Grilled Steak Salad with Lime and Cilantro

Ingredients

• 1 pound flank steak
• 2 whole lime
• 1 bunch cilantro
• 1 whole red bell pepper
• 1 whole yellow bell pepper
• 1 small red onion
• 1 head romaine lettuce
• 3 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions

1. 1

   Pat the 1 lb flank steak dry and season both sides with salt and pepper. Let it sit at room temperature for 10 minutes.

2. 2

   Heat a grill or grill pan over high heat. Cook the steak for 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, until a thermometer reads 130°F and the outside is nicely charred.

3. 3

   Transfer the steak to a cutting board and let it rest for 5 minutes. Meanwhile, whisk the juice of 1 lime with 2 tbsp olive oil, salt, and pepper to make the dressing.

4. 4

   Slice the 1 red bell pepper, 1 yellow bell pepper, and 1 small red onion into thin strips. Tear the 1 head of romaine into bite-sized pieces and place in a large bowl.

5. 5

   Add the sliced peppers and onion to the bowl, drizzle with the dressing, and toss to coat. Slice the rested steak thinly against the grain.

6. 6

   Top the salad with the sliced steak, the remaining 1 tbsp olive oil, and the juice of the second lime. Roughly chop the cilantro and sprinkle over the top.

7. 7

   Serve immediately, with extra lime wedges if desired.
