Being that Alex and I are from Pittsburgh, we LOVE steak salads. Now normally we like our salads with steak, egg, French fries with cheddar cheese and ranch dressing. I do not even want to know how many points that is on weight watchers so I had to adapt. This recipe uses 4 oz of steak per serving but it is more than enough for the salad.
Take spring mix lettuce and begin to build a salad. We only used the lettuce and tomato but you can add anything else that you want. Sprinkle the steak with salt (and pepper if you want) and sear the steak in a pan so it is done to your liking (we like medium rare to medium).
While this is cooking you can make the dressing. Take ¼ of a cup of butter milk and a ¼ of a cup of reduced fat mayo. Add 2 tablespoons of horseradish (or more if you like it extra tangy), and stir in 4 scallions chopped up. We also added a few dashes of hot sauce and the dressing was delicious. Keep in mind that the dressing serves 4 so if you only have 2 people you still have 2 servings for a salad the next day.
Let the meat rest about 10 minutes and the slice it thinly and top it on the salad. Drizzle the salad with the homemade dressing and you have a perfect salad.
Like I said you can add veggies or hardboiled egg or blue and cheddar cheese if you would like, but you just have to add on the points. This salad with the steak and dressing is only 7 points. It completely fills you up and it is awesome.
Even though Alex and I can’t always have our Pittsburgh favorite, we can always find ways to adapt to them in our Newlywed Kitchen…. Now if only I could make a Primantis sandwich in 10 or less points.
