Instructions
Preheat grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Rub ½ Tbsp olive oil on both sides of steak and sprinkle and rub ½ tsp salt and ½ tsp pepper onto both sides.
Place steak on grill or grill pan and cook for about 4 minutes on each side until desired degree of doneness (I like to cook to medium rare, which should register at 140 degrees on a meat thermometer).
Remove steak from grill or pan and let stand for 5 minutes. Slice steak against the grain into thin slices.
While steak is resting, add remaining 1 Tbsp oil to a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add tortilla strips and let cook for about 2 minutes before flipping and cooking for another minute, until golden and crispy. Sprinkle with remaining ¼ tsp salt.
Divide greens between two large salad bowls. Divide strawberries, sliced onions, and blue cheese between bowls and toss together. Top salads with steak, tortilla strips, and lemon dressing.
Lemon Dressing
Put all ingredients in a small mason jar and shake well.
Notes
*If you prefer, you can use store-bought crispy tortilla strips instead of making homemade
