    Hi....
    This is soooooooooo good! I didn't want to spend the extra money for only a couple of tablespoons of steak sauce, so I found a recipe and made my own (recipe included)! I had all of the ingredients on hand....but I only made up 1/4 of the recipe. I also made up my own balsamic vinaigrette (recipe included).
    Enjoy!

    Greek Islands Steak Salad
    Ingredients


    1 boneless beef top loin steak (8 ounces)
    1 tablespoon A.1. steak sauce

    MUSHROOMS:
    1-1/2 cups sliced fresh mushrooms
    2 tablespoons butter
    1 tablespoon sherry or chicken broth
    1/8 teaspoon salt
    1/8 teaspoon pepper

    SALAD:
    4 cups torn mixed salad greens
    10 cherry tomatoes, halved
    2/3 cup thinly sliced cucumber
    10 pitted Greek olives
    1/4 cup finely chopped red onion
    1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
    1/4 cup prepared balsamic vinaigrette
    Directions


    Rub steak on both sides with steak sauce; let stand for 10 minutes.
    Meanwhile, in a small skillet, saute mushrooms in butter until golden brown. Add the sherry, salt and pepper. Cook 1-2 minutes longer or until liquid is evaporated. Set aside and keep warm.
    Using long-handled tongs, dip a paper towel in cooking oil and lightly coat the grill rack. Grill steak, covered, over medium heat or broil 4 in. from the heat for 5-6 minutes on each side or until meat reaches desired doneness (for medium-rare, a meat thermometer
    should read 145°; medium, 160°; well-done, 170°). Let
    stand for 5 minutes before slicing.
    Divide salad greens between two plates. Top with tomatoes, cucumber, olives, onion, steak and mushrooms. Sprinkle with cheese. Drizzle
    with vinaigrette. Serve immediately.
    Yield: 2 servings.

    ….and this is the recipe I used for the balsamic vinaigrette:

    Greens with Balsamic Vinaigrette

    Even when there are just two at the table, Sandy Hunt, Racine, Wisconsin, sees to it that her salads are well-dressed for dinner. "I keep a bottle of this light dressing in the fridge," she says.
