Juicy marinated flank steak meets peppery arugula, tangy lemon vinaigrette, roasted red peppers, and blue cheese in this vibrant, flavor-packed steak salad recipe!
In a bowl combine soy sauce, red pepper brine, minced garlic, and extra virgin olive oil. Mix well using a whisk.
Add the flank steak to a resealable plastic bag and pour in the marinade. Remove as much air from the bag as possible, seal, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour (or up to 8 hours for deeper flavor).
Cook the Steak
Remove steak from the marinade and pat dry with paper towels. Let it sit at room temperature for about 15 minutes before cooking.
Heat a grill or cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the surface.
Sear the steak on the hot grill for 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or longer if preferred.
Transfer grilled steak to a cutting board and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing thinly against the grain.
Make the Vinaigrette
In a small bowl, whisk together lemon juice, olive oil, roasted red pepper brine, kosher salt, and black pepper until well combined. Set aside.
Assemble the Salad
In a large bowl, toss the fresh arugula with the prepared salad dressing until evenly coated.
Arrange the dressed arugula on a serving platter or individual plates.
Top with sliced grilled flank steak, cherry tomato halves, roasted red pepper strips, and your cheese of choice - crumbled blue cheese, goat cheese, or shaved parmesan for that matter all work well.
Notes
Serve immediately while the steak is warm for the best flavor.Optional: Serve with roasted potatoes for an even more filling dish.This arugula steak salad works magically as a stand alone entree.If you prefer a different steak cut than flank, you can try ribeye, NY strip, or Hanger Steak as really good alternatives.When slicing the steak remember to cut against the grain for maximum tenderness.
