Ingredients
For the Salad
- 2 New York Strip Steaks grilled
- 1 head bibb lettuce
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes
- 1 ball mozzarella cheese sliced
- ¼ cup basil sliced
- ¼ cup shredded Parmesan
For the dressing
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 3 tbsp balsamic vinegar
- 2 tbsp Mike's Hot Honey
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
- pinch salt and pepper
Instructions
- Prep & grill steak. Follow the recipe for my Ninja Foodi Grilled Steak for the easiest tastiest grilled steak (you can use a regular grill, too!). The basic steps are written here, but see the post for full details: Add steak marinade and two New York Strip steaks to a freezer size bag. Let marinate for 30 minutes.Heat grill to 500 degrees F. Add the steaks to the hot grill and cook for 3-4 minutes, flip and then grill for another 2-3 minutes (more or less time depending on your preferred level of doneness). Transfer steak to a cutting board and rest while you prepare the rest of the salad.
- While the steak is grilling, make the balsamic vinaigrette. In a small bowl, whisk together all ingredients until smooth and set aside.
- Slice the tomatoes in half and cut the fresh basil leaves into thin ribbons.
- Build the salad. If making for a large group, I like to put this salad on a serving platter as the tomatoes and mozzarella will often sink to the bottom in a deep salad bowl. Layer lettuce, mozzarella slices, cherry tomatoes, fresh parm and sprinkle on the fresh basil.
- Cut the steak against the grain and add steak slices to the top of the salad. Enjoy!

Notes
- For best results, use a meat thermometer to ensure it's cooked to your liking.
- Store leftover salad separate from dressing for up to 3 days.
