What other cuts of steak could I use if I don’t have petite sirloin?

You can make this recipe with filet mignon, ribeye, New York strip, top sirloin, center cut sirloin or flank steak. You will need to adjust the cooking time based on the cut of meat you are using.

I just have a regular cut petite sirloin, not thin cut, how do I adjust the cooking time?

For a regular cut petite sirloin, cook 3-4 minutes per side for medium rare, adding 1 minute if you prefer more medium/medium well.

What grains pair well with arugula?

Hearty grains like farro, quinoa, wild rice or pearl couscous pair beautifully with the peppery arugula.

Can I make this salad ahead of time?

Prep steps you can do ahead of time are marinate the steak, make the dressing and keep in an airtight container in the fridge, pickle the radishes and keep in a jar or container in the fridge and chop/wash your veggies/greens. Wait until ready to serve to cook the steak and toss everything together.

Instructions

STEAK

Whisk together all ingredients. Place steak in a shallow dish, pat dry, season with salt and pepper and pour over marinade. Let marinate for at least 30 minutes and up to 3 hours in the fridge. Let steak come to room temp before cooking. Heat a grill or grill pan over medium high heat and brush with avocado oil. Sear the steak for 1-2 minutes per side for medium rare. For medium to medium well add another minute of cook time per side. Remove from heat and let rest for 15 minutes. Thinly slice against the grain.

RADISHES

While the steak is marinating make the radishes. Warm the vinegar in the microwave for about 30 seconds. Whisk in the salt, honey and water until the salt and honey are completely dissolved. Thinly slice the radishes. I like to use my mandolin for this but you can also use a sharp knife. Place the radishes in a jar and pour the pickling liquid on top. Set aside for 15-20 minutes, then they’re ready!

DRESSING

Shake together lemon, olive oil and honey in a salad shaker or jar. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

SALAD

Assemble the salad by layering together arugula, butter lettuce and microgreens. Top with mint, green onions, radishes, snap peas, steak, goat cheese and crispy onions. Drizzle with dressing and toss to combine. DIG IN!
