1, thinly sliced

Cherry tomatoes

1 cup, halved

Blue cheese

Instructions

1. Prepare the steak by seasoning it generously with salt and pepper. Ensure it is well-coated on all sides.
2. Heat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. When hot, add the steak.
3. Grill the steak for about 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until it reaches your desired level of doneness. Note that the cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the steak.
4. Remove the steak from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute. This step is crucial for a juicy steak.
5. While the steak rests, prepare the salad. In a large bowl, combine the arugula, cherry tomatoes, thinly sliced red onion, and crumbled blue cheese.
6. To create the dressing, whisk together the balsamic vinegar and olive oil in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
7. Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently to ensure all the ingredients are evenly coated.
8. Slice the rested steak into thin strips. Arrange them on top of the salad.
9. Serve the salad immediately. Enjoy this delicious, refreshing, and hearty salad as a main course or a side dish.
