This post is in collaboration for the Meijer LPGA Grand Taste. All recipes and opinions are my own.

Even though school is out, our schedule is still super crazy. Most nights we have softball until at least 8:00, so dinner needs to be ready before or after. I’ve become obsessed with marinades and simple grilling recipes like this salad.

Many times when I make salad, it’s never filling enough for a whole meal. By adding tons of grilled veggies, it really bulks up the fiber making it super filling. When I went to Meijer, I asked for help at the meat counter as to which type of steak would be best for a salad and she showed me a great new type that I’d never seen: Breakfast Strip Sirloin.

Be sure to take advantage of the meat counter at Meijer! We love their sausage links, ground turkey and just the help they can offer in general about cuts of meat. The breakfast style steak is thinner, which makes it great to marinade and grill quickly. You want to cook these long enough to get a char on each side, that’s it–these cooked up in about 5 minutes total.

Feel free to use whatever dressing you like–a creamy ranch or balsamic would be amazing too! I always think Blue cheese when I think of steak salad, so I tried an easy Blue Cheese Vinegarette. SO delish!

Quick tip: When grilling veggies, try using an old cookie sheet with foil on top. You’ll still get great char marks, but nothing will fall through the grill!

Grilled Steak + Veggie Salad w/ Blue Cheese Vinaigrette

Looking for a new, easy summer salad? The steak is marinaded with whiskey and dijon, then grilled with corn, onion, asparagus and poblano peppers. Perfect balance of flavors for this easy salad!

Course: Salad
Keyword: Salad, Steak, Steak Salad
Servings: 4 people
Ingredients
Whiskey & Dijon Marinade
  • 1.25 pounds Breakfast Sirloin Strip Steak or favorite grilling steak!
  • 3 cloves Garlic, minced
  • 1 Tablespoon True Goodness Organic Dijon Mustard
  • 1/4 cup Whiskey
  • 1/4 cup True Goodness Organic Apple Cider Vinegar
  • 1/4 cup True Goodness Organic EVOO
  • salt & pepper, to taste
Salad
  • 1 package Earthbound Farm salad mix
  • 3 large ears of corn on the cob husked
  • 1 large Vidalia onion in 1/4" slices
  • 2 whole poblano peppers, seeded cut in half
  • 5 spears Asparagus look for Michigan grown!
  • 1 whole Greenhouse tomato seeded, chopped
Blue Cheese Vinaigrette
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon each pepper, dried mustard, paprika
  • 1/4 cup True Goodness Organic Apple Cider Vinegar
  • 1/2 cup True Goodness Organic EVOO
  • 2 Tablespoons Meijer Blue Cheese crumbles
Instructions
  1. In a chopper, add all Blue Cheese dressing ingredients. Chop slowly, until garlic is minced. Pour into a mason jar and set aside. (No need to refrigerate, unless making salad more than 2 hours after)

  2. Using a 9x9 pan, add all marinade ingredients, except steak. Season steak with salt & pepper. Completely cover in marinade--up to 24 hours, at least 30 minutes.

  3. Heat the grill. Line a cookie sheet with foil, then coat with cooking spray. Add onion slices, poblano, corn and asparagus. Drizzle EVOO on veggies, toss and season with salt & pepper.

  4. Add veggie sheet pan to the grill. Cover and cook for about 8 minutes. Flip and cover again. Remove steak from marinade. Place on grill, cooking about 3 minutes on each size.

  5. Once steak is cooked, allow to rest 10 minutes before slicing. Veggies will be ready once charred on all sides. Allow to cool and chop into bite sized pieces, removing corn from cob.

  6. To serve, toss salad mix in Blue Cheese vinaigrette. Top with sliced steak and veggies, including tomato. Top with additional blue cheese, if desired.

Recipe Notes
  • All alcohol will burn off from marinade, no need to worry about serving to kids.
  • Feel free to use your favorite dressing instead of Blue Cheese. I recommend ranch or balsamic, as well!

    YUM! Great idea asking for help at the meat counter! Never heard of breakfast strips but it looks like the perfect cut for the salad. I love that everything can be made on the grill. Can you suggest an alternative to the bleu cheese? Could I make the vinaigrette with goat cheese (or another milder cheese?) Can’t wait to give this a try!

    A few months ago we bought a grill and we were finally able to grill after many many years of not having one! The first dinner we had was bbq chicken ? I think that may be my favorite summer grill recipe! It so simple but nothing beats the taste of grilled chicken with tangy bbq sauce warmed on top ?
