Description
A hearty, fresh salad featuring juicy seared steak, soft mozzarella, bright cherry tomatoes, earthy mushrooms, and a tangy balsamic dressing.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb steak (such as sirloin or ribeye)
- 2 cups mixed greens
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 cup fresh mozzarella balls
- 1 cup mushrooms, sliced
- 1/4 cup fresh basil, chopped
- 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Season the steak on both sides with salt and pepper. Rinse and pat dry the mixed greens. Halve the cherry tomatoes, slice the mushrooms, and drain the mozzarella if necessary. Chop the basil.
- In a large bowl, combine the mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, mozzarella, and mushrooms. Toss gently and keep chilled.
- Grill or sear the steak to desired doneness. For medium-rare, sear for 3-4 minutes per side. Let the steak rest for a few minutes before slicing thinly across the grain.
- In a small bowl, whisk together balsamic vinegar, olive oil, salt, and pepper to make the dressing. Add sliced steak to the salad, drizzle with dressing, and garnish with basil. Serve immediately.
