This Steak Salad is hearty enough to serve as the full meal for lunch or dinner, and has tons of flavor. 

Ingredients

  • 12 ounces top sirloin steak
  • 5 ounce package mixed greens
  • 2 ounces queso fresco crumbled*
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes halved
  • 1/4 cup sliced red onion
  • 1 avocado cut into chunks
  • 1/2 cup toasted pepitas
  • 1/4 cup Cilantro Lime Dressing

Instructions

  • Start by searing the steak per these instructions for Pan Seared Steak. I have a mole seasoning I like to rub on the outside of the steak, but you can also just do salt and pepper since there's so much flavor in the salad.
  • Once the steak has been seared, let it rest for 5 minutes, then slice thinly.
  • In a large bowl, toss to combine the remaining ingredients.
  • Taste and see if it needs more dressing or any adjustments. Serve immediately.

Notes

*You can also use queso blanco or cotija cheese.
