Ingredients:

  • 1 beef Top Sirloin Steak boneless, cut 1 inch thick (about 1 pound)
  • 4 small or 2 medium heads Boston lettuce, torn
  • 1/2 cup dried cherries or dried cranberries
  • 1/4 cup crumbled blue cheese
  • 1/4 cup pine nuts or coarsely chopped walnuts, toasted (optional)
Dressing:
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
