Steak Spinach Salad with Sour Cream Potatoes

                                                                     Picture of Steak-Spinach Salad With Sour-Cream Potatoes Recipe

This is like a steak house dinner, combined in a much healthier salad-perfect for a summer night dinner outside!

  • 2 medium russet or Yuokn Gold potatoes
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil, plus more for brushing
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 2 tablespoons buttermilk
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh chives
  • Juice of 1/2 lemon
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 3/4-pound boneless sirloin or skirt steak
  • 1 large red onion, sliced into thick rings
  • 6 ounces baby spinach or chopped regular spinach
  • 2 to 3 tablespoons steak sauce
  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F
  2. Pierce the potatoes with a fork and brush with olive oil. Bake directly on the oven rack until tender, about 1 hour
  3. Cool slightly, then cut into chunks
  4. Mix the sour cream, buttermilk, chives and lemon juice in a large bowl and season with salt and pepper, stir in the potatoes
  5. Meanwhile, preheat a grill to high. Brush the steak and onion rings with olive oil and season with salt and pepper
  6. Grill the steak until marked on the bottom, about 7 minutes, then turn and cook 4 to 5 more minutes for medium-rare
  7. Grill the onion rings until charred, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer the steak and onion rings to a cutting board and let rest 5 minutes
  8. Roughly chop the onion rings and toss with the spinach, steak sauce, 3 tablespoons olive oil, and salt and pepper to taste in a bowl
  9. Thinly slice the steak. Divide the salad among plates, top with the steak and serve with the potatoes
