Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound flank steak
- 6 cups baby spinach
- 1 cup grape tomatoes
- 0.5 red onion
- 0.5 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 1 clove garlic
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil for cooking
Instructions
Preheat a grill or cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat.
Rub the flank steak with 1 tablespoon of olive oil for cooking and season generously with salt and black pepper on both sides.
Grill the steak for about 5-6 minutes per side for medium-rare, or adjust the cooking time to your preferred doneness. Use a meat thermometer to ensure it reaches 135°F for medium-rare.
Remove the steak from the grill and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing thinly against the grain.
While the steak is resting, prepare the dressing by whisking together the extra virgin olive oil, balsamic vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey, minced garlic, salt, and pepper in a small bowl.
In a large salad bowl, combine the baby spinach, halved grape tomatoes, thinly sliced red onion, and crumbled feta cheese.
Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss until evenly coated.
Arrange the thinly sliced steak on top of the salad.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Flank Steak Spinach Salad!
