Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound flank steak
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 green bell pepper, sliced
- 1 medium onion, sliced
- 6 cups mixed salad greens
- 1 avocado, sliced
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your grill or stovetop grill pan over medium-high heat.
- In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Rub this mixture all over the flank steak.
- Grill the steak for about 5-7 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until your desired doneness. Remove from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing it thinly against the grain.
- While the steak is resting, add the sliced bell peppers and onion to the grill. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until they are tender and slightly charred.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the sour cream, mayonnaise, cilantro, lime juice, garlic powder, salt, and pepper to make the dressing.
- In a large bowl, combine the mixed greens, grilled vegetables, avocado, and cherry tomatoes. Toss gently to combine.
- Top the salad with the sliced steak and drizzle with the creamy cilantro lime dressing before serving.
Notes
- For a spicier kick, add diced jalapeños to the salad or mix some hot sauce into the dressing.
- Substitute grilled chicken or shrimp for the flank steak for a different protein option.
