Grilled Steak Salad With Vinaigrette
I put this together for dinner tonight, and it was so good! It was very hearty and filling, with bread and cheese as an accompaniment. Amounts are just estimated guidelines. Use a good quality Dijon mustard, ideally a strong, but not too vinegary, mustard. Prep time is an estimated time for all the chopping etc listed in the ingredients. You can prepare the vegetables, steak, and vinaigrette in advance and refrigerate until ready to use--I'd say use the same day, though, or there will be some loss in quality.

In a pint size mason jar (or other non-reactive container with a tight lid), combine shallots and red wine vinegar. Let sit for 5-10 minutes, then add chives, salt & pepper to taste, and mustard. Pour in olive oil, close lid, and shake vigorously until emulsified. Taste and correct as needed.

To assemble salad, place 2-3 cups of salad greens on each of 4 large plates. Place cucumber, bell pepper, artichoke hearts, and red onion rings on top. Divide steak among salads. Top with chopped tomato. If using potatoes, place around edge of salad. Drizzle vinaigrette over salad. If desired, top with blue cheese crumbles.
