  • Sirloin or Ribeye steaks, trimmed

  • Spring salad greens mix
  • Micro Sprouts mix
  • Mushrooms
  • Cucumber, sliced
  • Red onion, sliced

  • Salt
  • Black Pepper, ground

Full ingredient amounts and preparation instructions are in the printable recipe card at the bottom of this post.

How to make this Grilled Steak Salad

Start with sirloin, Ribeye, or flank steak. Or choose your favorite steak. I've even used London Broil. Whatever you choose, get a cut at least 1" thick so the interior says pink when the outside is seared in the skillet.

Prepare the salad greens

  1. Start with the spring salad mix and basil leaves, layering them out on a large rectangular platter. Add the sliced cucumbers along the sides. Scatter the sliced mushrooms and half the micro sprouts over the top.

  2. Chill in the refrigerator while preparing the steaks.

Trim fat and season the steaks

  1. Season the steaks with garlic powder, salt, and pepper. You can also use Lemon Pepper, Montreal Steak blend, or any other blend of seasonings that you love.

  2. If you are using a tougher cut of beef, consider marinating it in some Italian salad dressing a few hours before grilling. The marination will tenderize the meat.

Sear or char the steaks

  1. Heat the skillet to medium high heat. Add the steaks for 4 minutes on one side. Turn, and cook the other side for 4 minutes. Remove the steaks onto a cutting board and let rest 5 minutes.

  2. Slice the steaks in ¼" slices, and arrange on platter of greens. Toss the feta cheese crumbles, red onion slices, and micro sprouts over the hot steak. Serve immediately.

Serving suggestions

This Grilled Steak Salad can be a stand alone meal by itself. Or serve with some warm crusty bread, some Instant Pot Corn on the Cob that takes less than the time to make this salad also!

Serve it with our Rhubarb Galette or Del Frisco's Butter Cake dessert for a delicious meal.

Substitutions and Variations

If beef is not what you are in the mood for, you can make this grilled salad using grilled chicken breast, grilled salmon, or grilled shrimp. Another spectacular variation would be lightly seared Ahi Tuna sliced thin on the bed of salad greens.

Equipment

  • Cast Iron Skillet

A good cast iron skillet is my favorite for searing or charring steaks, while still keeping the grilled steak interior medium rare.

Top Tips

  • Buy your favorite steak in a medium thickness.
  • Fresh, crisp salad greens, the mix you like best.

Frequently asked questions

How long do I cook the steak for medium instead of medium rare?

Cook each side for 5 minutes for medium steak with only a hint of pink in the interior center.

Food Safety

  • Do not use the same utensils on cooked food, that previously touched raw meat.
  • Wash hands after touching raw meat.
  • Don't leave food sitting out at room temperature for extended periods.
  • Never leave cooking food unattended.
  • Use oils with high smoking point to avoid harmful compounds.
  • Always have good ventilation when using a gas stove.
