Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients

10 ounce grilling steak (boneless prime rib)
½ teaspoon EACH: salt and pepper
1 teaspoon avocado oil
4 ounces arugula
1 cup cherry tomatoes (cut in half)
½ English cucumber (diced)
½ avocado (sliced)
¼ cup thinly sliced red onions
½ tablespoon EACH: grainy mustard, dijon mustard, and balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons olive oil
A pinch of salt and pepper

Steps:

Take the steak out of your fridge and evenly coat both sides with the salt and pepper. Add all the salad ingredients to a salad bowl.
Heat a cast iron or heavy-bottomed pan over high heat. Drizzle the avocado oil over both sides of the steak. When the pan starts to smoke, add the steak and let it cook undisturbed for 2 minutes. Flip the steak over and let it cook for 2-3 minutes more. Transfer the steak to a cutting board and let it rest.
While the steak is resting, whisk the salad dressing ingredients in a small bowl. Thin the dressing with up to a tablespoon of water, as needed. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss.
Thinly slice the steak across the grain and serve it over the salad.

EMERGENCY STEAK

Emergency Steak image

This is a recipe from the family cookbook. DH loves it and it's really simple! I am estimating on the oil for frying. Use your own judgement. You can add spices to the egg mixture if you want. I usually just add salt, pepper and paprika. I sometimes prepare a country gravy to go over these.
