Steak Kabob Blue Cheese Salad

This delicious gourmet steakhouse salad is easy to create at home without paying the steakhouse price you find in restaurants around town. Pre-made kabobs come at a cost so to save a little money you can make them yourself. The crisp refreshing romaine lettuce and tomatoes mixed with the char grilled steak and veggies and the creamy avocado makes for a mouthwatering dinner salad. That decadence you get from the blue cheese dressing makes this salad feel truly gourmet. This recipe is the perfect last hurrah before we say goodbye to summer!

Servings: 4 | Prep Time: 20 minutes | Cook Time: 15 minutes | Ready in: 15

Ingredients

• 1-2 lbs grass-fed sirloin steak
• 1-2 heads romaine lettuce
• 1 container of organic cherry tomatoes
• 1 organic avocado
• 1 organic bell pepper (red, orange or yellow are preferred)
• 1 organic red onion
• 1/4 cup worcestershire sauce
• 2-3 tbsp organic blue cheese dressing
• salt and pepper to taste
• bamboo skewers

Instructions

Cut steaks into 2 inch cubes and place in shallow dish with the Worcestershire sauce. Toss steak cubes to coat them evenly and season them with salt and pepper to taste. Set steak aside to marinate. Soak bamboo skewers in cold water for at least 20 minutes to prevent them from getting scorched. Cut romaine into bite sized pieces and wash it thoroughly, using a salad spinner to dry. Cut up bell pepper and red onion into 1 inch pieces. Keep at least 2 layers of the onion together to prevent it from burning on the grill. Assemble the kabobs on the skewer using the steak, onions and bell peppers.Grill over medium high heat for 3-4 minutes on all four sides until desired level is reached. (for a medium light pink center.) Cut avocado in half lengthwise and remove the skin by placing thumb between the fruit and skin and peeling it back. Remove the pit by forcefully but carefully tapping your knife into the pit then simply twist it loose, cut avocado slices lengthwise. Toss the romaine with the blue cheese dressing, top with the grilled steak and veggies. Add in as many cherry tomatoes and avocado slices as you like. Enjoy!
