Grilled Grass-Fed Beef Salad with Herb Vinaigrette

Ingredients:

For the Salad:

• 1 lb 100% grass-fed beef steak (such as sirloin or ribeye)
• 6 cups mixed salad greens (spinach, arugula, or your choice)
• 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
• 1 cucumber, sliced
• 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
• 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese (optional)
• Salt and pepper to taste

For the Herb Vinaigrette:

• 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
• 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 1 garlic clove, minced
• 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 tablespoon fresh basil, chopped
• 1 tablespoon fresh chives, chopped
• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
2. Season the grass-fed beef steak generously with salt and pepper on both sides.
3. Grill the steak for 4-6 minutes per side, depending on your desired level of doneness (medium-rare is recommended for optimal tenderness and flavor). Remove the steak from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing thinly against the grain.
4. While the steak is resting, prepare the salad. In a large bowl, combine the mixed salad greens, cherry tomatoes, cucumber slices, and red onion slices. Toss gently to combine.
5. In a small bowl, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil, red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, fresh lemon juice, chopped parsley, chopped basil, and chopped chives to make the herb vinaigrette. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
6. Drizzle the herb vinaigrette over the salad and toss until evenly coated.
7. Divide the dressed salad onto serving plates and top with slices of grilled grass-fed beef steak. Sprinkle crumbled feta cheese over the top, if desired.
8. Serve immediately and enjoy the delicious combination of flavors and textures in this nutritious and satisfying dish.
