0/0 done

Cold steak sliced thin against the grain over crisp greens with a lemon-Dijon dressing.

Ingredients
  • 400-500 g leftover cooked steak
  • 2 heads romaine or 200 g mixed greens
  • 1 cucumber, sliced
  • 250 g cherry tomatoes, halved
  • Quarter of a red onion, slivered
  • 60 g olive oil
  • 20 g lemon juice
  • 5 g Dijon mustard
  • Pinch of sea salt

Click an ingredient once it's in the bowl.

Method
  1. Slice the cold steak as thin as you can against the grain — short fibers are what make cold steak tender instead of chewy.
  2. Whisk the olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon, and salt into a dressing.
  3. Toss the greens, cucumber, tomatoes, and onion with most of the dressing; lay the steak over and drizzle the rest on the meat.
Notes
  • Works the same with leftover burger patties or roast chicken.
