This Middle Eastern Steak Salad is one of my go to meals when I want something impressive but don't have much time. The whole thing comes together in under an hour, and honestly, most of that is just letting the steak rest. I love how the fresh parsley isn't just a garnish here, it's a real star of the dish and packed with vitamin K for bone health. The combination of tender, seasoned beef with crisp vegetables, creamy feta, and that bright sumac dressing just feels special, yet it's so simple to pull together. Even better, it won't break the bank since you're stretching a modest amount of steak across plenty of greens and fresh ingredients.
