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.

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.
While the steak marinates, prepare the salad. Stir together the vinegars and mustard. Add the remaining salad ingredients and toss to coat evenly.
Heat 1 teaspoon avocado oil in a hot pan over medium-high heat. Add the beef and cook, turning occasionally until browned on all sides cooked to your liking, about 7 minutes for medium rare (125ºF). Serve atop the salad.
