A steakhouse salad is a classic salad that is a favorite for a reason. I combined my favorite steakhouse salad ingredients and turned them into a main dish salad by adding delicious grilled steak right into the mix. I partnered with my friends at Tony Chachere’s to marinate the steak perfectly with their Steakhouse Marinade that gives the steak so much flavor! This steak is easy enough for any weeknight dinner, but would be fabulous for entertaining all summer long. You are going to love making the ultimate steakhouse salad with a creole blue cheese dressing the next time you are craving your favorite steakhouse.
This salad has everything you love about a classic steakhouse salad including a delicious homemade creamy Creole blue cheese dressing, perfectly juicy grilled steak, veggies, bacon, and crispy shallots that truly take this salad to the next level. This steakhouse salad is not your average salad and will have even the non-salad loving people in your life excited to eat their greens.
The Steakhouse Marinade from Tony Chachere’s truly gives the steak so much flavor and also keeps the steak super juicy while it grills. It’s a favorite to keep in the pantry for a reason and makes this steak extra delicious on this salad.
Variations to try:
Substitute a different cut of steak if you prefer. You can use NY Strips, flank steak, filet, or a skirt steak if you prefer.
If you don’t love blue cheese, you can omit it from the salad toppings and the dressing and the dressing will still be delicious.
Instead of grilling the steak, you can also sear it in a cast iron skillet.
