Ingredients

  • 1 lb uncooked lean, trimmed flank steak sliced into thin strips
  • 5 teaspoons Cajun or blackened seasoning
  • 1 tablespoon canola oil
  • 12 cups Spring Mix lettuce blend
  • 1 cup chopped cherry tomatoes
  • 1 cup chopped cucumber
  • 2 oz crumbled blue cheese
  • 2 teaspoons chopped chives
  • 8 tablespoons light balsamic vinaigrette (I highly recommend Marzetti Simply Balsamic Vinaigrette)

Instructions

  • Place the steak strips into a mixing bowl or gallon zip-top bag and add the southwest seasoning. Stir (if using a bowl) or seal the bag and shake/massage until the steak is coated with the seasoning.
  • Bring one tablespoon of oil to medium heat in a large skillet. Add the seasoned steak strips and stir to coat with the oil. Cook, stirring/flipping occasionally, for about 5 minutes until the steak is cooked to taste.
  • *To build each salad, place 3 cups of lettuce into a bowl and top with ¼ cup of tomatoes, ¼ cup of cucumbers, and ½ teaspoon of chives. Drizzle each salad with two tablespoons of the balsamic vinaigrette and toss to coat the salad ingredients in the dressing. Top each salad with ¼ of the steak (for me this was 3 ounces cooked) and ½ ounce of crumbled blue cheese and serve.
    *Build each salad to serve! If you’re only serving one or two salads, dress the ones you’re serving and store the leftover components separately in the fridge until you’re ready to use.
