Seared Steak Salad with Chickpeas and Mixed Greens
Pan-seared top sirloin strips served over mixed greens and chickpeas, finished with a bright lemon-herb vinaigrette and a sprinkle of toasted sunflower seeds.
INGREDIENTS
5.4 oz Top Sirloin Steak
0.5 cup Canned Chickpeas, drained
2 cups Mixed Greens
0.5 cup Cherry Tomatoes, halved
0.5 cup Cucumber, sliced
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
1 tsp Sunflower Seeds
PREPARATION
Pat the top sirloin steak dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt, pepper, and a pinch of dried oregano.
Heat a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat and lightly coat with a small amount of oil spray.
Place the steak in the hot skillet and sear for 3 to 4 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until it reaches your preferred level of doneness.
Transfer the steak to a cutting board and let it rest for at least 5 minutes to keep the juices intact.
In a small jar or bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt to create the dressing.
In a large salad bowl, combine the mixed greens, drained chickpeas, halved cherry tomatoes, and sliced cucumbers.
Slice the rested steak against the grain into thin, bite-sized strips.
Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently to coat all the vegetables.
Top the salad with the sliced steak and finish with a sprinkle of toasted sunflower seeds for a satisfying crunch.
