Step-by-step
- Add the garlic, steak seasoning, tamari, red wine vinegar, Worcestershire, Dijon, lemon juice, and grapeseed oil into a glass jar or container with a tight-fitting lid. Shake to combine.
- Place 2-3 (about 2 pounds) ribeye steaks in a bowl or baking dish and pour half of the dressing/marinade over top. Use tongs to toss and coat the steak in the dressing.
- Let the steaks marinate at room temperature for 30 minutes.
- Heat a grill to 400 degrees.
- Place the steaks on the grill and cook for 6-8 minutes per side depending on desired doneness.
- Place the grilled steaks on a cutting board, cover with foil, and let rest.
- Meanwhile, place a grill basket on hot grill grates. Once hot, lay down the bunch of red grapes and grill for 5-8 minutes until they start to caramelize, plump, and burst. Remove to a bowl.
- In a large bowl, toss together the leafy greens, sliced shallots, and blue cheese and divide among four plates.
- Slice the steak into strips and serve on top of the salad.
- Drizzle with a couple of spoonfuls of the remaining dressing and a sprinkle of dry roasted sunflower seeds for crunch.
- NOTE: Try crisping your shallots in a little olive oil and butter until crispy for more texture and flavor.
