Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 ounces Lean flank steak
- 2 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Balsamic vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 clove Minced garlic
- 6 cups Mixed salad greens (such as spinach, arugula, and romaine)
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 medium Cucumber, sliced
- 0.5 small Red onion, thinly sliced
- 1 medium Avocado, sliced
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
Season the flank steak with salt and black pepper on both sides.
In a small bowl, whisk together 1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil, balsamic vinegar, Dijon mustard, and minced garlic to make the vinaigrette.
Brush the grill grates with a little olive oil to prevent sticking. Grill the steak for about 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness is reached.
Remove the steak from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing it thinly against the grain.
In a large salad bowl, combine mixed salad greens, cherry tomatoes, cucumber slices, and red onion.
Drizzle the salad with the prepared vinaigrette and toss gently to coat.
Top the salad with the sliced grilled steak and avocado slices, then serve immediately.
