Ingredients

• 1 piece (about 8-10 oz) Ribeye steak
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 head Romaine lettuce
• 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
• 1 medium Cucumber
• 0.5 medium Red onion
• 0.5 cup (crumbled) Feta cheese
• 2 tablespoons Balsamic vinegar
• 1 teaspoon Honey
• 1 clove (minced) Garlic

Directions

Step 1

Take the ribeye steak out of the refrigerator and let it rest at room temperature for 20 minutes before cooking.

Step 2

Rub the steak with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and black pepper on both sides.

Step 3

Heat a skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the steak and cook for 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare, or adjust the cooking time for your preferred doneness.

Step 4

Remove the steak from the skillet and let it rest on a cutting board for 5 minutes. This will help retain its juices.

Step 5

While the steak rests, wash and prepare the vegetables. Chop the Romaine lettuce into bite-sized pieces and place them in a large salad bowl.

Step 6

Halve the cherry tomatoes, slice the cucumber into thin rounds, and thinly slice the red onion. Add them to the bowl with the lettuce.

Step 7

In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, balsamic vinegar, honey, and minced garlic to create the dressing.

Step 8

Slice the rested steak into thin strips against the grain and add to the salad bowl along with the crumbled feta cheese.

Step 9

Drizzle the balsamic dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine.

Step 10

Serve immediately and enjoy your fresh and flavorful Steak Lettuce Salad!
