Italian Steak Salad with Balsamic
Easy yet flavorful, this is a delicious, nutrient packed salad that is a perfect weeknight meal. I also like to add a few handfuls of fresh herbs like basil and parsley to the leafy greens in this. If you have room for more calories and/or carbs then a few tablespoons of pine nuts would be an excellent addition as would a bit of torn burrata for an extra decadent meal.

Steak
- 1 pound steak tips cut into 2-inch pieces
- 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
- 1 clove garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce check for gluten-free
- 1 teaspoon avocado oil

Salad
- 1 tablespoon balsamic
- 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
- 1/4 teaspoon Dijon

Instructions
- Combine all steak ingredients except the avocado oil in a large bowl and stir to coat evenly. Set aside to marinate for 15 minutes at room temperature, or up to overnight.
