Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb sirloin or flank steak
  • 4 cups mixed salad greens
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 cucumber, sliced
  • 1/4 red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 avocado, sliced (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Prepare the balsamic dressing by whisking olive oil, balsamic vinegar, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper in a bowl.
  2. Place the steak in a shallow dish and coat it with a portion of the dressing to marinate.
  3. Allow the steak to marinate for 20–30 minutes.
  4. Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
  5. Grill the steak for about 4–6 minutes per side depending on thickness.
  6. Remove the steak from the grill and let it rest for about 5 minutes.
  7. Arrange mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, and onion in a large bowl.
  8. Slice the steak thinly against the grain.
  9. Place the sliced steak on top of the salad.
  10. Drizzle the remaining balsamic dressing over the salad and serve.

Notes

  • Let the steak rest before slicing to keep it juicy.
  • Slice the steak against the grain for tender pieces.
  • Use fresh greens such as arugula, spinach, or mixed lettuce for best flavor.
  • You can add toppings like avocado, nuts, or cheese for extra texture.
  • Store leftover steak and salad separately for better freshness.
