Prep Time20 minutes
Total Time20 minutes
Servings: 2 servings

Ingredients

  • 1 lb sirloin steak seared or grilled to medium
  • 4 cups mixed baby greens
  • 1 medium avocado cut into chunks
  • 1 large red mango diced (about 1 cup)
  • 2 balls fresh mozzarella
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
  • 2 tsp honey
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper

Instructions

  • Season the sirloin steak with salt, black pepper, and any preferred steak seasoning (optional). Sear or grill the steak over medium-high heat until medium doneness, about 3–5 minutes per side depending on thickness.
  • Transfer the cooked steak to a cutting board and let it rest for 5 minutes, then slice thinly against the grain.
  • Place the mixed baby greens in a large salad bowl.
  • Add the avocado chunks, diced mango, and fresh mozzarella to the greens.
  • In a small bowl or jar, whisk together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, honey, salt, and black pepper until the dressing is smooth and combined.
  • Drizzle the dressing over the salad, top with the sliced steak, and toss gently if desired. Serve immediately.

Equipment

  • Skillet or Grill Pan
  • Knife
  • Cutting Board
  • Large Salad Bowl
  • small bowl or jar (for dressing)
  • Measuring Spoons

Notes

  • Letting the steak rest ensures juicier slices.
  • Adjust honey to taste for sweetness.
  • Slice steak against the grain for tenderness.
  • Use ripe mango for best flavor.
