Romaine Peppercorn-Steak Salad

How to Make Romaine Peppercorn-Steak Salad

Author Jackie Newgent says, “This scrumptious entrée salad recipe was inspired by one I used to enjoy when visiting Chicago’s Gibsons Bar & Steakhouse back when I was 20-something. My cousin Monica and I often shared their large helping. I no longer live in the windy city, but luckily I’ve created a healthier version of the peppery salad that’s sized just right for anyone to enjoy in any part of the country. Here it is!”

Step-By-Step Instructions:

  1. In a large bowl, combine the lettuce, arugula, and onion. Keep chilled.
  2. Coarsely grind the peppercorns in a spice or coffee grinder, peppermill, or food processor. Rub the peppercorns over both sides of steaks. Or pour the coarsely ground peppercorns onto a plate and firmly press both sides of each steak into them until coated. Lightly coat steaks with cooking spray.
  3. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the steaks and cook until medium rare, about 4 minutes per side. (Use your kitchen exhaust fan if steaks begin to smoke.) Sprinkle the steaks with the salt and let stand at least 5 minutes before slicing.
  4. Meanwhile, toss the salad mixture with tomatoes and dressing. Arrange salad evenly on 4 plates. Slice each steak into 10 pieces. Arrange the steak on top of the salads, sprinkle with the cheese, and serve.
