Grilled Steak Mango Salad with Avocado Buttermilk Ranch Dressing
- Cooking Method: Grilling
- Prep Time: 20 minutes
- Cook Time: 10 minutes
- Cuisine Type: Fusion
Ingredients
- 1 lb flank steak
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 ripe mango, peeled and diced
- 4 cups mixed greens
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 small red onion, thinly sliced
- 1 ripe avocado
- ½ cup buttermilk
- ¼ cup mayonnaise
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp chopped fresh dill
- 1 tbsp chopped fresh chives
- Juice of 1 lime
Cooking Instructions
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (around 400°F).
- Rub the flank steak with olive oil and season generously with salt and pepper.
- Grill the steak for 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or to your preferred doneness.
- While the steak is grilling, prepare the dressing. In a blender, combine the avocado, buttermilk, mayonnaise, garlic, dill, chives, and lime juice. Blend until smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Once the steak is done, let it rest for 5 minutes. This helps keep all those tasty juices inside.
- Meanwhile, in a large salad bowl, combine the mixed greens, mango, cherry tomatoes, and red onion.
- Slice the steak thinly against the grain and add it to the salad.
- Drizzle the avocado buttermilk ranch dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine.
Suggestions
- Alternative Ingredients: Swap the flank steak for grilled chicken or tofu for a vegetarian twist.
- Garnishing Options: Add a sprinkle of crumbled feta cheese or roasted sunflower seeds for extra crunch and flavor.
- Cooking Tips: Make sure to let the steak rest before slicing to ensure juiciness. Also, you can use store-bought ranch dressing if you’re in a hurry.
