Description

This grilled steak salad with sesame dressing recipe is an Asian-style salad with seasoned rib-eye and a colorful salad with a rice vinegar dressing.

Ingredients

1 (12 ounce) rib eye steak
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon Montreal steak seasoning, or to taste
1/2 lemon, juiced
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons white sugar
1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
2 pinches red pepper flakes
10 leaves romaine lettuce, torn into bite-size pieces
1/2 large English cucumber, cubed
1 avocado - peeled, pitted, and diced
1 tomato, cut into wedges
1 carrot, grated
4 thin slices red onion
3 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds

Directions

1 Season both sides rib-eye with soy sauce and steak seasoning; transfer to a plate. Cover with plastic wrap; refrigerate at least 1 hour to overnight.
2 Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
3 Cook on the preheated grill until firm, reddish-pink, and juicy in the center, about 6 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 130 degrees F (54 degrees C). Transfer steak to a platter, sprinkle with lemon juice, and cover loosely with aluminum foil. Rest about 10 minutes, then cut into strips.
4 Whisk rice wine vinegar, olive oil, sugar, sesame oil, garlic powder, and pepper flakes together in a small bowl. Combine lettuce, cucumber, avocado, tomato, carrot, red onion, and steak in a large bowl; pour dressing over salad and toss to coat. Sprinkle with sesame seeds to serve.
