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.

Tips:

Choose high-quality steak for best taste and tenderness. Look for well-marbled cuts, such as ribeye, strip loin, or tenderloin.
Season the steak generously with salt and pepper before cooking. This will help to enhance the natural flavors of the meat.
Cook the steak to your desired doneness. For a medium-rare steak, cook for about 4-5 minutes per side over medium-high heat.
Let the steak rest for a few minutes before slicing. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful steak.
Make sure to use a sharp knife to slice the steak against the grain. This will help to prevent the meat from becoming tough.
Serve the steak salad immediately, while the steak is still warm. The warm steak will help to wilt the greens slightly, making them more tender and flavorful.

Conclusion:

This steak salad with balsamic dressing is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for any occasion. The tender steak, fresh greens, and tangy balsamic dressing come together to create a dish that is both flavorful and satisfying. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy meal, give this steak salad a try. You won't be disappointed!
