Ingredients

  • 250–300 g steak (sirloin, flank, or ribeye)
  • 1 small garlic clove, grated
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • A pinch of salt
  • A pinch of black pepper
  • 1/2 avocado, sliced
  • 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/2 cucumber, sliced
  • A few red onion slices
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice or balsamic vinegar


  • Healthy option (recommended):

  • Choose a lean cut of steak (sirloin or flank) to reduce fat.
  • Use extra virgin olive oil and avoid heavy sauces.
  • Add more leafy greens for extra fiber and volume.
  • Add seeds or nuts (like pumpkin seeds or almonds) for healthy fats and crunch.
  • Keep the seasoning simple and natural (garlic, lemon, salt, and pepper).



Execution

1

Marinate the steak: Place the steak in a bowl. Add the grated garlic, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Rub the mixture over the meat and let it absorb the flavors.

2

Prepare the salad: In a large bowl or on a serving plate, arrange the salad greens, cucumber slices, cherry tomatoes, red onion, and avocado.

3

Cook, rest, and slice the steak: Heat a pan or grill over medium-high heat. Cook the steak for about 3–4 minutes per side (for medium), or until it reaches your preferred doneness. Remove from the heat and let it rest for 3 minutes, then slice it thinly against the grain.

4

Assemble the salad: Place the sliced steak on top of the prepared salad.

5

Season and dress: Drizzle with lemon juice or balsamic vinegar and a little olive oil. Adjust salt and pepper if needed.

6

Serve and enjoy: Serve immediately while the steak is still warm and enjoy it with a glass of fresh orange juice on the side for a refreshing and balanced meal.
