Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 piece (10-12 oz) Ribeye steak
- 4 cups Baby spinach
- 2 tablespoons Sesame seeds
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
- 0.25 piece (small) Red onion
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 1 clove Garlic
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil
Instructions
Season the ribeye steak with salt and black pepper on both sides. Let it sit at room temperature for 10 minutes.
While the steak is resting, prepare the dressing by whisking together soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, minced garlic, and 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a small bowl.
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add the vegetable oil. Once hot, sear the steak for 3-4 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or cook to your desired doneness.
Remove the steak from the skillet and let it rest for 5 minutes, then slice thinly against the grain.
Toast the sesame seeds in a dry skillet over medium heat for 1-2 minutes until lightly golden and fragrant, then set aside.
In a large salad bowl, combine the baby spinach, halved cherry tomatoes, and thinly sliced red onion.
Drizzle 2 tablespoons of olive oil over the salad and toss to coat evenly.
Top the salad with the sliced steak and sprinkle the toasted sesame seeds on top.
Drizzle the sesame dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine just before serving.
Serve immediately and enjoy your hearty Steak Spinach Sesame Salad.
