Steak Fajita Salad

Ingredients

  • 1 lb flank or skirt steak

  • 2 tbsp olive oil

  • 1 tsp chili powder

  • 1 tsp smoked paprika

  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder

  • Salt & black pepper, to taste

  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced

  • 1 yellow bell pepper, sliced

  • 1 small red onion, sliced

  • 6 cups mixed greens (romaine, spinach, or arugula)

  • 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

  • 1/2 cup corn kernels (fresh, canned, or roasted)

  • 1/2 avocado, sliced

  • Optional: shredded cheese, jalapeños, or black beans

For the Dressing

  • 3 tbsp olive oil

  • 1 tbsp lime juice

  • 1 tsp honey

  • 1/2 tsp cumin

  • Salt & pepper, to taste


Instructions

  1. Marinate steak: Rub steak with olive oil, chili powder, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Let sit 15–30 minutes.

  2. Cook steak: Heat a skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Cook steak 4–5 minutes per side (or until desired doneness). Let rest 5 minutes, then slice thinly against the grain.

  3. Sauté veggies: In the same skillet, sauté bell peppers and onions until tender-crisp (about 5–6 minutes).

  4. Assemble salad: In a large bowl, combine greens, cherry tomatoes, corn, avocado, and cooked veggies. Top with sliced steak.

  5. Dress & serve: Whisk together dressing ingredients and drizzle over salad. Toss gently and enjoy!
