"There's nothing better than a classic steakhouse salad. Crisp lettuce, salty bits of bacon and blue cheese, and a creamy dressing speckled with black pepper are the restaurant mainstays coming together to create the perfect backup singers for a hearty steak. This recipe celebrates that winning combination, swapping the lettuce for hearty chicories like radicchio and frisée, which give this salad an edge with their intense flavor and robust crunch."
"But for those craving something milder, iceberg lettuce torn into large chunks or cut into wedges works too. And a quick note on portion size: A single 1-lb. steak will feed about two people, so feel free to double the recipe and cook them together (they will have no trouble taking on a deep sear side by side in the pan)."
Classic steakhouse salad combines crisp lettuce, salty bacon, blue cheese, and a creamy dressing speckled with black pepper. Swapping lettuce for hearty chicories such as radicchio and frisée adds intense, bitter-forward flavor and robust crunch that stands up to a hearty steak. Iceberg lettuce torn into large chunks or cut into wedges offers a milder, crisper alternative. Bacon and blue cheese contribute saltiness and richness while the peppery creamy dressing ties flavors together. A single 1-lb. steak feeds about two people, so doubling the recipe and cooking steaks side by side achieves a deep sear without crowding the pan.
