Argentinian cuisine is renowned for its high-quality beef and vibrant, fresh produce. The Grilled Steak Salad is a modern take on Argentina’s asado tradition, combining tender, grilled steak with crisp, seasonal vegetables and a tangy vinaigrette. This dish reflects the country’s outdoor dining culture and emphasis on bold, straightforward flavors.

Ingredients

  • Servings: 4
    Preparation Time: 30 minutes

    • 1 lb lean beef steak (such as sirloin or flank), grilled and thinly sliced

    • 1 red bell pepper, julienned
    • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

    • 2 tbsp red wine vinegar
    • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
    • Salt and pepper to taste
    • Fresh parsley or cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions:

  1. Grill the Steak: Season the steak with salt and pepper. Grill over high heat for 4-5 minutes per side (adjust time for your preferred doneness). Let the steak rest for 5 minutes, then thinly slice it.
  2. Prepare the Salad: In a large bowl, combine mixed greens, julienned red bell pepper, cherry tomatoes, avocado slices, and red onion.
  3. Make the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper until emulsified.
  4. Assemble: Toss the salad with the dressing until well combined. Arrange the sliced steak on top.
