  • Cook Time:  20 min

Ingredients

  • 2 lb skirt steak (or flat iron)
  • 2 romaine hearts, cut in half lengthwise
  • 1 red onion, cut into 1-inch rings, keeping rings intact
  • 2 avocados, cut in half, pit removed
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • sea salt
  • pepper
  • blue cheese, for garnishing

Blue Cheese Dressing

  • 3/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 1 tsp Worcestershire
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp white vinegar
  • 2 tbsp chives
  • 1 tbsp heavy cream
  • 4 oz blue cheese, crumbled

Method

  1. In a small bowl, mix together all dressing ingredients. Stir until completely combined and set aside in refrigerator.
  2. Remove the meat from the refrigerator 1 hour before grilling. This will allow meat to be brought to room temp.
  3. Heat your grill on high for 10 minutes. While the grill is heating, pat dry your your meat dry with a paper towel and generously salt and pepper.
  4. Place your meat on the hot grill and allow to cook without moving for 4 minutes. Turn and cook for 3-4 more minutes and remove. Allow to rest under tented foil for 10 minutes.
  5. While your meat is resting, brush your lettuce, avocado and onions with olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Reduce the heat to medium-low and place all the vegetables on the grill, oiled side down. Brush the opposite side with oil. Once charring begins the vegetables are ready to turn. (About 2-4 minutes). Turn the lettuce and onions over and remove the avocado. Continue cooking until opposite side has some charring.
  6. While still warm, roughly chop the lettuce and slice the avocado. Then, separate onion rings.
  7. On a large platter arrange the lettuce, onions, avocado, halved tomatoes and sliced steak.
  8. Drizzle dressing over the top and sprinkle with extra blue cheese and chives.
