In the deep of winter we can still enjoy the luscious summer flavors of basil and strawberry with this simple, yet hearty steak and arugula salad.
Ingredients
For the Salad:
8 oz flank steak or top sirloin
2 tsp. Montreal Steak Seasoning
3 Tbsp Basil Olive Oil
Couple large handfuls of arugula
2 Tbsp golden raisins
3 green onions, thinly sliced
1 carrot, grated
1/3 cup roasted red bell pepper, diced
¼ cup water chestnuts, diced
2 Tbsp almonds, sliced and toasted
1/3 cup feta cheese crumbles
For the Dressing:
3 Tbsp Basil Olive Oil
2 Tbsp Strawberry Balsamic Vinegar
½ tsp. coarse salt
¼ tsp black pepper
Preparation
Season the beef with Montreal Seasoning on both sides. Heat Basil olive oil in a skillet until shimmering and sear steak on both sides to desired doneness. Transfer to a plate and cover loosely with foil. Allow to rest about 10 minutes.
Assemble the vegetable salad ingredients in a large bowl. Whisk together dressing ingredients and reserve 2 Tbsp to drizzle over steak. Toss veggies and dressing until well coated and transfer to plates. Slice steak thinly and place on top of salads. Use remaining 2 Tbsp to drizzle over meat
Serves 2 as entrée salads or 4 as a starter
