How to Make Quick-Seared Skirt Steak on Romaine and Blue Cheese Salad

1. Preheat and Prep

Preheat a large skillet over high heat.

2. Season the Steak

Dry the steak with a paper towel and season both sides liberally with pink salt and freshly ground black pepper.

3. Sear to Perfection

Add butter to the skillet. Once melted, lay the steak in the pan. Cook for approximately 3 minutes on each side to achieve a medium-rare doneness.

4. Rest the Steak

Transfer the steak to a cutting board and allow it to rest for 5 minutes before slicing. This ensures the juices redistribute for maximum tenderness.

5. Build the Base

Arrange the chopped romaine hearts evenly across two plates.

6. Add the Toppings

Scatter grape tomato halves, crumbled blue cheese, and pecans over the lettuce.

7. Dress the Salad

Drizzle olive oil over the salad as a light dressing.

8. Slice and Serve

Cut the skirt steak against the grain into thin strips. Lay the steak strips atop the prepared salads. Serve immediately and enjoy the harmony of warm steak with cool, crisp salad.
