Steak and Bacon Salad

Ingredients

FOR THE STEAK:

3 tbsp. olive oil

1 tbsp. adobo sauce (from a can of chipotle peppers)

1 tbsp. Worcestershire sauce

1 tbsp. honey

1 tsp. dried oregano

2 strip steaks (1 1/2 inches thick), extra fat trimmed

Kosher salt and black pepper, to taste

FOR THE DRESSING:

1/2 c. mayonnaise

1/4 c. sour cream

2 tbsp. buttermilk

1 tbsp. minced chipotle peppers in adobo sauce

1 tsp. honey

1 tsp. Worcestershire sauce

Black pepper, to taste

FOR THE SALAD:

1 10-ounce package mixed lettuce

1 pt. grape tomatoes, halved if large

3/4 c. crumbled blue cheese

1/2 c. pecans, toasted and chopped

8 slices thick-cut bacon, cooked

Fried onions, for topping

Directions

1For the steak: Combine the olive oil, adobo sauce, Worcestershire sauce, honey and oregano in a jar and shake vigorously. Pour into a resealable plastic bag and add the steaks. Seal and rub the marinade into the meat. Let marinate in the refrigerator for 2 to 4 hours.

2For the dressing: Combine the mayonnaise, sour cream, buttermilk, chipotles, honey, Worcestershire sauce and pepper to taste in a bowl and mix well. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

3Remove the steaks from the marinade, pat dry and season with salt and pepper. Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium high. Grill the steaks until medium rare, about 5 minutes per side. Remove to a cutting board and let rest 10 minutes, then thinly slice against the grain.

4For the salad: In a large bowl, combine the lettuce, tomatoes and blue cheese. Add a little dressing and toss, adding more if needed. Add the pecans and toss.

5Pile the salad on to plates and top with the steak. Top with 2 slices of bacon and fried onions.

To make your own fried onions: Soak 1 thinly sliced onion in buttermilk for 1 hour, then drain. Working in batches, remove the onion slices, toss in flour seasoned with salt and cayenne and fry in 375 ̊ canola oil until golden brown, about 2 minutes. Season with salt.
