Reviews from our home cooks
This was surprisingly good! There were a couple of things I didn't like -- the blue cheese dressing (I substituted Ken's Vidalia Onion dressing -- it was delicious with this combo!) and the spinach mix (I just used the romaine lettuce only, there was plenty!) Easy and FAST to prepare, and I loved the salad with the steak.
Excellent quality steak- again, easy and delicious. I didn't use the blue cheese on my plate and it still tasted delicious. The salad was too much compared to the meat, we had a lot of salad leftover. Still, a great low carb, healthy and easy recipe.
The dressing didn't have a strong blue cheese flavor and blue cheese crumbles would have been amazing with it. Otherwise the steak had great flavor and my kids loved the steak. And there was enough lettuce that I made a 2nd salad during the week.
My husband and I loved the steak salad with blue cheese, the recipe cards are great very easy, the food was fresh and delicious.
Great new recipe-only feedback is that the combination of crispy fried onions AND croutons is maybe a little too much crunch; I would recommend one or the other. And, adding some blue cheese crumbles would take it to the next level.
This was an easy and very nice anniversary dish for us. We even had leftovers because the salad was soooo much and I don't eat beef that much. The steak seasoning had so much flavor!
Steak was cooked perfectly by following the instructions. Real blue cheese would have been a wonderful addition, but the dressing was good.
I didn't like the steak and seasoning alone, but with all the flavors from each component of the salad mixed together, it was perfect! I would even eat the salad without the steak.
Steak was fresh and delicious. The salad had lots of yummy ingredients and was very filling.
Really good but I think it could've been better if it had blue cheese crumbles. Maybe corn too, ranch instead of the blue cheese dressing
