My husband thinks it’s important that I tell you that this is a waste of a perfectly good steak, which ideally should be served alongside a baked potato and fresh corn on the cob. He recommends only using this recipe for leftover steak, which apparently is a rarity in his world much like leftover wine is a rarity in mine.
It’s still a great summer salad, and hearty enough to stand alone as a meal.

Looks delicious. And yes, my hubby would agree with yours 😉
Looks soo delicious!
Can’t wait to try this on my hubby. He loves flank steak.
How do you season your steak? Do you grill it?
Yes, we grill it. For this particular recipe, I marinate it in red wine and olive oil (about equal portions) with some sliced fresh garlic. I also have two delicious flank steak recipes here and here.
Looks like a terrific recipe and the comments gave us a good chuckle!
The blog continues to soar, Christy, and Amy!
Looks delish! I just love great salads ~ especially those with different ingredients….not just lettuce, tomatoes, etc. Thanks so much for sharing!

Looks so yummy! Your husband and my husband agree whole heartedly lol. Great blog Christy and Amy. Always something interesting to read!
Thanks so much, Heidi! Yes, I think all men feel that way about steak; it must be something on the Y chromosome. 🙂
