Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Ribeye or sirloin steak
- 1 tsp Salt
- 2 tbsp Coarsely ground black pepper
- 4 tbsp Olive oil
- 1 unit Ripe mango, diced
- 1 unit Avocado, diced
- 6 oz Mixed greens (arugula, spinach, etc.)
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 unit Jalapeño, seeded and minced
- 1 unit Lime, juiced
- 1 tsp Honey
- 2 tbsp White wine vinegar
- 2 tbsp Cilantro, chopped
Instructions
1. Remove the steak from the refrigerator and let it come to room temperature (about 20 minutes). Pat dry with paper towels.
2. Season both sides of the steak with salt and press the coarsely ground black pepper into the surface of the meat to form a crust.
3. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the steak to the skillet.
4. Sear the steak for 3-4 minutes on each side for medium-rare (or longer for desired doneness). Remove from the skillet and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing thinly against the grain.
5. While the steak rests, prepare the jalapeño vinaigrette. In a small bowl, combine the minced jalapeño, lime juice, honey, white wine vinegar, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, and chopped cilantro. Whisk until emulsified. Adjust seasoning with a pinch of salt if needed.
6. In a large salad bowl, combine the mixed greens, diced mango, diced avocado, and halved cherry tomatoes.
7. Arrange the thinly sliced steak on top of the salad. Drizzle the jalapeño vinaigrette over the entire salad and toss lightly to coat.
8. Serve immediately and enjoy the refreshing combination of flavors!
