Candied Walnuts Steak Salad Recipe

Preparation Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Candied Walnuts

   In a skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add sugar, walnuts, cinnamon, and salt. Cook until the sugar caramelizes and walnuts are toasted, about 5-7 minutes. Stir frequently to prevent burning. Transfer to parchment paper to cool.

2. 2

   Cook the Steak

   Season the steak with olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Heat a grill or skillet over high heat. Cook the steak for 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or to your desired doneness. Let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

3. 3

   Prepare the Salad

   In a large bowl, combine mixed salad greens, cherry tomatoes halved, diced cucumber, and thinly sliced red onion. Toss to combine.

4. 4

   Make the Dressing

   In a small bowl, whisk together balsamic vinegar, olive oil, honey, salt, and black pepper until emulsified.

5. 5

   Assemble the Salad

   Slice the rested steak and place it on top of the salad. Drizzle with dressing and top with candied walnuts and crumbled feta cheese. Serve immediately.
