Try This Wonderful Grilled B.L.T. Steak Recipe

A delicious steak is one of life’s finest pleasures. But the only thing that might be better than steak is bacon. So why not put them both together? This recipe combines steak and bacon in a savory way that tastes fresh and light.

Adding bacon and steak to a salad of mixed greens and tomatoes is a perfect summer meal, although you could enjoy it at any time. You can bring the steakhouse home to you with this tasty, savory bacon and steak meal.

This is perfect for a date night at home or any time you want to have a special meal. Fire up the grill and get ready to have a fabulous meal.

Bacon Steak

Bacon and steak have a long history of being combined together. You’ve likely seen bacon-wrapped steaks at the grocery store or at parties. Bacon and steak are two great tastes that taste great together.

When you serve them with tomatoes and over lettuce, you get a classier version of a BLT sandwich. Steak is best served with a hearty salad. This recipe makes it even better because you have the mixed greens and the steak served as the main entrée.

Sometimes you don’t want to have a really heavy meal and this fits that bill nicely. This is a light meal that fills you up without weighing you down.

Crumbled Bacon Steak

This recipe is easy to change depending on your family’s tastes and preferences. You can use iceberg or romaine lettuce if your family doesn’t like the more complex taste of the mixed greens.

You can also use spinach to make a steak spinach salad. Some steakhouses have this on their menu. Serve it with the crumbled bacon and the tomatoes. You also might like to add some cheese to the salad. Consider crumbled feta or blue cheese, or even just shredded cheddar cheese.

Another option is that you can change the dressing for the greens if you prefer. If your family doesn’t like Balsamic vinaigrette, you can also use vinegar and olive oil or even Italian dressing. Serve the dressing on the side so that people can add how much they want.

The nice thing about this recipe is that it’s good all by itself, but you can dress it up more if you want. This recipe goes well with hardboiled eggs, some sliced onions, sliced cucumbers, or shredded carrots. You can also substitute halved cherry tomatoes for the tomato slices.

This meal is perfect for warm nights, sitting on the patio. Serve the steak and mixed greens on plates and drink with a glass of red wine. You’ll feel like you’re at the steakhouse, but you'll be enjoying a delicious meal in the comfort of your home.

Can I Make This Recipe With My Kids?

Many parents enjoy cooking with their kids, provided certain precautions are taken of course. It gives you a wonderful chance to make some fun and lasting memories together. You'll always remember the first dish your children helped you make, and so will they.

Plus, cooking with your kids gives you plenty of opportunities to teach them invaluable skills. They'll need to cook for themselves one day. If they're able to cook a wide variety of dishes, they'll be set up for great success!

So, is this recipe ideal for cooking with kids on deck? We think it's better if kids observe you make this recipe rather than participating heavily themselves. Perhaps you can still include them by having them gather ingredients or plate the finished food.

Many of the steps in this recipe are hard to give to many kids, either because they're too complex or because they create safety concerns. For example, letting a child grill probably isn't the safest idea, unless they're under high supervision. You can still have fun together and teach important lessons even if your children are minimally participating!
