THE INGREDIENTS:
- 2 boneless rib eye steaks, about 12 ounces each and 1 inch thick, trimmed of excess fat
- Kosher salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 80 milliliters of buttermilk
- 80 milliliters of plain low-fat Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh chives
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 85 grams of crumbled blue cheese
- 4 Italian tomatoes, halved lengthwise
- 1 red onion, about 1 pound, cut crosswise into ½-inch slices
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 large head iceberg lettuce, quartered
Instructions
-
Season steaks evenly with ½ teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon pepper. Let steaks sit at room temperature for 15 to 30 minutes before grilling.
-
Prepare grill for direct cooking over medium-high heat (400 to 450°F).
-
In a small bowl, whisk together buttermilk, yogurt, chives, lemon juice, ¼ tsp salt and ⅛ tsp pepper. Stir in blue cheese. Set aside.
-
Brush tomatoes and onion with oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill tomatoes and onion directly over medium-high heat, with lid closed and turning occasionally, until tomatoes are blistered (don’t worry if tomato skins slide off) and onion is tender. Tomatoes should take 6 to 8 minutes and onions 8 to 10 minutes. Cut onion slices in half.
-
Grill steak directly over medium-high heat with lid closed for about 8 minutes, turning once or twice to achieve medium-rare doneness. Remove from grill and let rest for 3 to 5 minutes. Cut steaks into thin slices.
-
Place a wedge of iceberg lettuce on each of four serving plates, then top with equal amounts of steak, tomatoes, onion and dressing. Serve immediately.
