Ingredients

The following ingredients have 3 Servings
  • 12 ounces top sirloin steak (*)
  • 5 ounce package mixed greens
  • 2 ounces queso fresco (crumbled**)
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes (halved)
  • 1/4 cup sliced red onion
  • 1 avocado (cut into chunks)
  • 1/2 cup toasted pepitas ((pumpkin seeds))
  • 1/4 cup Cilantro Lime Dressing
  • salt
  • black pepper

Instruction

  • Start by searing the steak per these instructions for How to Sear a Steak or grill your beef with the method in Grilled Ribeye or Grilled Flank Steak. Spice the steak if you wish, but it's not required. I have a mole seasoning I like to rub on the outside of the steak, but you can also just do salt and pepper since there's so much flavor in the salad. For 12 ounces of steak, I recommend 3/4 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper, assuming you're not adding seasoning that already includes salt.
  • Once the steak has been seared, let it rest for 5 minutes, then slice thinly.
  • In a large bowl, toss to combine the remaining ingredients.
  • Taste and see if it needs more dressing or any adjustments. Serve immediately.
