The Steak Power Salad Bowl
Prep time: 15 mins | Cook time: 10 mins | Servings: 1
Ingredients
-
The Protein: 6–8 oz Sirloin or Ribeye steak (seasoned with salt, pepper, and garlic powder).
-
The Base: 2 cups mixed greens or chopped Romaine.
-
The Goods:
-
1/2 Avocado, sliced (dusted with paprika or chili powder).
-
2 Hard-boiled eggs, halved.
-
1/2 cup Sweet corn (canned or charred).
-
1/2 cup Cherry tomatoes, halved.
-
-
Optional Dressing: A simple Balsamic vinaigrette or a Creamy Cilantro Lime dressing would pair perfectly here.
Instructions
-
Sear the Steak: Get a cast-iron skillet medium-high. Sear the steak for 3–4 minutes per side for medium-rare. Crucial step: Let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing so those juices stay inside.
-
Prep the Eggs: While the steak rests, boil your eggs (9 minutes for a firm yolk like the photo) and shock them in ice water.
-
Assemble: Layer your greens at the bottom. Arrange the corn, tomatoes, and eggs in sections around the edge.
-
The Main Event: Fan out your avocado slices and top with a pinch of paprika. Place the sliced steak right in the center.
-
Finish: Drizzle with your dressing of choice and an extra crack of black pepper.
Quick Tip for Success
To get that professional look in the photo, toss your greens in a little bit of dressing before adding the toppings. It ensures every bite is seasoned without drowning the steak!
