Instructions

Season the Steak: Generously season the flank or sirloin steak with salt and pepper on both sides to enhance its natural flavors.
Heat the Pan: In a skillet or grill pan, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering to prepare for cooking the steak.
Cook the Steak: Place the steak in the hot pan and cook for about 4–5 minutes per side for medium-rare doneness or until it reaches your preferred level. Remove from heat and let the steak rest for 5 minutes to allow juices to redistribute.
Slice the Steak: After resting, slice the steak thinly against the grain to maximize tenderness and set aside.
Prepare the Salad Base: In a large salad bowl or platter, spread the 6 cups of chopped romaine lettuce evenly as the foundation of your salad.
Arrange the Toppings: Neatly layer the sliced steak, halved cherry tomatoes, sliced avocado, quartered hard-boiled eggs, crumbled cooked bacon, blue cheese crumbles, and thinly sliced red onion over the romaine base.
Dress the Salad: Just before serving, drizzle your favorite ranch or blue cheese dressing over the assembled salad, or serve the dressing on the side to accommodate personal preferences.

Notes

For variation, substitute grilled chicken or salmon in place of the steak.
Add croutons for extra crunch or swap blue cheese with feta cheese to change the flavor profile.
To make this salad suitable for meal prep, keep all ingredients separate until ready to serve to maintain freshness.
