Steak Blue Cheese Avocado Salad

Steak Blue Cheese Avocado Salad. Can we talk about this please? This recipe basically has all my favorite things, except chocolate of course ????. Blue Cheese Crumbles? Check. Chunks of ripe avocado? Check. And of course medium rare steak? ????????????

The PERFECT summer food. A light, easy salad with a tangy marinated steak and homemade balsamic vinaigrette. Once you've marinated the meat, this recipe only takes about 15 minutes to make! Woohooooo! No oven required. I made this steak on the stove top but this could easily be done on a grill, and just in time for Father's Day!

Steak and blue cheese. Whoever though up that combination was a genius. Creamy bleu cheese crumbles scattered on top of a mustard, red wine vinegar, Worcestershire sauce marinated steak? Oh and then let's throw some avocado in there because MORE delicious things are necessary right?

So Steak Blue Cheese Avocado Salad for Father's Day this weekend? Easy peezy? A meal with easy prep and little mess? Yes please!
