Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz flank steak or sirloin, thinly sliced
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 tbsp fresh lime juice
  • 2 cups mixed greens (baby spinach, arugula, kale)
  • 1 cup cooked quinoa or brown rice
  • 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/2 cup cucumber, diced
  • 1/4 cup red bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup shredded carrots
  • 1/4 cup sliced avocado (optional)
  • 2 tbsp fresh lime juice (for dressing)
  • 1 tbsp orange juice (freshly squeezed)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil (for dressing)
  • 1 tsp honey or maple syrup
  • 1 tbsp orange-flavored liqueur or splash of triple sec (optional)
  • 1/2 tsp Dijon mustard
  • Salt and pepper, to taste (for dressing)
  • Fresh cilantro or parsley, roughly chopped (optional garnish)
  • Toasted pumpkin seeds or sliced almonds (optional garnish)
  • Thin lime wedges for serving (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, smoked paprika, lime juice, salt, and pepper. Toss the thinly sliced steak strips in the marinade, coating each piece well. Let sit for 10 minutes or up to 20 minutes for more flavor.
  2. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Add steak strips in a single layer (cook in batches if needed). Cook 2-3 minutes per side until browned but still juicy. Remove from heat and let rest briefly.
  3. In a large bowl, combine mixed greens and cooked quinoa or brown rice. Add halved cherry tomatoes, diced cucumber, sliced bell peppers, and shredded carrots. Slice avocado just before assembling if using.
  4. In a small bowl or jar, whisk together lime juice, orange juice, olive oil, honey, orange liqueur (if using), Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper. Adjust seasoning to taste.
  5. Drizzle dressing over the salad base and toss gently to coat. Arrange cooked steak strips on top. Garnish with fresh herbs and toasted seeds or nuts. Serve immediately with lime wedges.

Notes

Marinate steak for at least 10 minutes for best flavor. Avoid overcrowding the pan to get a good sear. Use fresh citrus juices for the dressing. Shake dressing in a jar for better emulsification. Cook quinoa ahead if short on time. For non-alcoholic dressing, omit orange liqueur and add extra orange juice.
