This steak salad is incredible! The flavors blend perfectly, and the feta adds a nice kick. Definitely a keeper! 😍
YUM! I didn’t have balsamic vinegar, so I used apple cider instead. Still turned out fantastic! Will make again for sure!
Using apple cider instead of balsamic? That’s interesting! I never thought of that. Glad it worked out for you!
Idk, are you sure the apple cider is as good? Balsamic is really special… But I’m happy it turned out for you.
Steak salad? Sounds gross, just eat a steak by itself! Who needs salad? 😂
Just okay. I thought it would be more flavorful, but it was kind of bland. Needed more spices, I guess. 🤷♂️
Bland? Really? I thought the dressing had enough flavor. Maybe just use more salt next time? 🤔
I totally agree! I added some garlic and cayenne, and it made a huge difference. So much better with extra spices! 🌶️
I tried this recipe, but my steak ended up too tough. I think grilling it for 5 minutes was too long. So stick with 3!
Maybe you cooked it too long or your grill was too hot? I usually grill mine for about 4 mins and it’s perfect. Just gotta keep an eye on it!
