Ingredients
- 2 ervings grilled steak (this can also be leftovers and not cooked fresh)
- 4 cups arugula
- 1 medium carrot grated
- 1/2 large english cucumber sliced & halved
- 1 large tomato cut into wedges
- 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
- 1/2 medium red onion. thinly sliced OPTIONAL
- 1 batch Homemade Asian Salad Dressing prepared according to the recipe
Instructions
Grilled Steak
- Remove the steak from the fridge 30 minutes before cooking.
- Use the rub of your choice and season the steaks on all sides. I use Montreal Steak seasoning as it doesn't interfere with the flavors of the salad, it matches nicely.
- Set your grill to medium-high
- Place the steaks on the grill and cook over direct heat for 4-5 minutes on each side for medium rare. Use a meat thermometer to check and cook to your preferred done-ness.
- Remove the steaks from the grill and then let the steaks rest for 10-15 minutes while your prepare the salad. The juices will settle and redistribute throughout the meat.

Preparing the Salad
- You can divide this recipe and plate on separate plates if desired or plate on a large platter as shown.
- I prefer to lay out the salad as shown on a large platter , arugula on the bottom, then topped with the grated carrots.
- Place the carrots and the cumber around the sides of the salad,
- Slice the steak once it has sat for a while and place on top of the salad.
- Drizzle the salad dressing on top, generously, then sprinkle the sesame seeds on top.
- Split up and serve!
Notes
- The servings on this are easily adjusted. Make more steak, add more veggies, one batch of the Asian dressing will cover four servings of this salad.
- Nutritional information on this will vary depending on what type of steak you use, and how much steak you use as well.
- Onions are GREAT in this, but I was sharing with someone that didn't want onions. Thin slices will add some great sharpness to the dish.
