Ingredient info:
Feta cheese can be purchased already crumbled or in a solid block. Try one of the feta cheeses flavored with herbs and spices in this salad.

Kitchen tip:
Beef steak is most flavorful and tender when it is cooked quickly to seal in its juices. Overcooked beef steak is tough.

Make it special:
Serve with freshly baked crescent dinner rolls. Sprinkle the dough with shredded Parmesan cheese before rolling into crescents for extra flavor.
