Hit The Roast Jack Steak Salad
DATE: August 05, 2025
When it comes to flavor, this steak salad hits all the right notes — and it’s all thanks to our Hit the Roast Jack Coffee Roast Rub. With a smooth blend of allspice, garlic, coffee, smoked paprika, and earthy porcini mushroom powder, this rub turns an ordinary New York strip into a showstopper. Layered over crisp red leaf lettuce, sweet grape tomatoes, and peppery watermelon radish, then finished with tangy blue cheese, it’s the perfect harmony of bold, savory, and fresh. One bite, and you’ll be singing, “Hit the Roast, Jack — and don’t you come back without seconds!”

For the Salad
- 1 lb New York strip steak (¾-inch thick)
- 1 tbsp Hit the Roast Jack Coffee Roast Rub
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- 3 cups red leaf lettuce, torn
- 1 watermelon radish, thinly sliced
- 1 cup grape tomatoes, halved
- ¼ cup blue cheese crumbles
- fresh dill for garnish
For the Dressing
- 1 small garlic clove, finely minced or puréed
- ½ cup plain yogurt (thin with a little milk if very thick)
- 2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 oz blue cheese
- ½ tsp Dijon mustard
- Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Directions
- Season the steak: Pat the steak dry and season both sides with the Hit the Roast Jack Coffee Roast Rub and kosher salt, pressing the seasoning into the meat.
- Cook the steak: Heat a cast-iron skillet over high heat. Lightly oil each side of the steak, then sear for about 5 minutes on the first side. Flip and cook for another 3–4 minutes, or until an instant-read thermometer reads 120°F for medium-rare (adjust time for preferred doneness). Transfer to a cutting board and let rest for 10 minutes before slicing thinly against the grain.
- Make the dressing: In a medium bowl, whisk together the garlic and yogurt. Add olive oil, salt, and pepper, whisking until smooth. Stir in the blue cheese and Dijon mustard, whisking until the dressing is mostly smooth with a few small cheese crumbles remaining.
- Assemble the salad: Arrange the lettuce in a large serving bowl or platter. Top with tomatoes and watermelon radish slices. Add the sliced steak, then sprinkle with more blue cheese crumbles. Drizzle with the dressing, garnish with fresh dill and serve immediately.
