Instructions

Remove the steak from the fridge and allow them to sit at room temperature for at least 30 minutes. Pat the steak dry with a paper towel and season well with sea salt. If grilling, preheat the grill to 400 F or heat a cast iron skillet over medium heat with some olive oil. Cook the steak for 5 - 7 minutes on each side until desired doneness. Use a meat thermometer to verify the internal temperature. Remove the steak from the heat at 130 F for medium rare and 140 F for medium. Let the steak rest for 5 minutes before cutting into strips.
On the grill or in the same cast iron skillet, sear the pineapple for 3 minutes on each side until lightly charred. Transfer to a plate, cut into chunks, and set aside.
Prepare the dressing by adding the greek yogurt, gorgonzola, milk, olive oil, garlic clove, sea salt, and black pepper to a blender and mix well. The dressing will be slightly runny yet thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.
Assemble the salad in a large bowl by adding the spring mix, red onions, slivered almonds, and pineapple. Toss everything together with the dressing until well combined.
Serve the salad with a few strips of steak on top, extra gorgonzola crumbles, if desired, and enjoy!

Notes

Storing : If you anticipate having leftovers, reserve some of the salad mix without the dressing and store it in an airtight container. Do the same with the salad dressing. The salad mix will keep for 2 - 3 days in the fridge. The salad dressing will keep for up to 2 weeks in the fridge - shake or stir well before serving.
