3 steaks of choice (about 4lbs worth) – I used sirloin steak
For the peanut dressing
1/3 cup peanut butter (or other nut butter)
1/3 cup water
2 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon coconut aminos
1 tablespoon lime juice
1 tablespoon sriracha
1 tablespoon sesame oil
For the salad
4 ounces greens – I used protein greens (sweet pea leaves, baby spinach, baby bok choy, baby kale, etc.)
7 ounces romaine hearts, roughly chopped
3 Persian cucumbers, thinly sliced
1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
1/4 red onion, thinly sliced
handful of mint leaves
handful of cilantro
1/4 cup peanuts
flake salt, for garnish
Instructions
Whisk together all the ingredients for the marinated steak. Place steak in a shallow dish then pour the marinade on top, cover and place in the fridge to marinate for 3 hours or even overnight. The longer, the better!
Once steak has marinated, place a large cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add 1 tablespoons of oil. Remove steaks from marinade and pat dry, then add each steak to the hot pan. Cook steak on each side for 3-5 minutes, or until the steaks reach an internal temperature of 145 degrees F for medium rare. Remove steaks and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing against the grain.
While the steaks rest, place all the ingredients for the dressing in a blender and blend until smooth and combined.
Place all ingredients for the salad on a large plate. Top with sliced steak then add then dressing on top before tossing and serving up!
