  • 2 oz. goat cheese

  5. Toast walnuts.
  6. Take a small amount of goat cheese; roll into cooled toasted walnuts; set aside.

  9. Remove and let rest to give the juices time to reabsorb.
  10. Add onions; sauté until soft; deglaze with wine, or balsamic vinegar, or chicken broth.
  11. Dress salad greens with vinaigrette.
  12. Cut steak on bias; place on top of dressed greens; add onions, then goat cheese.
  13. Enjoy.
Notes
You can use any oil you like, any vinegar you like, and any seasoning you like. You can change the ratio to 3:1 if you like less bite. If you know this ratio you can make a single serving or a bucket of vinaigrette. Make it your own.
