Description
A fresh and flavorful grilled steak salad featuring avocado and blue cheese, perfect for a light meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound flank steak
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 6 cups mixed salad greens (such as arugula, spinach, and romaine)
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 avocado, diced
- 1/2 cup crumbled blue cheese
- 1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup balsamic vinaigrette
Instructions
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
- Rub the flank steak with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
- Place the steak on the grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness. Remove from the grill and let it rest for 5-10 minutes.
- While the steak is resting, prepare the salad. In a large bowl, combine the mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, avocado, blue cheese, and red onion.
- Slice the rested steak against the grain into thin strips.
- Top the salad with the sliced steak and drizzle with balsamic vinaigrette. Toss gently to combine.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
Notes
- For added crunch, toss in some toasted walnuts or pecans.
- If you prefer a different cheese, feta or goat cheese can be great substitutes for blue cheese.
