Grilled Steak with Blue Cheese and Balsamic Onions on Greens


Grilled Steak with Blue Cheese and 
Balsamic Onions on Bed of Greens
Since the weather is warming up, I am so happy to start grilling again!  I've grilled the Flank Steak a few times already.  It's one of my favorite cuts of meat.  It's just so flavorful and tender.  We've made the Steak and Portabella Fajitas a few times already...but I wanted to try something different with it this week.  Enter, Grilled Steak with Blue Cheese and Balsamic Onions on Bed of Greens.  A hearty dinner salad is just what I had in mind!  Served this way, I feel like I get the perfect amount of steak and a mix of all those healthy greens and onions.  It's making my mouth water simply writing this!  I love to assemble salads on individual plates, to make sure it looks gorgeous AND to make sure it has the right amount of steak, cheese and onions on each portion.
