Ingredient Notes and Substitutions

• Steak: I like utilizing flank steak on this recipe! It slices up simply and cooks into skinny, tender slices which can be filled with taste. When you have leftover steak it’s additionally nice in tacos, on high of a baked potato, or in a wrap!
• Cajun/Blackened Seasoning: I’ve made this steak with many various manufacturers of Cajun or blackened seasoning, and it was scrumptious each time, so I don’t have a selected model suggestion. Use your favourite! This time I used Wegmans retailer model Kickin’Cajun seasoning and it was nice.
• Salad: I actually like Spring Combine lettuce for this specific salad (could be present in luggage or tubs within the produce part), however you probably have spinach, inexperienced leaf, romaine, or some other sort of lettuce or salad combine readily available already I’m positive it’ll even be scrumptious.
• Blue Cheese Crumbles: I do know blue cheese could be polarizing, so although it really works effectively on this recipe, it might simply not be your factor. No worries! Strive substituting one other creamy, crumbly cheese like goat cheese or feta!
• Balsamic Dressing: I like Marzetti Merely Balsamic French dressing. It’s surprisingly simply 50 energy, 3g carbs, or 2 WW Factors for a two tablespoon serving, and it doesn’t style mild in any respect. I like that it’s a little bit bit creamy and the flavors are good. You possibly can clearly use one other model in case you want, however I extremely advocate this one!
