How to Make Balsamic Steak And Blue Cheese Salad

  1. In a large resealable plastic bag, combine steak and 1/4 cup balsamic vinaigrette.
  2. Seal the bag tightly and turn several times to coat the steak evenly.
  3. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes (longer is better!).
  4. Preheat grill to medium-high heat.
  5. While the steak marinates, prepare the vegetables: wash and trim 1 bunch asparagus and 1 red bell pepper, removing stem and seeds from pepper. Slice pepper into large chunks.
  6. Remove steak from marinade; discard marinade.
  7. Grill the steak for 5-7 minutes per side for medium-rare, or to your desired doneness.
  8. Grill the asparagus and bell pepper alongside the steak for 5-7 minutes, or until crisp-tender, turning occasionally and brushing lightly with 1 tablespoon olive oil.
  9. Remove vegetables from grill and cut the pepper in half crosswise.
  10. Remove steak from grill and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing thinly against the grain.
  11. In a large bowl, toss 5 oz mixed greens with the remaining 1/4 cup balsamic vinaigrette.
  12. Add the grilled asparagus and bell pepper to the greens.
  13. Arrange the salad on a serving platter.
  14. Top with the sliced steak.
  15. Crumble 2 ounces of blue cheese over the salad and serve immediately.
