Ingredients

• 1 pound flank steak
• 6 cups baby spinach
• 1 cup grape tomatoes
• 0.5 red onion
• 0.5 cup crumbled feta cheese
• 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon honey

Directions

Step 1

Preheat a grill or cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 2

Rub the flank steak with 1 tablespoon of olive oil for cooking and season generously with salt and black pepper on both sides.

Step 3

Grill the steak for about 5-6 minutes per side for medium-rare, or adjust the cooking time to your preferred doneness. Use a meat thermometer to ensure it reaches 135°F for medium-rare.

Step 4

Remove the steak from the grill and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing thinly against the grain.

Step 5

While the steak is resting, prepare the dressing by whisking together the extra virgin olive oil, balsamic vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey, minced garlic, salt, and pepper in a small bowl.

Step 6

In a large salad bowl, combine the baby spinach, halved grape tomatoes, thinly sliced red onion, and crumbled feta cheese.

Step 7

Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss until evenly coated.

Step 8

Arrange the thinly sliced steak on top of the salad.
