Insalata di Bistecca // Steak Salad

On an especially frustrating or long day, I love to ask for dinner ideas to help inject a little more “buy in”. Many times, the requests revolve around some type of meat and this particularly sultry summer day was no different. Ben injected just a little twist to address the fact that it was hot out– “Oh!! How about steak salad?” And just like that, things started to look up.

Here is a quick and easy steak salad recipe for all to enjoy. Perfect for dining al fresco or eating in; steak salad is a wonderful way to enjoy summer at the table!
