Ingredients

• 1 pound ribeye steak (or your preferred cut)
• 6 cups mixed greens (such as arugula, spinach, and romaine)
• 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
• 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese (optional)

How to Make Grilled Steak Salad

1. Start by preheating your grill to medium-high heat. If using a grill pan, heat it over medium-high on the stovetop.
2. While the grill is heating, season the ribeye steak with salt, pepper, and garlic powder (if using). Ensure both sides are well coated.
3. Place the steak on the grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until your desired doneness is reached. Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness; 130°F for medium-rare is recommended.
4. Once cooked, remove the steak from the grill and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
5. In a large bowl, combine the mixed greens and halved cherry tomatoes.
6. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Drizzle over the salad and toss to combine.
7. Slice the rested steak against the grain into thin strips and place it on top of the salad.
8. If desired, sprinkle crumbled feta cheese over the salad before serving.

Tips for the Best Results

• Let your steak rest after grilling to retain its juices and enhance flavor.
• Use a sharp knife to slice the steak against the grain for maximum tenderness.
• Feel free to adjust the seasoning to your taste; adding fresh herbs can elevate the flavor even further.

Easy Variations

• Swap the ribeye for grilled chicken or shrimp for a different protein option.
• Add sliced avocado or cucumber for extra freshness and creaminess.
• Incorporate roasted vegetables like bell peppers or zucchini for added texture and flavor.

What to Serve With It

• Crusty whole-grain bread or baguette
• A light soup, like tomato basil or gazpacho
• Grilled corn on the cob for a seasonal side
• A refreshing fruit salad for dessert

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat the steak, warm it gently in a skillet over low heat to avoid overcooking. The salad greens should be enjoyed fresh, so consider storing them separately from the steak.
