Ingredients

  • 8 oz. steak such as striploin or rib eye
  • 1 tbsp. Montréal Steak Spice see Recipe
  • 1 tbsp. grapeseed oil or any other flavorless oil tips & tricks
  • 4 cups lettuce such as iceberg or Romaine
  • 1/2 cup red peppers, sliced
  • 1 cup English cucumber, peeled, sliced and halved
  • 1/2 cup red onions, thinly sliced (Lyonnaise cut) tips & tricks
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, washed and halved tips & tricks
  • 1/2 cup sharp Cheddar cheese, grated
  • 2 cups French fries see Recipe
  • 3/4 cup ranch dressing see Recipe

Directions

  • Season steak on both sides including the edges with Montréal Steak Spice and let it sit until it gets to room temperature, about 30 minutes.
  • In a skillet over high heat, add oil and when it gets hot, place the well-seasoned steak. Grill for 5 minutes on one side then flip it and grill until desired doneness.
  • When the meat is done, cover with foil forming a tent and allow it to rest 10 minutes while assembling the salad.
  • Evenly divide lettuce between two large serving bowls or plates. Add red pepper slices, cucumber, red onions, cherry tomatoes and cheese.
  • After 10 minutes, thinly slice the steak and evenly place them on one side of the bowls or plates on top of the salad. Add French fries on the other half and drizzle on Ranch dressing. Serve immediately.
