Yield: Serves 4
Ingredients: 1 pound flank steak or sirloin, about 1-inch thick; 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided; 1 teaspoon kosher salt; 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper; 8 cups mixed salad greens (arugula, spinach, romaine); 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved; 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced; 1/2 cup crumbled blue cheese (about 2 ounces); 1 avocado, sliced; 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar; 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard; 1 garlic clove, minced; 1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil; 1 teaspoon honey

Instructions

Prepare the steak

Pat the steak dry with paper towels. Rub with 1 tablespoon olive oil and season generously with salt and pepper. Let sit at room temperature for 15 minutes before grilling.
Make the vinaigrette

In a small bowl, whisk together balsamic vinegar, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, honey, salt, and pepper. Slowly stream in 1/3 cup olive oil while whisking constantly until emulsified. Set aside.
Grill the steak

Preheat grill or grill pan to high heat. Grill steak for 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness is reached. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing thinly against the grain.
Prepare the salad

In a large bowl, combine mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, red onion, and toss with half of the vinaigrette.
Assemble and serve

Divide the dressed salad among four plates. Top each with sliced steak, avocado, and crumbled blue cheese. Drizzle with remaining vinaigrette and serve immediately.
