Miso Marinated Steak Salad with Avocado Recipe
Meghan Yager | Cake 'n KnifeMiso Marinated Steak Salad is the balanced blend of Asian flavors with steak, fresh greens, and vegetables. From the marinade to the dressing, all the elements make every bite pop.
Being balanced in my diet is a challenge daily. There are the things that I want to make, but I also need to be mindful of the food I am putting in my body.
For me, diets are all about balance. I am not going to cut out carbs, I am not going to slash calories in half, and I am not going to live off of only healthy recipes for the rest of my life.
That’s precisely why I made this salad. It’s got the meat yumminess but a bunch of greens and vegetables as well to balance it all out.
To me, salads need to be hearty if I am going to eat them as a main dish, and this miso marinated steak salad doesn’t disappoint.
The marinade is super flavor, with a white miso base that will blow your mind. All you have to do is roast the steak in the oven for about 15 minutes (or longer if you want it medium to medium well).
While you do that, you can easily put together the dressing and salad base! The whole meal only takes about 20 minutes of active cooking/prep time.
Pro tip: Marinate the steak overnight so you can get the most flavor and dinner will be a breeze when you get home!
You can even make this meal for meal prep for your lunches! Just keep the dressing separate from the salad and cooked steak.
The steak actually tastes really good cold, but you can also reheat it separate from the salad if you prefer the blend of hot steak and cold greens/veggies.
