Ingredients
The Steak
- 10 ounce grilling steak boneless prime rib
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon avocado oil
The Salad
- 4 ounces arugula
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes cut in half
- ½ English cucumber diced

The Creamy Balsamic Dressing
- ½ tablespoon grainy mustard
- ½ tablespoon Dijon mustard
- ½ tablespoon Balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- A pinch of salt and pepper
Instructions
- Take the steak out of your fridge and evenly coat both sides with the salt and pepper.
- Add all the salad ingredients to a salad bowl.
- Heat a cast iron or heavy-bottomed pan over high heat. Drizzle the avocado oil over both sides of the steak. When the pan starts to smoke, add the steak and let it cook undisturbed for 2 minutes. Flip the steak over and let it cook for 2-3 minutes more. Transfer the steak to a cutting board and let it rest.
- While the steak is resting, whisk the salad dressing ingredients in a small bowl. Thin the dressing with up to a tablespoon of water, as needed. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss
- Thinly slice the steak across the grain and serve it over the salad.
Notes
The salad dressing will keep for a few weeks in your fridge so feel free to make extra to have on hand for your dinner salads.
Optional: if you eat dairy, some crumbled blue cheese is delicious in this salad.
