    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

I've been having a craving for some salad mixed with some nice, rare steak pieces...I was thinking something along the lines of spring salad mix, italian dressing, feta cheese, and some sirloin tips, but if anyone has a suggestion please post! Thanks!
 
First-I marinate veggies in a good balsamic vinegar-zucchini, mushrooms, green pepper chunks, etc. and throw them on the grill on low-just until they're getting a bit golden.

I thinly slice some red onion and some strawberries, and chop up some pecans.

Next, I toss the onion, berries and pecans into the spring mix with some balsamic vinegar.

I crank the grill up to medium high and slap a steak (I use rib-eyes) on the grill, cooking till RARE!!

I bevel slice the steak into nice thin strips, and throw it on the spring mix and berries with the grilled veggies.

It's my own twist on TGIFriday's Strawberry Fields salad, crossed with the steak and roasted veggie salad served at a local Greek restaurant.

ONE HELL OF A MEAL!!!

I've done the same thing with marinated chicken breasts.

Sometimes I'll crumble a couple of slices of bacon on it, too.

I've also used sliced pears or peaches when they're in season-in place of the berries.

Pick a cheese-any cheese...I don't eat it because I have lots of food allergies-including cheeses.
 
Larb Moo (Thai style Beef Salad)

I have a recipie for a thai beef salad that is amazing...

take 1 cup of uncooked jasmin rice..... toat in a skillet until it gets brown.... grind up fine..... this is a condiment in thailand and gives a nutty crunch to many dishes

get a nice ribeye.... slice it up into 1x2 inch pieces... in a very hot pan or wok with a little oil sear meat just enough to cook the outer edge.... keeping the inside raw(20-30 seconds in the pan max).... take off heat

slice thin 1/2 a red onion
chop 4 sprigs of cilantro and 5 thai basil leaves
chop 3 green onion tops

for dressing get 2 tablespoons of fish sauce and 2 tablesppoons of fresh squeezed line juice....... mix with 1 tbsp of dry ground thai red chilis


mix all above ingredients .....add I tsp of the ground toasted rice..... and toss in the meat........ serve in raw cabbage leaves(regular savoy cabbage not NAPA or BOK CHOY)... like lettuce wraps...

this dish is called Larb(pronounced Laab) in thailand..... It's traditionally a very spicy dish ..... the hot and spicy flavors gp great with the cool raw crispy cabbage
 
My steak salad is super easy and something I make when I'm cooking for myself.

Spring mix tossed with a bit of olive oil and balsamic vinegar.
Top that with blue cheese, red onion and walnuts. (bacon and/or strawberries are also good additions)
Place sliced steak on top! And voila!

I like to make my own croutons too. Just find a nice crusty bread and cut into crouton sized cubes. Put the cubes on aluminum foil and toss with olive oil, sea salt and cracked black pepper (you really can't over do it on the seasoning). Throw that in the oven at 350F until crispy! I like to mix them with the lettuce and dressing a bit before everything else is ready so that they have a bit of time to soak up some of the dressing. Then the are the perfect amount of crunchy.
Yum yum yum. May have to make this for lunch...
