Salad Ingredients
- 6 cups chopped romaine or mixed greens
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 2 hard-boiled eggs, sliced
- 1 avocado, diced
- 1/2 cup cooked bacon, crumbled
- 1/2 cup blue cheese crumbles
- 1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced
Steak
- 1 pound grilled steak (such as ribeye or sirloin), cooked to desired doneness and sliced
Dressing
- 1/2 cup ranch or blue cheese dressing
- Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Cook the Steak: Grill or pan-sear the steak to your preferred doneness, about 4 to 5 minutes per side for medium. Season with salt and black pepper during cooking. Once cooked, let the steak rest for 5 to 10 minutes to retain juices before slicing thinly against the grain.
- Prepare the Salad Base: Arrange the chopped romaine or mixed greens evenly on a large platter or in a salad bowl to form the base of your salad.
- Arrange Toppings: Neatly place the halved cherry tomatoes, sliced hard-boiled eggs, diced avocado, crumbled bacon, blue cheese crumbles, and thinly sliced red onion in rows or sections on top of the greens for a classic Cobb salad presentation.
- Add the Steak: Place the sliced grilled steak on top or in the center of the arranged salad ingredients to showcase the protein component.
- Dress the Salad: Just before serving, drizzle the ranch or blue cheese dressing over the salad or serve the dressing on the side according to preference.
Notes
- Substitute chicken breast or firm tofu for the steak for variations.
- Use feta cheese instead of blue cheese if preferred for a milder cheese flavor.
- This salad is substantial enough to serve as a full meal.
- Ensure steak is rested after cooking for the best texture and juiciness.
