Instructions

For the vinaigrette

  • Mix all ingredients in a mixing bowl and set aside

For the Steak

  • Season steak with salt and pepper
  • Place in a large ziplock bag and add the lime juice.
  • Refrigerate for 30 minutes to an hour
  • Remove from refrigerator and let steak reach room temperature.
  • With a paper towel pat dry the steak.
  • Heat grill or grill pan on high heat
  • Add steak and grill 3-4 minutes each side.
  • Remove steak from heat and let rest 10-15 minutes. Feel free to leave covered with aluminum foil to retain heat.
  • Slice the steak across the grain at a steep angle

For the Salad

  • Toss the baby spinach, tomatoes, and celery with the vinaigrette.
  • Add salad mix to each bowl and top each with steak
  • Top with your choice of cheese.
  • Serve

Notes

  • If grilling the steak then make sure to pat it dry first to avoid flare-ups
  • Season the steak well.
  • The steak will likely curl at the center making it difficult for it to cook evenly. The solution is to press down with a spatula and hold with steady pressure for the first minute of cooking
  • Let the steak rest a minimum of 5 minutes after cooking. If you cut into the steak and those juices leak out all over your cutting board, it means you cut the steak too early.
  • Slice steak across the grain for most tender results
