Juicy Steak and Bean Salad Recipe Is a Refreshing Bowl of Deliciousness
I’m a meat and potatoes kinda guy. But sometimes I like to switch things up with a dish that’s a little fresher yet just as delicious. That’s why I love this Steak and Bean Salad recipe. I still get that juicy sirloin I crave. Plus, the salad is packed with hearty ingredients so, it definitely satisfies a hungry appetite.
Bottled dressings are easy to upgrade with things like citrus zest, herbs, capers and more. We start with red wine vinaigrette and toss in chopped cilantro. The mixture does-double duty as a marinade for the meat and dressing for the salad. For even more fast flavor, once marinated, the sirloin gets rubbed with a mixture of cumin, garlic powder and cayenne. It cooks up to medium-rare perfection! Serve it over baby spinach, tomatoes, fiber-rich chickpeas and red beans. Tune into our video, give it a try then leave us a comment.
