Steak Cobb Salad with Creamy Avocado Dressing
(adapted from: https://bit.ly/4aSIibm)
Ingredients
Salad:
1.25 lbs flank steak or strip steak
Sea salt and cracked black pepper
1 tablespoon avocado or olive oil
8 slices nitrate free bacon sugar free
4 large eggs hardboiled and peeled
8 cups romaine lettuce roughly chopped, or preferred greens
1 cup cherry tomatoes sliced in half
1 small red onion thinly sliced
1 large avocado thinly sliced
Dressing:
1 medium ripe avocado
1/3 cup paleo mayo
1/4 cup + 2 tablespoons plain almond milk or water
1/3 cup cilantro leaves
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon sea salt or more, to taste
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
Instructions
Have your bacon cooked and crumbled and eggs hardboiled and cooled first. See the notes sections for my methods.
Season the steak liberally on both sides with sea salt and cracked black pepper. Heat a large cast iron skillet or grill to medium high/high heat. Drizzle the oil in the skillet or brush the grill with oil.
Once smoking hot, add the steak and cook about 3 minutes on each side for medium rare, or about 4 minutes for medium. The cook time with depend on the thickness of your steak. You can use a meat thermometer for a better read on doneness: 130°F-135 is medium rare, 135°F-145 is medium.
Remove the steak from the skillet or grill to a cutting board and cover with aluminum foil. Allow it to sit for about 10 minutes while you arrange the salad.
In a large bowl, layer the greens with the sliced cherry tomatoes, sliced onions, sliced hardboiled eggs and crumbled bacon. Peel and slice the avocado and arrange around the salad. Add the blue cheese crumbles if desired (not Whole30)
With a sharp knife, slice the steak and arrange on top of the salad. Add the dressing ingredients to a blender and blend until smooth and creamy.
Serve the dressing on the side or spooned over the salad and serve right away. Enjoy!
