How to Make Asian Steak And Spinach Salad

1. Wash the spinach thoroughly and spin dry in a salad spinner.
2. Place the spinach in a large salad bowl and set aside.
3. In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons olive oil, minced garlic, lime juice, brown sugar, and soy sauce. Set aside.
4. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat.
5. Add the thinly sliced red onion and sauté for 2 minutes, stirring constantly, until softened.
6. Transfer the cooked onion to the salad bowl with the spinach.
7. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil to the skillet.
8. Season the steak generously with salt and pepper.
9. Sear the steak for 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare, or to your desired doneness. Use a meat thermometer to ensure it reaches your preferred internal temperature.
10. Remove the steak from the skillet and let it rest on a cutting board for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
11. Pour off excess oil from the skillet, leaving behind any browned bits.
12. Add the soy-lime mixture to the skillet and turn the heat to medium-high.
13. Deglaze the pan by scraping up any browned bits from the bottom with a wooden spoon or spatula, stirring constantly for 1-2 minutes.
14. Reduce heat to low to keep the sauce warm.
15. Slice the rested steak thinly against the grain.
16. Arrange the steak slices over the onion and spinach in the salad bowl.
17. Drizzle the warm sauce over the salad.
18. Sprinkle with chopped cilantro and peanuts (if using).
19. Serve immediately and enjoy!
