Ingredients

• 1 piece (12 oz) ribeye steak
• 4 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 6 cups mixed baby greens
• 1.5 cups cherry tomatoes
• 0.5 medium (thinly sliced) red onion

• 0.5 cup (chopped) cilantro
• 2 small red chili peppers
• 4 large garlic cloves
• 1 medium (juiced) lime
• 1 teaspoon white vinegar
• 1 teaspoon honey

Directions

Step 1

Remove the ribeye steak from the refrigerator 30 minutes before cooking to bring it to room temperature.

Step 2

Season the steak generously with 1 teaspoon kosher salt and 0.5 teaspoon black pepper on both sides.

Step 3

Heat a large skillet or grill pan over high heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil.

Step 4

Once the skillet is hot, sear the steak for 3-4 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or cook to your preferred doneness.

Step 5

Remove the steak from the skillet, transfer it to a cutting board, and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing.

Step 6

While the steak rests, prepare the spicy garlic salsa: Combine 2 red chili peppers, 4 garlic cloves, 3 tablespoons olive oil, the juice of 1 lime, 1 teaspoon white vinegar, and 1 teaspoon honey in a food processor. Blend until smooth and set aside.

Step 7

In a large salad bowl, add 6 cups of mixed baby greens, 1.5 cups of halved cherry tomatoes, 0.5 medium red onion (thinly sliced), 1 sliced avocado, and 0.5 cup chopped cilantro.

Step 8

Slice the steak into thin strips and add it to the salad bowl on top of the greens and vegetables.

Step 9

Drizzle the spicy garlic salsa over the steak and salad ingredients.

Step 10

Toss lightly to combine and serve immediately for a fresh and flavorful meal.
