Mom really knows how to start the week off right! She always makes what we call Mom's Sunday Steak Salad for lunch and it's always such a hit. How could it not be when there's steak involved?! Juicy, tender, smooth-like-butter steak! It's pure yum. Plus, she serves it atop the freshest salad and drizzles it with the same herby, tangy, creamy concoction she smothers all over the sirloins. Double yum! Our weeks always start off on a high note thanks to Mom's Sunday Steak Salad. She's the best!
