Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
  • 3 tbsp red wine vinegar
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1/2 tsp dried oregano
  • 1/2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes (adjust to taste)
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced
  • 2 plum tomatoes, diced
  • 1 london broil beef steak (about 1 lb)
  • 1 bell pepper, any color, seeded and halved
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 6 cups romaine lettuce or mixed salad greens

Instructions

  1. Prepare Spicy Garlic Salsa:

    • In a tightly sealed container, combine olive oil, chopped parsley, red wine vinegar, lemon juice, dried oregano, crushed red pepper flakes, and minced garlic. Shake well. Set aside 1/4 cup of this mixture for later use.
  2. Prepare Tomato and Green Onion Mixture:

    • To the remaining salsa mixture, stir in sliced green onions and diced tomatoes. This will be used to dress the salad later.
  3. Grill Steak and Bell Pepper:

    • Preheat your grill to medium heat.
    • Grill the steak and bell pepper halves for 15 to 20 minutes, covered, turning the steak once and the pepper frequently, until desired doneness is reached.
  4. Season and Slice Steak:

    • Remove steak from the grill and sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste.
    • Let the steak rest for a few minutes, then slice it thinly against the grain into 1/4 inch slices.
  5. Assemble the Salad:

    • Cut the grilled bell pepper into strips.
    • In a large bowl, combine romaine lettuce or mixed greens with bell pepper strips, sliced mushrooms (if using), and the sliced steak.
  6. Final Assembly:

    • Add the reserved 1/4 cup of spicy garlic salsa (from step 1) to the salad.
    • Toss everything together gently to coat the salad evenly with the salsa, tomato, and green onion mixture.
  7. Serve:

    • Divide the salad onto plates or into bowls.
    • Optionally, garnish with additional chopped parsley or a sprinkle of crushed red pepper flakes for extra spice.
