How to Make Beef And Blue Cheese Salad
- In a small bowl, soak 1/2 cup raisins in 1/4 cup Irish whiskey for at least 1 hour (longer is better!).
- Drain the raisins, reserving the whiskey (optional, for a finishing drizzle).
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup mayonnaise, 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley, 1/4 cup buttermilk, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, and 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar.
- Add 4 ounces crumbled Irish blue cheese and stir gently to combine.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Refrigerate the dressing for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld.
- While the dressing chills, grill or pan-fry 1 lb beef steak (e.g., sirloin, ribeye) to your desired doneness. Let rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
- Divide 6 cups of mixed lettuce (e.g., romaine, butter lettuce) among 6 serving plates.
- Spoon the chilled blue cheese dressing over the lettuce.
- Slice the rested beef thinly and arrange on top of the salad.
- Sprinkle the whiskey-soaked raisins over the beef and lettuce.
- (Optional) Drizzle any reserved whiskey over the salad for an extra touch of flavor.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
