Quick Summary

This lean beef and avocado salad combines grilled sirloin with crisp greens, radish, and a zesty lime dressing. It is a perfect, nutrient-dense lunch or dinner that takes under 20 minutes to assemble.

Ingredients

1 lb Lean Top Sirloin, trimmed
2 ripe Avocados, sliced
4 cups Baby Arugula or Spinach
1 cup Cherry Tomatoes, halved

1/2 Red Onion, thinly sliced
2 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 tbsp Fresh Lime Juice
Sea salt and cracked black pepper

Method

1. Season the beef with salt and pepper. Grill or pan-sear over medium-high heat for 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare. Rest for 5 minutes.
2. While the meat rests, whisk the olive oil, lime juice, and a pinch of salt in a small bowl.
3. Thinly slice the rested beef against the grain.
4. Arrange greens on plates. Top with beef, avocado slices, tomatoes, and onion. Drizzle with the lime dressing.

Stewart's Secret: Let your beef rest for at least five minutes before slicing. This keeps the juices inside the meat, ensuring every bite is tender rather than chewy.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make this ahead of time?

Yes, but keep the dressing and avocado separate until ready to serve to prevent wilting and browning.

What is the best cut of beef to use?

Top sirloin, flank steak, or tenderloin work best as they are lean and cook quickly.

Is this suitable for meal prep?

It is, provided you store the beef and vegetables in separate airtight containers.
