This Arugula Steak Salad with Balsamic Vinaigrette Dressing is very colorful, light, crunchy, flavorful, refreshing and satisfying, it is sure to impress! If your New Year’s resolution is to eat healthily or whether you want to detox your body I would recommend adding this superfood - ARUGULA to your diet. While most green vegetables are considered healthy and nutritious, arugula does stand out among the rest of the greens do to very low in calorie but high in calcium, iron and other nutrients.

Who not love salads? Especially super tasty and nutritions like this one! Honestly, I cannot leave without salads. I love how full and light you feel after devouring a plate of salad with a delicious garlic avocado and cheese toast made out of homemade dark rye bread (I will post the recipe of it as well sometime).

I use arugula for this salad but you may use any of lettuce of your choice. While most green vegetables are considered healthy and nutritious, arugula do stand out among the rest of the greens do to very low in calorie but high in calcium, iron and other nutrients.

Instructions on How to Sear Steak

First of all, I prefer to soak and rinse the meat before use. That way any topical bacteria or red dye gets rinsed off (this is totally optional and you may skip this step). Pep dry the steak with a paper towel and dip each side into the prepared seasoning.

Next, add a couple tablespoons of olive oil into a skillet and heat on high heat for a few minutes (heat about 5 to 7 minutes if using a cast iron skillet) or as soon as you see the first sight of smoke.

Finally, place seasoned steak and sear for about 3 to 5 minutes one side, then flip the steak over and sear the other side for 2 to 3 minutes for a medium rear. You may adjust the searing time to less if you prefer rear stake or a bit more for a well-done steak. Remove from a skillet and let the steak rest and cool for 10 minutes before slicing and placing on salad.

Assembling the Salad

In the mean, while rinse and slice vegetables cucumber, shallot, and cherry tomatoes. Place arugula (about 2.5 oz/70g) onto a serving plate. Then beautifully lay out sliced vegetables. Slice cooled steak and place on salad.
