Remove the beef sirloin steak from the fridge and let it come to room temperature for about 15-20 minutes.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
Season the beef with salt and black pepper on both sides.
Sear the beef in the hot skillet for 3-5 minutes per side, depending on your desired doneness (3 minutes for medium-rare and 5 minutes for medium-well).
Once cooked, transfer the beef to a cutting board and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing thinly against the grain.
While the beef rests, prepare the vegetables by halving the cherry tomatoes, slicing the cucumber into thin rounds, and chopping the red onion into thin strips.
In a large serving bowl, combine the mixed salad greens, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, and red onion.
Crumble the feta cheese over the salad and toss gently to combine.
Slice the rested beef into thin strips and arrange them over the salad.
Drizzle the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil and 2 tablespoons of balsamic vinegar over the salad.
Sprinkle fresh parsley over the top as a garnish.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Garden Veggies and Beef Salad!
