Grilled Steak Salad image

I made up this yummy salad by combining a few I found here on 'Zaar with my every day salad. This is a satisfying and healthy main dish salad. Very tasty with grilled baguette. Don't let the long list of ingredients scare you; it goes together in a flash.

Time 35m

Yield 2-3 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 20

3/4 lb flank steak
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 red pepper
1/2 head red leaf lettuce
1/4 cup pecans, toasted
20 grape tomatoes
1/4 cup feta cheese
1/2 cup cucumber, cut into bite-sized pieces
2 tablespoons fresh basil, chopped
2 tablespoons of fresh mint, chopped
5 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon sugar
1 dash cinnamon (optional)
salt & pepper

Steps:

  • First, make a rub for the steak, using the oregano, ground cinnamon, garlic, salt, and pepper. Mix in a small amount of oil so it adheres to flank steak. Grill flank steak 5 minutes per side for rare. Cook pepper approximately 10 minutes, turning to cook evenly. Remove from grill and allow pepper and steak to sit for 5 minutes before slicing. Cut steak and pepper into strips.
  • While steak is cooking, prepare salad by mixing lettuce, pecans, grape tomatoes, cucumbers, feta cheese, mint and basil.
  • For vinaigrette, whisk together balsamic vinegar, olive oil, mustard, sugar, salt and pepper to taste, and a dash of cinnamon (if desired).
  • To assemble salad, arrange lettuce mixture in large bowl or on individual serving platters. Top each with equal amounts of pepper and flank steak. Drizzle with vinaigrette.
