The salad is elevated with the creamy tang of crumbled feta cheese and tied together with a homemade balsamic vinaigrette featuring Dijon mustard, honey, and fresh garlic for a balanced blend of sweet and savory. Ready in just under 30 minutes, this protein-packed salad is not only quick to prepare but also a showstopping way to impress at your next gathering or weeknight meal.
Preheat a grill or cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat.
Rub the flank steak with 1 tablespoon of olive oil for cooking and season generously with salt and black pepper on both sides.
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.
Remove the steak from the grill and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing thinly against the grain.
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.
In a large salad bowl, combine the baby spinach, halved grape tomatoes, thinly sliced red onion, and crumbled feta cheese.
Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss until evenly coated.
Arrange the thinly sliced steak on top of the salad.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Flank Steak Spinach Salad!
