How to Grill the Best Steak?
Luckily that is also very easy!

- Season the steak on both sides.
- Preheat the grill before adding the steak.
- Grill for 6-8 minutes each side on high heat.
STEAK SALAD DRESSING
This simple balsamic vinaigrette is a favorite of mine and goes well with any other kind of salad. For this steak salad recipe, I have included the exact quantities you need to make the dressing. However, you can always make it in a larger batch and store it in the fridge. It will come handy when you’re in the mood for a salad again. Balsamic vinaigrette will keep well when stored in fridge in an air tight jar for at least 3 weeks.
- Balsamic vinegar
- Olive oil
- Salt
Once you whisk these 3 ingredients together, you will have a delicious salad dressing! 🙂
