Ingredients

The following ingredients have 2 Servings
  • 10-12 oz sirloin steak
  • olive oil or avocado oil (as needed)
  • salt and pepper (to taste)
  • 4-6 oz looseleaf lettuce (washed and chopped*)
  • 8-10 oz fresh strawberries (as many as you'd like!)
  • 1 large avocado**
  • 2-3 tsp sweet balsamic glaze ((optional but delicious!))
  • 1/4 cup quality extra virgin olive oil
  • 2-3 TBSP balsamic vinegar (extra to taste)
  • 1 TBSP red wine vinegar
  • 1 TBSP dijon mustard
  • 1 tsp honey
  • 1 clove garlic (smashed and minced)
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper

Instruction

  • Pre-heat oven to 425 degrees F.
  • Pat steaks dry and season with salt and pepper on both sides. For best results, allow steak to come to room temperature before cooking. 
  • Heat a drizzle of oil in a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Add to pan and sear until browned, approx. 2 minutes for the first side and 1 minute for the second side.
  • Using a potholder, place skillet, steaks and all, in the oven for 2-3 minutes, or until desired internal temperature is reached.  If using steaks larger than 6 oz each, adjust times as needed.
  • Remove from oven (potholder! grab one!) and place steaks on a plate. Cover with foil and allow to rest for 10-15 minutes. Resting is crucial for a juicy steak and gives us ample time to make our salad and dressing!
  • Chop your lettuce, strawberries, and avocado. Drizzle avocado with lime juice and/or oil to keep things gorgeously green.
  • Combine dressing ingredients in a mason jar and shake well. Feel free to adjust levels of balsamic and honey to taste. The above measurements are my dream combo!
  • Once rested, thinly slice your steak into bite-sized pieces. Toss together greens, berries, and avocado then top with your steak. Drizzle with a little of the dressing and dive in!
