Steak Cobb Salads are the best, right? In my house we eat a lot of salads: chicken salads, vegetarian salads, and quinoa salads to name a few. But sometimes switching things up with flank steak in our salad is just what our bodies are craving! This salad can be made for an easy weeknight dinner or to meal prep for lunches. If you prep in advance, be sure to keep the dressing on the side so the lettuce doesn’t wilt. In my version I left out the bacon, but it’s of course totally delicious with it! You can always opt for turkey bacon as well.
What you’ll need for this easy meal prep salad:
(For the full recipe, scroll down to the recipe card below)
Flank steak Salt & pepper Butter Leafy greens Tomatoes Blue cheese Pine Nuts Hard Boiled Eggs (Bacon is optional, I didn’t use in mine!)
Pat the trimmed steak completely dry with paper towels and then let it rest at room temperature for at least 20 minutes (this will prevent your pan from losing heat quickly and from “shocking” the meat). Generously season the steak on both sides with salt and pepper – I love using Maldon salt! Heat the olive oil in a cast-iron over medium-high heat. When the oil is hot, carefully place the flank steak in the pan and sear it for 4-5 minutes on one side, until the bottom is browned–do not move the steak at all. Flip the steak, reduce the heat to medium and add the butter. Hold the pan handle with one hand (use a towel, as it will be hot) and tilt the pan slightly, use your other hand to spoon the melted, bubbling butter mixture over the steak repeatedly until it is cooked to medium-rare (about 10 minutes). Remove the steak from the pan and allow it to rest on a cutting board for at least 5 minutes. Slice against the grain and cut into cubes or slices for your salad. Mix until fully blended. Add water by the tablespoon to get it to the consistency you like (it should be pourable). Season with salt and pepper and pour on steak cobb.
