Ingredients
  

Balsamic Vinaigrette

  • 0.25 cup balsamic vinegar
  • 2 teaspoons dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon mayonnaise optional
  • 0.5 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
  • 0.5 cup extra-virgin olive oil

Steak Salad

  • 1 pound flank steak or flat iron steak
  • kosher salt for seasoning
  • black pepper for seasoning
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 cups arugula
  • 4 cups romaine lettuce 1 inch pieces
  • 2 cups radicchio 1 inch pieces
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes cut in half
  • 0.5 cup cucumber thinly sliced
  • 0.25 cup radish thinly sliced
  • 0.25 cup red onion diced
  • 1 medium avocado sliced or diced
  • 0.25 cup feta cheese

Instructions
 

Balsamic Vinaigrette

  • In a medium bowl, whisk together vinegar, mustard, mayonnaise, salt, and pepper. Slowly drizzle in the olive oil and whisk until it becomes a thickened emulsified dressing. Set aside.

Steak Preparation

  • Dry the surface of the steak with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
  • Heat a large cast-iron skillet over high heat until hot. Add the oil. Once the oil is hot, add the steak and press it down into the pan. Cook until the surface is browned, 4 minutes. Flip the steak and cook until it reaches an internal temperature of 120 to 125°F (49 to 52ºC) on a meat thermometer for medium-rare, about 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Transfer the steak to a cutting board and rest for 10 minutes. Slice the steak against the grain into ¼-inch thick pieces. Cut smaller if desired.

Salad Assembly

  • In a large serving bowl mix together the arugula, romaine, and radicchio. Top salad with tomatoes, cucumber, radish, onion, steak, avocado, and feta cheese.
  • Serve steak salad with balsamic vinaigrette.

Notes

Store the salad in an airtight container for up to 2 days. Refrigerate the dressing in a separate container for up to 3 days, mixing before serving.
