Ingredients

• 1 pound Ribeye steak
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 head Romaine lettuce
• 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
• 1 Cucumber
• 0.5 Red onion
• 0.5 cup Crumbled blue cheese
• 0.5 cup Buttermilk
• 0.25 cup Mayonnaise
• 2 tablespoons Sour cream
• 1 Garlic clove, minced
• 2 tablespoons Fresh dill, chopped
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 tablespoon Fresh chives, chopped
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice

Directions

Step 1

Season the steak on both sides with salt and black pepper.

Step 2

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil. Once hot, sear the steak for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or longer if desired. Remove from skillet and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing thinly against the grain.

Step 3

While the steak rests, wash and chop the romaine lettuce into bite-sized pieces, halve the cherry tomatoes, slice the cucumber into thin rounds, and thinly slice the red onion. Arrange these ingredients on a large serving platter.

Step 4

In a medium bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, mayonnaise, sour cream, minced garlic, chopped dill, parsley, chives, and lemon juice. Season with a small pinch of salt and pepper to taste.

Step 5

Drizzle about half of the buttermilk dressing over the salad greens. Top the salad with the sliced steak and crumbled blue cheese.

Step 6

Serve immediately with the remaining dressing on the side.
