Spicy Steak Salad with Chermoula Dressing
Description
This Spicy Steak Salad with Chermoula Dressing brings together roasted potatoes and thin-cut, quickly pan-seared beef seasoned and complemented by a vibrant chermoula dressing. The dressing mixes fresh cilantro and parsley with lemon juice, garlic, olive oil, red chili flakes, paprika, cumin, soy sauce, and balsamic vinegar, providing a fresh, slightly spicy, and tangy flavor profile.
The salad base includes crisp romaine lettuce, quartered cucumber, and bright cherry tomatoes, adding refreshing crunch and color contrast. Roasted potatoes contribute softness and caramelized notes, while goat cheese adds a creamy, tangy element and mild richness. Sliced red chili peppers and spring onions further enhance the heat and freshness.
This combination makes a balanced meal suitable for a light dinner or lunch, offering protein, vegetables, and satisfying textures. The dressing's acidity and spice elevate the components without overpowering them.
Ingredient suggestions include choosing quality steak and optionally adding avocado for extra creaminess or swapping goat cheese for blue cheese. Roasted vegetables such as bell peppers, courgettes, and red onions can be included alongside potatoes to diversify texture and flavor.
