Ingredients
- 1 pound Lean flank steak
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 6 cups Mixed salad greens
- 1 medium Cucumber
- 1 pint Cherry tomatoes
- 0.5 medium Red onion
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

Instructions
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
Rub the flank steak with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt, pepper, and garlic powder evenly on both sides.
Place the steak on the grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until your desired doneness.
Remove the steak from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing thinly against the grain.
While the steak is resting, prepare the salad vegetables by slicing the cucumber, halving the cherry tomatoes, and thinly slicing the red onion.
In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, remaining tablespoon of olive oil, Dijon mustard, and honey to create the dressing.
In a large salad bowl, combine the mixed salad greens, cucumbers, cherry tomatoes, and red onion.
Add the thinly sliced grilled steak on top of the salad.
Drizzle the dressing over the entire salad and toss gently to combine.
Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious low fat grilled steak salad.
