Italian Steak Salad

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat the grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Season the steak with salt and pepper. Grill the steak for 4-5 minutes per side, or until cooked to your desired level of doneness. Let the steak rest for a few minutes before slicing it into thin strips.

   Tip: Use a meat thermometer to ensure the steak is cooked to a safe internal temperature.

2. 2

   In a large bowl, combine the mixed greens, cucumber, red onion, and red bell pepper.

   Tip: Use a large enough bowl to hold all the ingredients without overcrowding.

3. 3

   In a small bowl, whisk together the Italian dressing and croutons until well combined. Add the Parmesan cheese and stir until melted.

   Tip: Adjust the amount of croutons to your liking.

4. 4

   Add the sliced steak to the bowl with the mixed greens. Drizzle the Italian dressing over the top and toss to combine.

   Tip: Use a pair of tongs or a large serving spoon to toss the salad.

5. 5

   Sprinkle the chopped basil, Kalamata olives, artichoke hearts, and shaved Parmesan cheese over the top of the salad.

   Tip: Add as much or as little of each ingredient to your liking.

6. 6

   Drizzle the olive oil over the salad and toss to combine.

   Tip: Use a small amount of olive oil to avoid overpowering the salad.

7. 7

   Season the salad with salt and pepper to taste.
