For me this Blackened Steak Salad is the perfect way to eat steak. I get to enjoy a big salad and the juicy slices of meat make it feel like a special treat. Of course it’s just a salad so you can adjust the amounts of every ingredient to your liking but some combinations are worth repeating. For me this is one of them.

American journalist and food advocate Michael Pollan, published a collection of 64 food rules in his book, Food Rules. He has promoted them for many years and rule #1 is Eat Food.

When I decided to post this recipe my husband wanted to cook the best steak, a rib eye. I immediately thought of food rule #44 – Pay More, Eat Less.

For this salad we cooked a two-inch thick rib eye steak and it was worth every penny but cooking a perfect steak is a skill to be mastered. You need to take the time, pay attention to the details and probably use a thermometer. To eat less simply slice up the meat, people always eat a smaller portion when it’s served like that. Plus, you can cook a single steak and serve several people.
