A quick and flavorful beef salad bowl perfect for St Patrick’s Day, combining tender seared beef with crisp greens and a tangy dressing for a festive and fuss-free meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz beef sirloin steak, thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil (extra virgin for dressing, regular for cooking)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • ¼ cup fresh parsley, chopped
  • 4 cups mixed salad greens (arugula, spinach, romaine)
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • ½ medium cucumber, thinly sliced
  • ¼ small red onion, thinly sliced (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon honey
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Pat the sirloin steak dry with paper towels and thinly slice against the grain into ¼ inch thick strips.
  2. In a bowl, toss beef strips with 1 tablespoon olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Marinate for about 5 minutes.
  3. Whisk together lemon juice, Dijon mustard, honey, 1 tablespoon olive oil, salt, and pepper in a small bowl until smooth.
  4. Rinse and dry mixed greens. Halve cherry tomatoes, thinly slice cucumber and red onion, and chop parsley.
  5. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Add beef strips in a single layer and sear 1-2 minutes per side until browned but juicy. Remove from heat.
  6. In a large bowl, combine greens, tomatoes, cucumber, onion, and parsley. Drizzle half the dressing and toss gently. Add more dressing if desired.
  7. Plate the salad mixture and top with warm beef strips. Drizzle any beef juices over the top.
  8. Garnish with black pepper and parsley leaves. Serve immediately.

Notes

Do not overcrowd the pan when searing beef to avoid steaming and toughness. Pat beef dry before cooking for a better sear. Let beef rest 3-5 minutes after cooking. Toss salad just before serving to keep greens crisp. To keep beef warm, place assembled bowl in a 200°F (90°C) oven for a few minutes.
