A hearty and nutritious salad featuring tender grilled steak, roasted sweet potatoes, fresh greens, and a zesty dressing.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb flank or skirt steak
  • 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 4 cups mixed greens
  • 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup feta cheese, crumbled
  • 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 1/4 cup olive oil (for dressing)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Toss sweet potato cubes with olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 25–30 minutes until tender.
  2. Season the steak with salt and pepper. Grill or pan-sear over medium-high heat for 4–5 minutes per side, or until desired doneness.
  3. Let the steak rest for 5 minutes, then slice against the grain.
  4. In a bowl, whisk together balsamic vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey, and olive oil to make the dressing.
  5. Assemble the salad by layering greens, roasted sweet potatoes, tomatoes, and red onions.
  6. Top with sliced steak and crumbled feta.
  7. Drizzle with dressing and serve immediately.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, marinate the steak for at least 30 minutes before cooking.
  • Substitute goat cheese or blue cheese for a different flavor profile.
  • Add avocado for creaminess.
