Delicious Garlic Butter Steak Salad Bowl

This salad bowl features perfectly seared steak tossed with tender greens, cherry tomatoes, and creamy avocado, all drizzled with a rich garlic butter dressing. The recipe is simple and takes about 30 minutes to prepare, serving 4 people.

Ingredients

1 lb flank steak or sirloin
2 tablespoons butter
3 cloves garlic minced
1 teaspoon salt adjust to taste
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
6 cups mixed salad greens (e.g., spinach, arugula)
1 cup cherry tomatoes halved
1 avocado sliced
1/4 cup red onion thinly sliced
1/4 cup blue cheese crumbled (optional)
Balsamic vinaigrette or dressing of choice for drizzling

Instructions

Cook the Steak: Season the steak with salt and pepper. In a skillet over medium-high heat, melt the butter and add minced garlic. Sear the steak for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or cook to your desired doneness. Remove it from the skillet and allow it to rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
Prepare the Salad: In a large bowl, combine the mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, avocado, and red onion.
Slice the Steak: Once the steak has rested, slice it thinly against the grain.

Assemble the Salad Bowl: Top the salad with the sliced steak and sprinkle with blue cheese if using. Drizzle with balsamic vinaigrette or your preferred dressing.
Serve: Toss gently and serve immediately for the best flavor and freshness.
