Salad Ingredients

Marinated Beef Ingredients

Vinaigrette Dressing Ingredients

Method

Marinate the Beef

  1. 1

    Prepare Marinade

    In a bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons of olive oil, soy sauce, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper.

  2. 2

    Marinate Beef

    Place the beef steak in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the steak, ensuring it is well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.

Cook the Beef

  1. 3

    Grill the Steak

    Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Remove the steak from the marinade and discard the marinade.

  2. 4

    Cooking Time

    Grill the steak for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until it reaches your desired level of doneness. Let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

Prepare the Salad

  1. 5

    Chop Vegetables

    While the steak is resting, thinly slice the red onion and chop the cherry peppers. If using whole olives, slice them in half or leave them whole.

  2. 6

    Mix Greens

    In a large bowl, combine the mixed greens, sliced red onion, cherry peppers, and olives.

Make the Vinaigrette Dressing

  1. 7

    Combine Dressing Ingredients

    In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tablespoons of olive oil, balsamic vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey, salt, and black pepper until emulsified.

Assemble the Salad

  1. 8

    Slice the Steak

    After the steak has rested, slice it thinly against the grain.

  2. 9

    Toss Salad

    Add the sliced steak to the mixed greens and drizzle with the vinaigrette dressing. Toss gently to combine.

  3. 10

    Serve

    Serve immediately on plates, garnished with additional olives or cherry peppers if desired.
