Ingredients
For the Steak + Marinade
- 2 pounds hanger or skirt steak
- ⅓ cup olive oil
- 2 garlic cloves chopped
- 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- ¼ cup soy sauce
- 4 tablespoons agave nectar or honey
For the Tomato Salad
- 1-2 pints cherry tomatoes halved
- 2-3 tablespoons olive oil
- kosher salt
- freshly cracked black pepper
- 1 handful of fresh arugula or upland cress
- ⅓ red onion thinly sliced
Instructions
- Combine the ingredients for the marinade in a large non-reactive bowl. Add the steak and marinate for at least 2 hours up to 24.
- Heat a grill over medium high heat.
- Remove the steak from the marinade and generously season with salt and pepper. Place the steak on the grill and grill for 4-6 minutes on each side, turning 90 degrees halfway through to get crisscross grill marks.
- Cook until medium/medium rare, or medium, depending on your preference, and then remove to a cutting board and let rest for 10 minutes.
- In a large bowl, toss the halved cherry tomatoes with a few tablespoons of olive oil, salt, pepper, arugula and red onions.
- Slice the steak against the grain and top with the tomato salad. Serve immediately.

Notes
- Slicing the steak ahead of time makes it go further. Dressing a salad with steak means eating less but still getting full enjoyment!
