How to Make Steak Salad With Spicy Garlic Salsa

  1. **Prepare the Salsa:** In a tightly sealed container, combine 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro, 1/4 cup finely chopped red onion, 2 cloves minced garlic, 1 jalapeño pepper, seeded and minced (adjust to your spice preference), 1/4 cup lime juice, 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Shake well to combine.
  2. **Set Aside Salsa:** Reserve 1/4 cup of the prepared salsa. Stir in 1/4 cup chopped green onions and 1/2 cup chopped tomatoes to the remaining salsa.
  3. **Grill the Steak and Pepper:** Preheat your grill to medium heat (approximately 4-5 inches above the heat source). Season a 1-pound sirloin steak generously with salt and pepper. Grill the steak for 15-20 minutes, turning once halfway through, until desired doneness is reached. Simultaneously grill one green bell pepper, cut into large chunks, frequently turning, until slightly charred (about 10-12 minutes).
  4. **Prep the Steak and Pepper:** Once cooked, let the steak rest for 5 minutes before slicing it into 1/4-inch thick strips. Cut the grilled bell pepper into strips.
  5. **Toss the Steak:** Toss the sliced steak with the reserved 1/4 cup of salsa.
  6. **Assemble the Salad:** In a large bowl, combine 5 ounces of romaine lettuce, the grilled bell pepper strips, 1 cup sliced mushrooms, and the salsa-tossed steak.
  7. **Add Salsa and Toss:** Add the remaining salsa mixture (with green onions and tomatoes) to the salad and gently toss to combine.
  8. **Serve:** Serve immediately and enjoy!
