Tips:
- Choose the right cut of beef: For this recipe, flank steak or skirt steak are good choices. They are both relatively thin and cook quickly, making them ideal for a salad.
- Marinate the beef: Marinating the beef helps to tenderize it and add flavor. You can use a simple marinade made with olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and herbs, or you can get more creative with your ingredients.
- Cook the beef properly: The key to a great beef salad is to cook the beef to the desired doneness. For a medium-rare steak, cook it for about 3-4 minutes per side. For a medium steak, cook it for about 4-5 minutes per side. And for a well-done steak, cook it for about 5-6 minutes per side.
- Make the lemon vinaigrette: The lemon vinaigrette is a simple but flavorful dressing that really brings the salad together. Be sure to use fresh lemon juice and good quality olive oil.
- Assemble the salad: Once the beef is cooked and the vinaigrette is made, it's time to assemble the salad. Simply add the beef, arugula, tomatoes, cucumbers, and onions to a large bowl and toss to combine. Then, drizzle the vinaigrette over the salad and toss again to coat.
Conclusion:
This Mediterranean beef salad is a delicious and refreshing meal that is perfect for a summer lunch or dinner. It's also a great way to use up leftover steak. With its tender beef, flavorful vinaigrette, and fresh vegetables, this salad is sure to please everyone at your table.
