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 to taste
- 1-2 garlic cloves, minced
Salad
- 5 slices of bacon, cooked and diced
- 6-8 cups salad greens or lettuce
- 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. In a bowl, combine the oil, pepper, mustard, soy sauce, and minced garlic. Mix thoroughly to create the marinade.
- Apply marinade: Using a brush, coat one side of the steak with the mustard marinade, ensuring an even layer of flavor.
- Grill the steak: Place the steak on the hot grill, cover with the lid to keep the heat in. Expect some flare-ups, but they will subside quickly.
- Cook and flip: Grill the steak for approximately 4 to 5 minutes on one side. Flip the steak and continue grilling for another 4 to 5 minutes to achieve a medium level of doneness.
- Rest and prepare salad: Remove the steak from the grill and let it rest on a cutting board for about 5 minutes to allow juices to redistribute. Meanwhile, arrange the lettuce or salad greens and sliced red onion on a large platter.
- Slice and serve: Slice the rested steak against the grain into long, diagonal pieces. Arrange the sliced steak over the salad, drizzle with your choice of vinaigrette or creamy dressing, and sprinkle with the cooked diced bacon. Serve immediately and enjoy!
Notes
- Resting the steak after grilling is essential for juicy, tender slices.
- You can use any cut of steak that grills well, such as ribeye, sirloin, or flank steak.
- Adjust grilling time based on steak thickness and desired doneness.
- Optional: Add other salad vegetables such as cherry tomatoes or cucumbers for extra freshness.
- If you prefer, mustard can be substituted with spicy brown mustard for a more intense flavor.
