Grilled Steak Salad with Lime and Cilantro

Step 1

Pat the 1 lb flank steak dry and season both sides with salt and pepper. Let it sit at room temperature for 10 minutes.

Step 2

Heat a grill or grill pan over high heat. Cook the steak for 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, until a thermometer reads 130°F and the outside is nicely charred.

Step 3

Transfer the steak to a cutting board and let it rest for 5 minutes. Meanwhile, whisk the juice of 1 lime with 2 tbsp olive oil, salt, and pepper to make the dressing.

Step 4

Slice the 1 red bell pepper, 1 yellow bell pepper, and 1 small red onion into thin strips. Tear the 1 head of romaine into bite-sized pieces and place in a large bowl.

Step 5

Add the sliced peppers and onion to the bowl, drizzle with the dressing, and toss to coat. Slice the rested steak thinly against the grain.

Step 6

Top the salad with the sliced steak, the remaining 1 tbsp olive oil, and the juice of the second lime. Roughly chop the cilantro and sprinkle over the top.

Step 7

Serve immediately, with extra lime wedges if desired.
