Steak Salad (Ranen Salad) Reviews
I thought this was great. We have been eating steak salads for a long time and the dressing is the only thing so far that actually tastes good with all the other flavors. I did make some changes to it though. First I omitted the walnuts and mushrooms, my wife will not eat them, I also added onion, we love onion, and then to the dressing I added, 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley, 2 large cloves of garlic and best of all about a half teaspoon of crushed red pepper, it made the dressing like a light chimchurri it was delicious. Enjoy
WOW, Rebecca Great salad for a hot summer night, or any other night for that matter. My family loved this I grilled the steak and cut into 1/2"X1" strips. This made for a pretty presentation. I used approx 1 cup of red leaf lettuce for more color, and toasted the walnuts for a more flavor. The dressing was amazing and added extra culinary excitement with the smokey, piquant flavor.I served homemade guacamole on the side, which my family said really enhanced the great flavors of this salad.Thanks for sharing.This is our new favorite summertime meal.
Fabulous salad, it was a delicious and filling main course meal I added some chopped purple onion to the salad, and I substituted extra virgin olive oil for the vegetable oil.
Nice quick meal. My husband & I both thought the dressing had to much of a vinegar taste, so will cut back on the red wine vinegar a touch.
I guess I have different taste from most people. The salad ingredients are really great. I just recommend having a back-up bottle of dressing, just in case your family doesnt care for the one here. We really scrimped on a small bottle of blue cheese to make it go around. I like all of the ingredients in the dressing; its just not something we could eat mixed together. Try dipping some lettuce in the mixture, first, before risking the whole salad. Im sure I must have a little pickiness, though. It was something different to try.
This was very easy to make, but it wasnt anything special. Eveyone in the family had the same feeling. The dressing was flavorful, but again nothing to rave over. Just ok, and I probably wouldnt make it again.
Used leftover grilled ribeye for the meat. Loved all the ingredients -- colors were pretty. Used regular bagged spring mix. I dont like liquid smoke so I didnt make the dressing -- topped with a champagne dressing. Tasted fine.
So yummy, easy, and filling I used a leftover NY strip from the night before. I didnt measure anything, just sprinkled it on to my liking. I made the dressing in a bottle and plan to use more of it tonight on a salad with chicken. I really liked the dressing, just dont douse it on. I love the way this recipe looks and if you have leftover steak, it can be made in less than five minutes. I will definitely have this again.

This salad is excellent. I added guacamole on top and increased the broil time a little for the steak, but besides that didnt change a thing. I will definately make again.
It was wonderful. If you like steak and blue cheese you will love this recipe. Yummy.
Great summer salad...I didnt add the liquid smoke to the dressing but I did add 1 clove garlic minced and 1/4 tspn red pepper flakes as per others suggestions. I grilled the steak after marinating it in equal parts olive oil and balsamic vinegar, dried marjoram, oregano, slivered garlic and s/p. I added extra veggies I had to use up in addition to the ones listed. I will definately make again Rebecca. :)
I really like the consept of this salad, but I didnt care to much for the dresseing, After I made the dressing I ended up putting some Italian dressing to kick it up a notch.
My husband loved this salad, he said it was worthy of a 5-star restaurant, and believe me thats no small feat: my husband is notoriously picky Thanks for the great recipe
Its a hit Excellent dressing and a perfect summer recipe.
My husband and I liked this. I will make it for our big Easter gathering. I did not use the liquid smoke or tomatoes. This salad is nice for diabetics and low-carb dieters as there is no sugar in the dressing and no dried fruit in the salad.
We love this steak salad. We dont use the dressing in the recipe, instead we use a balsamic vinaigrette adding some blue cheese dressing to it (to taste) mixed together, very good.
Made this for 2 guests and they loved it I marinated the meat in the dressing mixture (minus the oil) before broiling. Also added avacado, zucchini and boiled egg. I will make this again.
Really good and really easy with ingredients we usually have on hand. We ate this at a friends house and it was so good I looked up the recipe when I got home
Delicious, but leave out the Liquid Smoke.
We grilled sirlion tips after marinating them for an hour in the dressing and the combo was incredible. I prepped the salad and popped it in the fridge as the meat soaked so it was nice and colld when the beed was cooked. The textures, the flavors, combined with the temperature made it so yummy. Serve with fresh unsalted tortilla chips for even more dimension. This is a favorite now
I loved this It was simple and delicious. I served mine in warm pita bread. The blue cheese and walnut combine with the beef to give this an incredibly decadent flavor. Ive made this also with grilled shrimp and it was divineThanks for a great recipe
This was one of the best salads Ive ever made and it was very simple. The one thing I did differently though was that I sauteed the mushrooms a bit.
We make this bi-weekly now. Its a great recipe, though we just use blue cheese for the dressing.
I am sure the recipe must really be pretty good, but the idea of watching 4 people, ("I just made this for lunch for some friends and it was fantastic-the plate was licked clean.") sitting at the table licking their plates. . . Eeew
This salad was wonderful I made a seperate batch of the dressing without the oil & used it as a marinade for the steak.
Great and very filling, even for my husband. I did make a few changes. I added a can of mandarin oranges and then toasted the walnuts with a 1/2 package ramen noodles in butter for the top.
I DID NOT make this with all of the ingredients because I never have them on hand - the walnuts mushrooms or crumbled blue cheese - so I left those out and added some diced green pepper and sliced green onion. I used blue cheese salad dressing to make up for no crumbled blue cheese. I made the dressing replacing some leftover steak sauce (from this site) in place of the liquid smoke. Great way to use up leftover steak.
THIS WAS EXCELLENT The steak was fenomonle (I know its spelled wrong), and this rest was even BETTER I loved this recipe
Not as good as I expected, needs something.
EXCELLENT Unfortunately Publix dissapointed me in there meat choice. tenderness of this meat is vital Easy to make, slice meat thin. dont cut yourself short on flavor use exact tomatoes, lettuce, meat, cheese, etc.each one of these particular items, have a small minute unique flavor....worth it
Very tasty. My girlfriend loved it. I found the steak too chewy but that is my fault as I over-broiled it because she doesnt like it undercooked.
We enjoyed this salad and thought the dressing was fabulous Vinaigrette with a smoky touch - perfect. My husband didnt like the steak "cold", but the rest of us thought it was very good. I used feta for those who dont appreciate blue cheese.
This is a keeper. The salty taste of the blue cheese contrasted by the vinegary taste of the dressing and the crunchiness of the walnuts makes this recipe a keeper.YUMM Thanks for the recipe.
I made this salad on several occasions and it is divine. I followed the vinaigrette recipe to the letter but mixed the salad with whatever I had on hand for vegetables. I grilled the steak with La Grille Montreal steak spice from Club House, great combination. The liquid smoke makes this dish. thanks for the recipe.
Really liked it
Tasty salad but I found I could only taste the vinegar in the dressing. And I *love* vinegar. I did leave the mixture overnight as dinner got pushed off that night, so I dont know if that allowed the vinegar to steal the show?The steak could have used some marinating as well as others here have done. My own mistakes included using dry feta in a bag--I hadnt tried it before and it does not have HALF the flavor of real wet feta in brine.
Pretty good
Loved this recipe I cooked the mushrooms and omitted the tomato. It was a complete hit at the dinner table. Will definitely make again, next time for company also
Great dinner salad. I personally like it with a little goat cheese instead. Also, adding the crushed red pepper, garlic and parsley like the other reviewers suggest is a great idea. Great dressing for a quick and easy meal
Id like to know where you came up with this recipe Rebecca because it was deliciously different Lots of different taste sensations going on here which complimented one another beautifully. I wouldnt cook a steak specifically for this dish, but leftovers work wonderfully. Hubby had the steak and I used chicken for my salad. Thank you for your wonderful post
We loved this recipe. I changed it by adding some yellow peppers and red onions. I also used a bagged spring mix for the greens. Super easy. I left out the smoke flavoring - I dont like it. The blue cheese and walnuts worked well wih the steak.
This is a very good recipe. I did change the dressing somewhat to cool down the vinegar. I used extra virgin olive oil instead of vegetable oil and lime juice instead of lemon as I realized too late I was out of lemon I also added another teaspoon of worcestershire, increased the liquid smoke to 1/4 teaspoon, added 1T of honey and 1T of Splenda. Lastly I added about 3/4 shakes of sesame oil. We will definitely be making this again.
Delicious. I used a cheap cut of steak so I cannot imagine just how much better it would be with a great cut of steak. Ended up using pecans instead of walnuts and the nuts really add to this. I did leave out the liquid smoke and I dont think I would have missed it since I marinaded my steak with a smoky marinade. I sauteed the mushrooms as they were going bad and I think I would like it better than raw mushrooms. I have leftors since I just made it myself. I will also try the dressing on its own, very tasty and simple.
Delicious
Yum Healthy and filling too We used flank steak instead (cheaper??), and had hard boiled eggs as well...my husband felt it was one of the only filling salads hes had
Big hit at our dinner party, beautiful presentation. Not to mention it tasted good to. Used london broil that I marinated the night before then grilled. Thanks for the post.
This is a great recipe to serve to guests on a nice summer night. I usually double the dressing to make sure we have enough.
This is a terrific salad Would recommend to everyone
I served this for a party and got rave reviews. Will definitely make again.
Hmmm...Mixed reviews here. I really liked my salad, minus the meat with added guacamole. My husband did not care for the dressing, which I unfortunately marinated the steak in as well. Loved the salad portion of it all though and look forward to trying another dressing with it.
Easy, quick and tasty.
Made this tonight. I loved it My MIL refused to even try the dressing and would not eat the steak as it was medium rare and she only likes well-done. My guy didnt eat his steak either.
I just made this for lunch for some friends and it was fantastic-the plate was licked clean. Serve with crusty sourdough bread.
Changed a the blue cheese option for other cheese, otherwise it was perfect
I absolutely love this recipe I am trying to cut out carbs and have a tasty meal. This is easily customizable. I have made this 3 times in the last 2 weeks. Thanks much
This is a great salad. The dressing is the best. Absolutely makes the salad I used Gorgonzola cheese instead of the blue cheese. I would make the dressing and keep for other salad recipes
This was excellent I had a leftover steak that I used. I followed the recipe as written, except I toasted the walnuts and used olive oil. The dressing was spot on Making this again tonight
This is delicious, easy and relatively quick. A wonderful main dish salad. We served it with warm steak which provided a wonderful mix of warm and cool. We also substituted garlic and herb feta cheese for the blue cheese since one of our daughters doesnt like blue cheese.
This is an incredible salad. Very pretty layered in a glass bowl. Great for Easter dinner.
This was great. Very high marks. Will definately make again.
Very Good
MMMMMM Good...
