Description
A delicious Garlic Steak Bite Salad with a tangy tarragon dressing, perfect for a hearty meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound sirloin steak, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 6 cups mixed salad greens (such as spinach, arugula, and romaine)
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1/2 cucumber, sliced
- 1/4 red onion, thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese (optional)
For the tarragon dressing:
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon fresh tarragon, chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried tarragon)
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine the steak pieces, olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Toss to coat the steak evenly.
- Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the steak bites and cook for about 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned and cooked to your desired level of doneness. Remove from heat and set aside.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, tarragon, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper until smooth. Adjust seasoning to taste.
- In a large salad bowl, combine the mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, and red onion. Toss gently to mix.
- Add the cooked steak bites on top of the salad and drizzle with the tarragon dressing. Toss gently to combine everything.
- If using, sprinkle crumbled feta cheese over the top before serving.
Notes
- For added crunch, consider topping the salad with toasted nuts or seeds, such as sliced almonds or sunflower seeds.
- Substitute the sirloin steak with grilled chicken or shrimp for a different protein option while keeping it keto-friendly.
