How to Grill the Best Steak?

Luckily that is also very easy!

• Pick a steak that is at least 3/4 inch thick. The thicker the better!
• 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! 🙂
