I'm not a big red meat eater, but when I do I like pairing my steak with a salad.
My typical Fresh Salads include:
- Greens (Spinach, Green/Red Leaf Lettuce or Spring Mix)
- Cucumbers
- Bell Peppers
- Tomatoes
Asian Beef Salad with Sriracha Honey Dressing - click here for the recipe!

I think that Steaks are best cooked on a grill.
However, if you live in an apartment complex (like Mike and I do) then you need to use a Cast Iron Griddle, like this one found at World Market for only $19.99. Or a cast iron skillet (and oven) combination - I have not tried myself.
Last night we cooked a Flat Iron steak.
Mike used Montreal steak seasoning, worchester and black pepper.
I grilled onions with EVOO to top our steak!
On the Griddle it took almost 20 mins for the steak to cook. This is NOT common for outdoor grills, which my dad claims steaks should be cooked only for 5 mins on eat side.
Steak is something I hope to master one-day!
