Remove the ribeye steak from the refrigerator and let it come to room temperature for about 30 minutes before grilling.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Season the steak with 1 teaspoon of salt and 0.5 teaspoon of black pepper on both sides.
Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the steak and rub it in to coat evenly.
Place the steak on the grill and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until your desired level of doneness is achieved.
Once cooked, remove the steak from the grill and let it rest for about 5-10 minutes.
While the steak is resting, prepare the salad base by adding 8 cups of mixed salad greens, 1 cup of halved cherry tomatoes, half a sliced red onion, and 1 peeled and sliced avocado to a large salad bowl.
To prepare the balsamic vinaigrette, whisk together 3 tablespoons of balsamic vinegar, 1 teaspoon of Dijon mustard, 1 teaspoon of honey, 1 minced garlic clove, and the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a small bowl.
Slice the rested steak into thin slices and arrange over the prepared salad.
Sprinkle 0.5 cup of crumbled feta cheese over the salad.
Drizzle the balsamic vinaigrette over the top of the salad.
Toss gently to combine just before serving and enjoy your Grilled Steak Salad!
