STEAK AND SEASONING INGREDIENTS

  • 1 lb. elk tenderloin, backstrap, sirloin, skirt or flank steak
  • 2 tbsp thyme, chopped
  • 2 tbsp chives, chopped
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced

COBB SALAD INGREDIENTS

  • 6 cups romaine or artisan-blend lettuce, coarsely chopped
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 4 hard-boiled eggs, quartered
  • 1 ear of corn on the cob
  • 1 large avocado, sliced
  • ½ red onion, thinly sliced
  • 4 oz bleu cheese, crumbled (substitute crumbled feta, crumbled cotija, or shredded sharp cheddar if desired)
  • 2 tbsp chives, chopped
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp black pepper

DRESSING INGREDIENTS

  • 1 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • ½ cup balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper

PREPARATION

Pat elk steaks dry. In a small bowl, mix thyme, chives, black pepper, salt and garlic. Spread mixture onto each side of the steak, pressing evenly.

Preheat grill to medium heat (325-375 degrees) and place steaks and corn onto grill, then turn occasionally. Grill steaks for 7-10 minutes for medium-rare (130‑135 internal temp), 9-12 minutes for medium (135-140 internal temp), or 12-15 minutes for medium-well (140‑150 internal temp). Transfer steaks to a cutting board, allow to rest 5 minutes and then slice thin.

Grill corn approximately 10 minutes until slightly charred. Remove kernels from cob with a knife.

Arrange lettuce onto platter or bowl. Top in sections with steak slices, tomatoes, eggs, grilled corn, avocado, onion and bleu cheese. Sprinkle with salt, black pepper and chives.

Combine dressing ingredients into a jar with a lid and shake until well mixed. Drizzle salad with dressing and dig in!
