Buttermilk Bleu Affinée that can be substituted for the Smokey Blue. With over 600 delicious varieties from over 1200 cheese-makers across the state the selections seem endless.
