Ingredients:
1 lb flank steak
1 tablespoon olive oil
Salt and pepper, to taste
6 cups mixed salad greens (arugula, spinach, romaine)
1 ripe avocado, diced
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
1/4 cup feta cheese, crumbled (optional)
1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
Juice of 1 lime
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon honey (optional)
Instructions:
1. Season and Rest the Steak:
Rub the flank steak with olive oil, salt, and pepper for an extra juicy finish.
Let it rest at room temperature for 15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
2. Grill the Steak:
Heat your grill or grill pan to medium-high.
Grill the steak for 5-7 minutes per side for a perfect medium-rare; adjust for your preference.
Remove, cover, and let the steak rest for 5 minutes before slicing to keep it tender.
3. Assemble the Salad:
In a large bowl, combine salad greens, diced avocado, cherry tomatoes, red onion, and feta cheese (if desired). Toss lightly.
4. Whisk the Dressing:
In a small bowl, whisk lime juice, balsamic vinegar, honey (if using), and season with salt and pepper. This dressing brings a zesty touch to the salad.
5. Combine and Serve:
Thinly slice the rested steak against the grain.
Add it to the salad and drizzle with the lime balsamic dressing. Gently toss and garnish with fresh cilantro.
