A Winner of a Dinner

Okay, so we all know when it comes to food, Seth is hard to please. Everything is just "okay". I'm ammune to it now and no longer take it personally when he doesn't dish out the compliments after I've been cooking in the kitchen. Well, tonight was one of those nights that happens about once every 6 months when I got not only a compliment on dinner ("Tasty" was the word he used) and a comparison to a restaurant he likes ("this salad looks like something you'd get at Panera") but the grandaddy of them all........... "This is about the best dinner you've made in a long time!" WOO-HOO! I think I'll celebrate with a cup of hot tea :) Here is where I found the recipe and also see below:

STEAK SALAD
1 3/4 lb. beef sirloin steak
1/3 cup olive oil
3 TBS red wine vinegar
2 TBS lemon juice
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 tsp. salt
1/8 tsp. pepper
1 tsp. worcestershire sauce
3/4 cup blue cheese crumbles
8 cups romaine lettuce
2 tomatoes, sliced
1 small green pepper, sliced
1/2 cup red onion, sliced
1 carrot, sliced
1/4 cup sliced, pimento stuffed green olives

1. grill steak to desired cooking temp. Set aside until cool enough to handle. Slice into bite size pieces
2. in small bowl, wisk together: oil, vinegar, lemon juice, garlic, worchestershire, salt, and pepper. Mix in blue cheese crumbles. Cover and chill in fridge.
3. Arrange lettuce, tomatoes, green pepper, onion, carrots and olives on plate. Top with steak and drizzle with dressing. Serve with crusty bread.

*modifications: I omitted olives (yuck) and forgot all about the carrots. I used the refrigerated kind of minced garlic. I pretty much half this recipe for the two of us. It's supposed to serve 5 for the full recipe. I'll probably make this when we have company :) ENJOY!!!
