The other night Seth suggested we make a spicy steak salad-I do the salad and he does the meat. This works well for us when we’re in the kitchen: he’s the meat and I’m the fruits and veggies.
Spicy Steak Salad
- Organic lettuce mix, whatever you prefer
- Diced red onion
- Halved grape tomatoes
- 1 avocado, diced
- Cilantro, chopped, A LOT of cilantro
- Grass fed thin steak, seasoned to your liking
Since we wanted some spice, Seth threw a couple different kinds of pepper in a grinder to get them very fine, then used this dry rub on the steak before grilling [warning, can be very spicy when finely ground!].
I typically use an organic herb lettuce mix, as most times, it contains cilantro (as well as a few other fresh herbs) anyway 🙂 I use kitchen shears to cut lettuce for any salad I make, it just makes it so much easier to eat when you don’t have those big hunks of lettuce that I hate!
I tossed all of the veggies into a bowl and then threw in the cubed, fresh grilled steak, and dressed it in a light olive oil, lemon, and lime juice mixture.
This looks absolutely lovely!
Thank you! It was surprisingly spicy, and full of flavor, but the avocado gave it a nice balance!
