Grilled Steak Salad
Ingredients
Steak Marinade
- 1 medium sized Lemon juiced
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tsp Mariposa Farms Dried Chipolte Peppers crushed / flaked Optional
- 1 lb skirt steak or flank steak
Dressing
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 1 medium shallot minced Optional
- 1/4 cup fresh Mariposa Farms Basil chopped
Salad
- 4 cups fresh Mariposa Farms Arugula
- 2 cups cherry tomatoes
- 1 avocado sliced
- 1-2 ozs goat cheese or blue cheese crumbled
Instructions
Marinate and Cook the steak
- Mix lemon juice with the rest of the marinade ingredients until well blended. Pour marinade on steak in a marinating pan, let sit for at least 1 hour, flipping half way through.
- Heat the grill to high. Add steak after the grill has reached operating temperature. It should take 4-5 minutes per side for a medium-rare steak. Place on a cutting board, cover with foil to rest for 5-8 minutes before slicing.
Dressing
- Mix the olive oil, dijon mustard and balsamic vinegar until well blended. Add the shallots and basil, mix thoroughly.
Salad
- In a large glass bowl, toss the arugula, tomatoes and avocado. Slice and add the steak (be sure to slice the steak across the grain).
- Pour dressing over the salad and mix well. Garnish with crumbled goat or blue cheese. Season with sea salt and freshly cracked pepper if desired before serving.
