Grilled Flank Steak Spinach Salad
This is a dinner that you can prepare ahead of time. It makes a light dish to serve on a summer day. I recommend serving this salad with a balsamic vinegarette dressing
Ingredients
- 1 pound flank steak
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp. granular onion
- 1 tsp. dried oregano
- dash sea salt and pepper
- ¼ cup olive oil
- 2 Tbsp. balsamic vinegar
- 1 red onion, sliced
- 8 cups baby spinach, rinsed and patted dry
- 1 cup halved grape tomatoes
- 1 cup sliced fresh mushrooms
- ¼ cup slivered almonds
Instructions
- Mix together garlic, onion, oregano, sea salt, pepper, olive oil, and balsamic vinegar in a bowl.
- Place the flank steak in a gallon-sized reclosable plastic bag and pour the dressing mixture over it.
- Seal the bag and marinate overnight.
- The next day, drain the marinade from the bag and discard.
- Grill the steak to the desired temperature.
- Once the steak is finished cooking, allow it to rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing across the grain of the meat.
- Toss together remaining ingredients, then lay steak slices on top of the salad.
- Serve with cheesy garlic bread.
Notes
You can always substitute sirloin steak or a different cut of beef.
