Garlic Steak Salad

Garlic Steak Rub from Sister's Cafe

Mmmmm, something about making a baby has me craving red meat. This is a cinch to put together and feels hearty and healthy at the same time.

Steak Garlic Rub:
2 Tbsp olive oil
1 tsp salt
1 tsp pepper
2 cloves garlic

Salad:
1 large bunch of leafy greens
cherry tomatoes
mushrooms
1/2 purple onion
crumbled feta cheese

Dressing:
1/2 cup olive oil
2 Tbsp honey
1/4 cup white wine vinegar
2 cloves garlic, finely minced
1 tsp basil
1 tsp parsley
salt and pepper to taste

Mix the garlic rub and marinade steak for at least 1/2 hour. In the meantime, assemble salad, dressing and cook rice. Prepare a hot griddle with a glug of olive oil and smack that meat down, about 1 1/2 minutes each side (for medium rare, depending on the steak thickness) longer if you want it well done. Serve on the salad with rice on the side. Delicious.
