Pittsburgh Steak Salad

SO I needed something QUICK and easy and really good last night for dinner. Here you go:


Pittsburgh Steak Salad

  • 3 thin cut NY Strip Steaks

  • Ore-Ida Crinkle Cut Fries

  • Cherry Tomatoes

  • 1 small onion (sliced)

  • 2 medium/small carrots shredded

  • 1 Pkg Baby Spinach

  • 1 pkg mixed spring greens or Spinach/Red Lettuce Combo

  • shredded Provolone Cheese

  • Minced Garlic ~3 or 4 cloves

  • Garlic Powder

  • Onion Salt

  • Northwoods Seasoning

  • Chili Power

  • Sauteing oil of choice (coconut or olive or butter) (~ 1 Tbs)

  • Ranch Dressing

Serves: 4

I threw half the bag of Fries in a baking pan, and sprinkled liberally with Onion Powder, Garlic Powder and Chili Powder & set it to bake according to directions. Next, I sliced the steaks into thin strips and tossed the pieces in Northwoods Seasoning, Garlic powder and Onion Salt. Meanwhile, I had the minced garlic sauteeing in the oil. Then I tossed the steak bits into the sauteing garlic & oil and browned all sides, careful not to overcook. The salad was assembled by mixing the spinach and mixed greens on 4 plates, adding onions, shredded carrot, and cherry tomatoes. Lastly, top with steak bits, fries, and shredded cheese. Add Ranch dressing to taste. You can probably just prepare the fries and steak without all the extra spices, but what fun would that be? Total time was probably about 30 mins. Enjoy!
