STEAK LETTUCE SALAD
The best salad I've ever eaten!! We got given some leftover ribeyes from a barbecue at my husband's company. I've seen recipes for steak salad many times before but never had the luxury of steaks to play with! Of course, I couldn't find any of the recipes that I'd been hoarding for just such a time so came up with my own dressing that suited the salad to a T. If you mix up the dressing and let it sit for at least a half an hour, it blends the flavours better and makes it that much tastier! We used sourdough croutons which were really good for this salad. The steak needs to be completely cooled so that it doesn't wilt the lettuce.
