For the Dressing
  • 2 tbsp Olive oil Helps to bind the ingredients.
  • 2 tbsp Balsamic vinegar Adds depth of flavor.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your grill or skillet over medium-high heat.
  2. Season the steak with salt and pepper on both sides.
  3. Cook the steak for about 4-5 minutes per side until desired doneness is reached.
  4. Once cooked, remove the steak and let it rest for at least 5 minutes.
Salad Assembly
  1. Combine mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, sliced cucumber, and red onion in a large bowl.
  2. Slice the rested steak thinly against the grain.
  3. Add the steak and diced avocado to the salad.

Notes

Use a meat thermometer for perfect steak doneness. Marinating steak can enhance flavor. Prep veggies in advance to save time. Avoid overcooking for the best texture.
