Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Steak

    Season the steak with salt and pepper. Grill or pan-sear over medium-high heat for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until it reaches your desired doneness. Let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Vegetables and Fruits

    While the steak is resting, prepare the salad ingredients. Wash and dry the baby spinach, slice the strawberries, cucumber, tomato, and red onion.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Salad

    In a large bowl, combine the baby spinach, sliced strawberries, cucumber, tomato, red onion, and diced avocado. Toss gently to mix.

  4. 4

    Add the Steak

    Slice the rested steak thinly and arrange it on top of the salad.

  5. 5

    Add the Toppings

    Sprinkle the candied pecans and crumbled gorgonzola cheese over the salad.

  6. 6

    Dress the Salad

    Drizzle with maple balsamic vinaigrette to taste and toss gently to combine.
