Let's be real, finding the right Father's Day gift can feel like navigating a minefield. Ties? Check. Gadgets he'll use twice? Double-check. This year, why not give him something truly memorable: a delicious meal made with love? This steak salad isn't just food; it's an experience. Imagine Dad's face lighting up as he takes that first bite – the savory steak, the tangy balsamic, the creamy goat cheese… mmm! I remember one year I tried making my dad breakfast in bed (his favorite!). Lets just say burnt toast and soggy eggs weren't a hit. But he appreciated the effort, and that's what really mattered. That said, you won't need to worry about that with this simple but elegant recipe.
The key to this salad's success? Quality ingredients. Don't skimp on the steak – a good cut like sirloin or ribeye will make all the difference. And that goat cheese? Choose a creamy, flavorful one. As for the greens, I love a mix of peppery arugula and crisp romaine, but feel free to get creative! Maybe some spinach, or even a little bit of kale? The balsamic glaze is the final touch, adding a sweetness and tang that brings everything together. Trust me, it's worth making your own (it's super easy!), but a good quality store-bought version will do in a pinch.

🍽 Ingredients
📖 Instructions
- First, marinate the steak: In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, balsamic vinegar, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Place the steak in a resealable bag and pour the marinade over it. Seal the bag, removing any excess air, and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours. I typically go for two hours; the flavor is amazing.
- Prepare the grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If you don't have a grill, a cast-iron skillet on the stovetop works just fine. Just make sure its nice and hot. You can even use a broiler!
- Grill the steak: Remove the steak from the marinade and discard the marinade. Grill the steak for 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until it reaches your desired level of doneness. Use a meat thermometer to ensure it's cooked perfectly! This is super important.
- Rest the steak: Transfer the grilled steak to a cutting board and let it rest for at least 10 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful steak. Don't skip this step!
- Prepare the salad: While the steak is resting, wash and dry your salad greens. Toss them in a large bowl with sliced cherry tomatoes, cucumber, and red onion.
- Slice the steak: Thinly slice the steak against the grain. This makes it easier to chew and enhances the flavor.
- Assemble the salad: Arrange the sliced steak over the salad greens. Crumble goat cheese over the steak and salad. Drizzle with balsamic glaze. Feel free to add some toasted nuts for extra crunch.
- Serve immediately: Serve the Father's Day Steak Salad immediately and enjoy! Maybe with a side of cold beer, that is my dad's favorite.
📝 Notes
- For a vegetarian version, replace the steak with grilled portobello mushrooms.
- Add toasted pecans or walnuts for extra crunch.
- Feel free to use your favorite salad dressing instead of balsamic glaze.
