Steak Salad

I made this for dinner tonight after seeing it on another blog! I think it would be more fitting for a lunch, but it is all about personal preference. I prefer something a little heavier for dinner so I am not feeling the hunger pangs before bedtime.

It was delicious and SUPER healthy! Give it a try and let me know what you think about it!

Ingredients:




  • 1 lb top round steak (or any other lean cut)
  • 2 cucumbers cut and quartered into 1-2 inch pieces
  • 7-8 cherry tomatoes cut in half
  • 2 avocados halved, pitted and sliced
  • 1/2 sweet onion, sliced
  • 2 zucchini, quartered into 3 inch pieces
  • 5 tablespoons olive oil
  • juice of 1 1/2 lime
  • ground black pepper
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in skillet on high heat. Season the steak with ground pepper and cook steak for about 5 minutes on each side (will be about medium rare).

In the meantime, toss the cucumber, tomatoes, and avocado in a bowl with 4 tablespoons of olive oil and top with lime juice. Season with black pepper and set aside. 



Remove the steak from the heat and let it rest for a few minutes to soak in all the juices. While the steak rests, saute the onion and zucchini on medium to high heat until lightly browned. Slice the steak and plate with the veggies! Mmmmmmm....good and healthy. How can you go wrong?
