Steak Salad

Main Ingredients:

• Steak
• Egg
• Butter or Olive Oil

Salad Components:

• Mixed Greens (50/50 mix, or Arugula as an alternative)
• Mini Tomatoes
• Mandarins
• Greek Yogurt (0% or 2%)
• Sweet Potatoes

Seasonings:

• Basil
• Oregano
• Trader Joe’s Green Goddess
• Timut Pepper

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Insert a meat thermometer targeting an internal temperature of 117°F for the steak. Prepare the salad while the steak cooks (approximately 20 minutes).
2. As the steak nears 117°F, preheat a pan on high heat (level 8-10). Add butter or oil. You may start cooking the egg in a separate pan simultaneously.
3. For the sweet potatoes, pierce with a fork and microwave with a small amount of water for 5-6 minutes. Slice and add to the salad.
4. When the steak reaches 117°F, remove it from the oven and sear both sides in the hot pan for about 20-30 seconds each (adjust according to personal preference). Top the salad with the sliced steak and egg.

1. Heat a pan to medium-high and add olive oil. Cook the seasoned beef under a lid to retain moisture. Flip once juices run clear.
