- 1 lb steak (flank, strip, ribeye, or sirloin)
- 4 cups mixed greens (arugula, romaine, spinach)
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 cucumber, sliced
- 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
- 1 bell pepper, sliced
- 1 cup corn kernels, grilled or roasted
- 1 avocado, sliced
- 1/3 cup feta or goat cheese (optional)
- 2 tbsp chopped fresh herbs (parsley, cilantro, or chives)
- For the dressing:
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar or red wine vinegar
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 tsp honey or maple syrup
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Season steak with salt, pepper, and a drizzle of olive oil. Let rest at room temperature for 15 minutes.
- Preheat grill or grill pan to medium-high. Cook steak 4–6 minutes per side or until internal temperature reaches 57–60°C (135–140°F). Rest for 5–10 minutes, then slice thinly against the grain.
- Toss corn, bell pepper, and onion in olive oil, salt, and pepper. Grill or roast for 8–10 minutes until slightly charred and tender.
- In a small bowl, whisk olive oil, vinegar, Dijon mustard, garlic, honey, salt, and pepper to make the dressing.
- Arrange mixed greens in salad bowls. Top with grilled vegetables, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, and avocado slices.
- Add sliced steak and sprinkle with feta or goat cheese and fresh herbs.
- Drizzle dressing over the bowls just before serving.
Notes
- Use any steak cut you prefer, adjusting cooking time accordingly.
- Substitute veggies and cheese based on preference or availability.
- For meal prep, store steak, veggies, and dressing separately.
- Add grains like quinoa or brown rice for more substance.
- Use lemon juice to prevent avocado from browning.
