Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a small bowl or jar, combine olive oil, balsamic vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, and minced garlic. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Whisk until emulsified and set aside.
  2. Remove ribeye steak from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes. Season both sides with kosher salt and pepper.
  3. Preheat the grill or grill pan over medium-high heat for about 5 minutes. Grill the steak for 3-4 minutes per side until medium-rare. Let the steak rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
  4. On a large platter, layer arugula as the base. Slice the steak against the grain and place on top of the arugula. Add cherry tomatoes, avocado, pickled onions, and blue cheese.
  5. Whisk the vinaigrette again and drizzle over the salad. Garnish with chives and serve immediately.
