Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 piece (12 oz) ribeye steak
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 6 cups mixed baby greens
- 1.5 cups cherry tomatoes
- 0.5 medium (thinly sliced) red onion
- 1 medium (sliced) avocado
- 0.5 cup (chopped) cilantro
- 2 small red chili peppers
- 4 large garlic cloves
- 1 medium (juiced) lime
- 1 teaspoon white vinegar
- 1 teaspoon honey
Instructions
Remove the ribeye steak from the refrigerator 30 minutes before cooking to bring it to room temperature.
Season the steak generously with 1 teaspoon kosher salt and 0.5 teaspoon black pepper on both sides.
Heat a large skillet or grill pan over high heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
Once the skillet is hot, sear the steak for 3-4 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or cook to your preferred doneness.
Remove the steak from the skillet, transfer it to a cutting board, and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
While the steak rests, prepare the spicy garlic salsa: Combine 2 red chili peppers, 4 garlic cloves, 3 tablespoons olive oil, the juice of 1 lime, 1 teaspoon white vinegar, and 1 teaspoon honey in a food processor. Blend until smooth and set aside.
In a large salad bowl, add 6 cups of mixed baby greens, 1.5 cups of halved cherry tomatoes, 0.5 medium red onion (thinly sliced), 1 sliced avocado, and 0.5 cup chopped cilantro.
Slice the steak into thin strips and add it to the salad bowl on top of the greens and vegetables.
Drizzle the spicy garlic salsa over the steak and salad ingredients.
Toss lightly to combine and serve immediately for a fresh and flavorful meal.
