Ingredients
Method
- Cook garlic essence: In a saucepan with 1/2 cup olive oil, sauté smashed garlic on medium heat until fragrant (5-7 minutes). Remove from heat and let cool 5 minutes.
- Blend emulsion: Transfer cooled oil and garlic mixture to a blender with balsamic vinegar. Blend until smooth.
- Grill onions: Heat 1 tsp. olive oil in a skillet, then char red onion slices in batches to avoid overcrowding.
- Cook steak: Season steak with salt and pepper, then cook under high heat for 6-8 minutes for medium-rare. Let rest 5-7 minutes before slicing thinly.
- Assemble salad: Toss greens with dressing, top with steak slices, charred onions, and crumbled blue cheese.
