Marinating and Cooking

  3. Wash and prep the salad ingredients: greens, tomatoes, cucumber, onion, avocado, cheese, radishes, herbs.
  4. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat around 450-500°F (230-260°C).
  5. Grill the steak for 4-6 minutes per side for medium-rare; check with a thermometer.
  6. Let the steak rest for 8-10 minutes before slicing into thin strips.
Assembling the Salad
  1. In a large bowl, mix the salad greens, tomatoes, cucumber, onion, and optional radishes.
  2. Drizzle half the dressing over the salad and toss gently.
  3. Layer sliced steak, avocado, cheese, and herbs on top. Drizzle remaining dressing and optional add-ons.
