Ingredients

• 1 pound Ribeye or sirloin steak
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 6 cups Mixed greens
• 1 cup Cherry tomatoes, halved
• 1 Cucumber, sliced
• 3 Radishes, thinly sliced
• 1 cup Edamame (shelled)
• 1 cup Fresh cilantro leaves
• 1 Garlic clove, minced
• 2 tablespoons Lime juice
• 1 teaspoon Honey
• 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons Water
• 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
• 2 tablespoons Almonds or cashews (optional, for topping)

Directions

Step 1

Pat the steak dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt and black pepper.

Step 2

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, sear the steak for 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until it reaches your desired level of doneness.

Step 3

Remove the steak from the skillet, place it on a cutting board, and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing against the grain into thin strips.

Step 4

While the steak rests, prepare the greens by arranging the mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, and radishes on a large serving platter or individual plates.

Step 5

To make the cilantro edamame dressing, add the edamame, cilantro leaves, minced garlic, lime juice, honey, soy sauce, water, sesame oil, and remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil to a blender or food processor.

Step 6

Blend the dressing until smooth, adding a bit more water if needed to reach your desired consistency. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.

Step 7

Drizzle the dressing over the salad and gently toss to coat.

Step 8

Top the salad with the sliced steak and, if desired, sprinkle with chopped almonds or cashews for an added crunch.

Step 9

Serve immediately and enjoy your Seared Steak Salad with Edamame Cilantro Dressing!
