Ingredients

• 1 pound Sirloin steak
• 2 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
• 2 units Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tablespoon Fresh rosemary, chopped
• 1 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Kosher salt
• 4 cups Baby spinach leaves
• 1 cup Cherry tomatoes, halved
• 0.5 cup Red onion, thinly sliced
• 1 tablespoon Balsamic vinegar

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, rosemary, black pepper, and salt to create a marinade.

Step 2

Place the sirloin steak in a shallow dish or resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the steak, ensuring it is evenly coated. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.

Step 3

Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.

Step 4

Remove the steak from the marinade, allowing excess to drip off, and place it on the grill. Cook for approximately 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or adjust timing to your desired doneness.

Step 5

Once cooked, remove the steak from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

Step 6

While the steak is resting, prepare the salad by combining baby spinach, cherry tomatoes, and red onion in a large bowl.

Step 7

Drizzle the salad with balsamic vinegar and toss to coat.

Step 8

Slice the steak against the grain and serve with the fresh salad on the side.
