Ingredients

For the Steak

2 petite sirloin steaks
¼ cup avocado oil
¼ cup balsamic vinegar
2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1 ½ tsp salt
1 tsp black pepper

For the Dressing

¼ cup avocado oil
2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
2 tbsp Dijon mustard
1 tbsp honey or sugar free maple syrup if low carb
½ tsp salt
¼ tsp black pepper

For the Salad

4 cups romaine lettuce chopped
2 cups baby arugula
1 cup cherry tomatoes halved
1 cup corn
1 large avocado sliced
½ red onion sliced
½ cup crumbled bleu cheese

Instructions

In a large ziplock bag or bowl, combine all steak ingredients together. Add the steak, then marinate the steak in the refrigerator for at least 6-8 hours for the best flavor and texture.
Heat your grill to medium-high, then place the steak on the grill. Grill for 5 minutes, then flip and grill for another 1-2 minutes, or until cooked to your liking. Remove from the grill and set aside to rest.
Meanwhile, combine all dressing ingredients in a bowl or mason jar and stir until combined.
Slice your steak into ½ inch strips, then assemble your salads with the remaining ingredients. Drizzle with dressing and serve!

Notes

You can use flank steak, new york strip, even prime rib for this recipe.
The dressing is sweet and tangy, and pairs perfectly with the steak and other ingredients!
I used frozen corn that was thawed out, but you can also use canned or even fresh grilled corn!
Store leftovers for up to 3 days in the refrigerator.
The steak is honestly so delicious on it’s own, it would make for really good quesadillas, nachos, steak sandwiches, steak and eggs, etc.
I used my Traeger grills set at 450 for this recipe, it yielded a medium-done steak. You can also use a grill pan or a simple skillet to the cook the steak.
