Instructions
-
Marinate the Steak:
Begin by marinating the beef steak in the gluten-free tamari sauce. Allow it to soak for a few minutes to absorb the rich, savory flavors of the tamari. -
Prepare the Salad:
While the steak marinates, assemble the salad. In a large bowl, combine the salad greens, sliced red bell pepper, halved cherry tomatoes, and radish slices. Add the olive oil, fresh lemon juice, and a pinch of salt. Toss everything together to ensure the vegetables are evenly coated with the dressing. -
Grill the Steak:
Preheat your grill or stovetop grill pan. Grill the marinated steak to your desired level of doneness, usually around 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare. Once cooked, transfer the steak to a platter on top of the prepared salad. -
Rest and Slice the Steak:
Let the steak sit for about 1 minute after grilling. This helps retain the juices inside the steak. After resting, slice the steak crosswise into thin strips and arrange over the salad. -
Serve:
Serve immediately and enjoy this vibrant and satisfying salad!
