Ingredients

• 500 grams Beef sirloin or flank steak
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 4 cups Mixed salad greens
• 1.5 cups Cherry tomatoes, halved
• 1 medium Cucumber, thinly sliced
• 0.5 Red onion, thinly sliced
• 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro or parsley, chopped
• 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 3 tablespoons Lime juice, freshly squeezed
• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 1 teaspoon Sesame oil

Directions

Step 1

Season the beef generously with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Let it marinate at room temperature for 10 minutes.

Step 2

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the beef for 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare, or cook to your desired doneness.

Step 3

Remove the beef from the skillet and let it rest on a cutting board for 5 minutes. Slice it thinly against the grain and set aside.

Step 4

In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, lime juice, honey, sesame oil, and optional crushed red chili flakes to make the dressing.

Step 5

In a large salad bowl, combine the mixed salad greens, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, and chopped cilantro or parsley.

Step 6

Drizzle half of the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine.

Step 7

Arrange the sliced beef on top of the salad and drizzle with the remaining dressing.

Step 8

Serve the warm beef salad immediately, garnished with additional fresh herbs if desired.
