ingredients
- 1 (4 -6 ounce) rib eye steaks, room temperature
- salt and pepper, to taste
- vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons lime juice, freshly squeezed
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce
- 1⁄8 teaspoon granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon minced serrano chili (optional, for heat)
- 2 cups torn mixed spring greens (Use your favorite lettuces, spinach, etc.)
- 2 tablespoons cilantro leaves
- 5 -6 thin slices cucumbers
- 1⁄2 of a medium tomatoes, cut into 6 wedges
- 1 thin slice red onion, quartered, separated into pieces
- salt and pepper, to taste
directions
- Season steak with salt and pepper; set aside.
- Place your torn greens and cilantro in a large bowl of ice water to clean and crisp them up.
- Heat your grill (gas, charcoal or grill pan) over high heat until very hot.
- In a small bowl, whisk together lime juice, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, sugar and chili, if using. Taste, and add a touch more sugar, if desired. Set aside.
- Brush steaks with vegetable oil. Grill to desired doneness. I grill mine for about 4 minutes per side for medium rare. Remove steak to a cutting board and allow to rest for about 5-7 minutes.
- Transfer your greens to a salad spinner; spin dry. Drain water from bowl, rinse and wipe dry. Return greens to bowl. Add cucumber, tomato, and onions.
- Slice steak thinly across the grain, taking care to reserve the juices. Whisk meat juices into lime dressing.
- Drizzle half of the dressing over the salad greens. Toss to distribute throughout.
- Plate salad and top with sliced meat. Drizzle remaining dressing over meat and greens as desired. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve with thick slices of buttered bread.
