My family loves to eat steak on Saturdays, and Sundays of course are left over days, we call them Schroeder suppers, after my mothers family. This recipe is a great way to turn left over steak into a wonderful meal. We like this so much that we have often made it into our Saturday meal with no leftovers for Sunday.

How To Make fully loaded steak salad

  • 1
    Place the steak in the Jack Daniel's bag and marinate for 1 hr turning over after 30 minutes. Can be marinated longer if you choose.
  • 2
    While the steak is marinating, Preheat an oven to 450 degrees for the potatoes
  • 3
    Peel the potatoes and cut into chunks, then in a bowl, add the oil, pepper to taste, and cajun seasoning to the potatoes and toss to coat evenly.
  • 4
    Cook the potatoes in the oven for 30 minutes, turning half way through. The potatoes should be crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Set aside.
  • 5
    Remove steak from bag and season with fresh ground pepper. Let the steak sit a room temp for at least 30 minutes for more even cooking.
  • 6
    Preheat grill to at least a 450 degree temp
  • 7
    Grill steak to desired temp and cover with foil or plastic wrap to rest for 5-10 minutes
  • 8
    Prepare the salad by mixing the spring mix and the romaine with the onion, bacon, tomato and cheeses and split into 4 bowls
  • 9
    Add the cooked potatoes to the salads
  • 10
    Slice the steak and place on top of salads
  • 11
    Serve with your favorite dressing, I like either bleu cheese, ranch or a balsamic vinegarette, also mixing the balsamic with the blue cheese is great
  • 12
    Sour dough croutons make a nice addition to the salad as well. Enjoy!
