Heat a large skillet over medium heat; add olive oil; when hot, add beef, garlic, salt and pepper. Break the mixture apart; cook until browned, stirring and breaking pieces into crumbles, for about 6-8 minutes. Turn off heat; sprinkle 2 oz. cheese over beef so it slightly melts. This salad can be served with the beef hot or room temperature.
Dill Pickled Vinaigrette:
In a bowl, whisk together pickles, pickle juice, shallot, garlic, mustard and honey; add a pinch of salt and pepper; whisk until mixture comes together. While whisking, stream in olive oil until dressing emulsifies. Dressing stays great in the refrigerator for a few days.
Chop butter lettuce into pieces, trying to chop into uniform pieces; place in a bowl with a pinch of salt and pepper; toss well. Add tomatoes, dill pickles, onion and remaining shredded cheese. Toss; drizzle on the dressing.
Serve.
