Lean sirloin steak sits atop a bed of fresh veggies for an easy weeknight main dish salad. Top with crumbles of rich blue cheese to bring out the bold flavors in the homemade vinaigrette. Ingredients:
2 teaspoons chili powder |
3/4 teaspoon ground cumin |
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder |
1/2 teaspoon salt, divided |
1/4 teaspoon black pepper, divided |
1 pound lean sirloin steak, trimmed |
cooking spray |
2 tablespoons white wine vinegar |
2 teaspoons dijon mustard |
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil |
6 cups torn bibb lettuce |
3/4 cup thinly sliced peeled cucumber |
1 cup red bell pepper strips |
1/2 cup thinly sliced shallots |
1/2 cup (2 ounces) crumbled blue cheese |
Directions:
1. Combine chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon black pepper; rub evenly over both sides of steak.
2. Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Coat pan with cooking spray. Add steak to pan; cook 5 minutes. Turn steak over; cook 4 minutes or until desired degree of doneness. Place steak on a cutting board; let stand 5 minutes. Cut across grain into thin slices.
3. Combine vinegar, mustard, remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt, and remaining 1/8 teaspoon black pepper in a small bowl, stirring with a whisk. Gradually add oil, stirring with a whisk. Combine lettuce, cucumber, bell pepper, and shallots in a large bowl. Drizzle vinaigrette over salad; toss gently to coat. Top salad with steak and cheese.
