Description

Maple and blue cheese meet in a perfect pair, on a bed of greens with a slightly sweet, maple-glazed steak. This happens to be my favorite salad as a meal.

Ingredients

  • FOR THE STEAK:
  • ¾ pounds Ribeye Steak
  • ¼ cups Apple Cider Vinegar
  • ¼ cups Pure Maple Syrup
  • 1 pinch Salt And Pepper
  • _____
  • FOR THE VINAIGRETTE:
  • 3 Tablespoons Apple Cider Vinegar
  • ¼ cups Pure Maple Syrup
  • 1 clove Garlic, Minced
  • 2 Tablespoons Fresh Parsley, Minced
  • ½ teaspoons Kosher Salt
  • ¼ teaspoons Cracked Black Pepper
  • ½ cups Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • _____
  • FOR THE ROASTED WALNUTS:
  • ¼ cups Walnut Halves
  • 3 Tablespoons Pure Maple Syrup
  • _____
  • FOR THE SALAD:
  • 4 cups Spring Mix Salad Greens
  • 5 whole Scallions
  • 10 whole Cherry Tomatoes
  • ⅓ cups Blue Cheese Crumbles

Preparation

Start by marinating the steak. Mix together the apple cider vinegar and maple syrup and pour over the steak to cover. Allow to marinate for at least 30 minutes.

Mix together all vinaigrette ingredients, slowly add the olive oil last while continuously whisking. Set aside.

Toss the walnuts in 3 tablespoons of maple syrup until completely coated. Spread onto a parchment-lined cookie sheet and bake at 350° F for 5-7 minutes until maple is hardened. Remove from the oven. Allow to cool before breaking apart.

Heat grill to 500°. Clean thoroughly with a wire brush. Turn grill down to medium-low. Remove steaks from the marinade. Place steaks on the grill and season with salt and pepper, flip and rotate 3 times at 2- to 4-minute intervals depending on desired doneness.

Allow steak to sit under tented foil for 5 minutes. Cut into thin strips. Between two plates, layer spring mix, chopped scallions, halved cherry tomatoes, blue cheese crumbles and the roasted walnuts. Top with the steak strips. Add dressing. Serve and eat immediately. Try not to groan too much.

Makes 2 servings with extra dressing. Store dressing in the fridge and allow to sit on the counter before the next use.

Had this tonight. It was really very good. I’ve never made candied walnuts by this method before. They were really good, and I’ll definitely make them again like this.

My husband and I loved everything about this salad, I was afraid the marinade was going to be too sweet but it wasn’t at all! The blue cheese complimented very well and I topped our salads with lots of fresh ground pepper. Yum! Thank you for sharing!
