Ingredients
Scale
Steak and Marinade
- 1 lb of your favorite grilling steak
- 1/2 tablespoon seasoned salt
- 2 tablespoons oil
- 1 tablespoon mustard (yellow or Dijon)
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- Pepper as desired
- 1-2 garlic cloves, minced
Salad
- 5 slices of bacon, cooked and diced
- 6-8 cups salad/lettuce greens
- ¼ red onion, sliced
- 1/2 cup favorite vinaigrette or creamy dressing
Instructions
- Preheat and Season: Preheat your grill to high heat. Season the steak evenly with seasoned salt to enhance its flavor.
- Prepare Mustard Marinade: In a bowl, combine the oil, pepper, mustard, soy sauce, and minced garlic. Mix these ingredients thoroughly to create a flavorful marinade.
- Brush Steak: Using a brush, apply the mustard marinade to one side of the steak, ensuring it’s well coated for maximum taste.
- Grill Steak First Side: Place the steak on the hot grill, cover it with the lid, and expect some flare-ups which will quickly settle down. Grill for about 4 to 5 minutes.
- Grill Steak Second Side: Flip the steak and grill the other side for another 4 to 5 minutes for medium doneness, adjusting time if you prefer more or less cooked.
- Rest Steak: Remove the steak from the grill and allow it to rest on a cutting board for 5 minutes to retain its juices.
- Prepare Salad: While the steak rests, arrange the lettuce or salad greens and sliced red onion on a large shallow platter.
- Slice and Arrange Steak: Slice the rested steak against the grain into long diagonal slices and arrange the pieces over the salad greens.
- Add Bacon and Dressing: Sprinkle the diced crispy bacon over the salad and steak. Drizzle your favorite vinaigrette or creamy dressing on top.
- Serve and Enjoy: Serve immediately and enjoy your flavorful mustard glazed grilled steak with a fresh, vibrant salad.
Notes
- Resting the steak after grilling is crucial to keep it juicy and tender.
- You can adjust grilling time based on your preferred steak doneness.
- Use yellow or Dijon mustard depending on your taste preference for the marinade.
- Feel free to customize the salad with additional veggies like tomatoes or cucumbers.
- If grilling isn’t an option, this steak can be pan-seared as an alternative method.
