Directions

Step 1

Season the beef sirloin steak with 1 teaspoon of salt and 0.5 teaspoons of black pepper on both sides.

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the steak and sear for 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare, or cook to your preferred doneness.

Cut the avocado into thin slices and finely slice the red onion into thin rings.

Step 6

In a small bowl, whisk together 1 tablespoon of olive oil, balsamic vinegar, honey, and Dijon mustard to make the dressing.

Step 7

In a large serving bowl, combine the mixed salad greens, citrus segments, pomegranate arils, avocado slices, and red onion. Toss gently to mix.

Step 8

Top the salad with the sliced beef and drizzle the dressing over the top.
