Instructions

Make the Vinaigrette

  1. In a mason jar, combine the orange zest, freshly squeezed orange juice, olive oil and apple cider vinegar.
  2. Season with salt and pepper.
  3. Cap the mason jar, then shake vigorously, until the vinaigrette has come together.
  4. Taste and add additional seasonings if necessary, then set aside.

Cook the Steak

  1. In a nonstick skillet over high heat, add the ghee.
  2. As the ghee melts, season the Strip Steak liberally with salt and pepper.
  3. Once the ghee is melted, place the steak in the pan. Do not move it. Let it cook at this high heat untouched.
  4. Cook for 90 seconds to 2 minutes on the first side, then flip to cook an additional 90 seconds.
  5. Remove the steak from the pan, and place on a cutting board. Cover with aluminum foil, and rest for 5-10 minutes.
  6. When the steak has rested, slice into thin strips for the salad.

Make the Salad

  1. In a bowl, add the chopped romaine, cucumber and oranges. 
  2. Drizzle the vinaigrette on top of the ingredients, and toss until everything is coated.
  3. Add additional vinaigrette if necessary.
  4. Arrange the salad on a plate or in individual bowls.
  5. Add the avocado slices as a garnish, then add the sliced steak.
  6. Serve immediately, and enjoy.

Notes

  • This steak can be grilled, too. Heat the grill to 425°F-450°F. When the grill is ready, add the steaks. Don't move them around once they're on the grill. Flip once and cook to appropriate doneness.
  • If making this salad as an entrée for more than two people, simply double or triple the recipe.
  • To make this recipe dairy free, substitute ½ tablespoon of coconut oil for the ghee.
