Method

Salad Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Salad Base

    In a large salad bowl, combine the chopped romaine lettuce, halved cherry tomatoes, thinly sliced red onion, diced avocado, chopped cilantro, corn, and black beans.

  2. 2

    Add Lime Juice

    Squeeze the juice of one lime over the salad mixture and toss gently to combine.

Carne Asada Preparation

  1. 3

    Marinate the Steak

    In a bowl, mix together olive oil, minced garlic, lime juice, cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Add the flank steak and ensure it is well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, preferably overnight.

  2. 4

    Cook the Steak

    Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the steak from the marinade and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until it reaches the desired doneness. Let the steak rest for 5 minutes before slicing thinly against the grain.

Dressing Preparation

  1. 5

    Make the Dressing

    In a small bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, lime juice, honey, chopped cilantro, salt, and black pepper until smooth. Adjust seasoning to taste.

Assembly

    Assemble the Salad

    Add the sliced carne asada to the salad base. Drizzle with the prepared dressing and toss gently to combine.

  2. 7

    Serve

    Serve immediately, garnished with additional lime wedges if desired.
