How to Make Beef And Blue Cheese Salad

  1. In a small bowl, soak 1/2 cup raisins in 1/4 cup Irish whiskey for at least 1 hour (longer is better!).
  2. Drain the raisins, reserving the whiskey (optional, for a finishing drizzle).
  3. 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.
  4. Add 4 ounces crumbled Irish blue cheese and stir gently to combine.
  5. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  6. Refrigerate the dressing for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld.
  7. 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.
  8. Divide 6 cups of mixed lettuce (e.g., romaine, butter lettuce) among 6 serving plates.
  9. Spoon the chilled blue cheese dressing over the lettuce.
  10. Slice the rested beef thinly and arrange on top of the salad.
  11. Sprinkle the whiskey-soaked raisins over the beef and lettuce.
  12. (Optional) Drizzle any reserved whiskey over the salad for an extra touch of flavor.
