Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams beef steak (sirloin or flank)
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 cups mixed salad greens
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 medium cucumber, sliced thinly
- 0.5 medium red onion, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and 2 minced garlic cloves to make a marinade.
Place the beef steak in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over it. Let the steak marinate for at least 10 minutes, or up to 30 minutes for more flavor.
While the steak marinates, prepare the salad. In a large bowl, combine 4 cups of mixed salad greens, 1 cup of halved cherry tomatoes, 1 medium cucumber (thinly sliced), and 1/2 medium red onion (thinly sliced). Set aside.
In another small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons of lime juice, 1 teaspoon of honey, 1 teaspoon of sesame oil, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper to make the dressing.
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil and swirl to coat the pan.
Remove the steak from the marinade and pat it dry with paper towels. Cook the steak in the hot skillet for 3-4 minutes per side, or until it reaches your desired doneness.
Transfer the cooked steak to a cutting board and let it rest for 5 minutes to retain its juices.
Thinly slice the rested steak against the grain into strips.
Drizzle the prepared dressing over the salad and toss gently to coat.
Top the salad with the sliced steak. Serve immediately while the beef is still warm.
