Everyone needs a go-to Green Goddess dressing in their life, and that's exactly what this impressive steak salad has to offer. And a wholesome serving of red meat, too...
Feedfeed Tip It's important to let your steak rest for at least 5 or 10 minutes after it's done cooking. If you cut into it too quickly, all those delicious juices that you worked so hard to get will run out of the steak, thus sacrificing flavor. Patience is key!
Truth be told, lettuce wraps may not *sound* like the most exciting dinner, but you're just going to have to take our word that this is a dinner your family will be begging for time and time again.
