Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 oz flank steak or sirloin
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • 4 cups mixed salad greens
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/2 cucumber, sliced
  • 1/4 red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise

  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon honey
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (for dressing)

Instructions

  1. Brush the steak with olive oil and season generously with salt and black pepper.
  2. Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat.
  3. Cook the steak for 3–5 minutes per side, depending on thickness and desired doneness.
  4. Remove steak from heat and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing thinly against the grain.
  5. In a large bowl, arrange salad greens, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, and red onion.
  6. In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sour cream, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, honey, and olive oil until smooth.
  7. Top the salad with sliced steak.
  8. Drizzle creamy dressing over the salad and serve immediately.

Notes

  • You can substitute yogurt for sour cream for a lighter dressing.
  • Add avocado or blue cheese for extra richness.
