Season the beef sirloin steak with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder on both sides. Set aside for 10 minutes to marinate slightly.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the steak for 3–4 minutes per side, or until cooked to your preferred doneness. Let the steak rest for 5 minutes before slicing it thinly against the grain.
While the steak rests, slice the peaches into thin wedges, and finely slice the small red onion. Set both aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together the balsamic vinegar, remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, honey, a pinch of salt, and black pepper to make the dressing.
Combine the baby spinach leaves, mixed salad greens, sliced red onion, and fresh mint leaves in a large salad bowl.
Add the peach wedges and sliced beef to the salad bowl. Toss gently to combine.
Drizzle the balsamic dressing over the salad and toss lightly again to ensure even distribution.
Serve immediately, dividing the salad into four bowls or plates. Enjoy this refreshing and protein-packed meal!
