Steak Salad

Ingredients

• Thinly sliced steak
• Romaine lettuce
• French fries
• Mozzarella cheese (shredded)
• Ranch dressing

Marinate your steak (your choice of marinade) for a few hours. Cook fries according to the directions. Broil or grill your steak and then slice into thin fajita sized strips. On a plate or wide bowl place lettuce, steak, fries, and top with shredded cheese. Serve with ranch dressing. I will try to get a picture up after dinner tonight.
