Ingredients
Instructions
- Pat the ranch steak dry with paper towels. Season both sides with half the garlic powder, half the oregano, salt and pepper. Heat a drizzle of cooking oil in a medium pan over medium-high heat. Add the steak and cook until browned and cooked to your liking, 5-7 minutes per side. Remove from pan and let rest.
- While the steak cooks, wash and dry the produce. Finely chop the dill fronds. Trim the mini cucumber, halve lengthwise and slice crosswise into half-moons. Halve the grape tomatoes.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the Greek vinaigrette, yogurt, a drizzle of olive oil and as much chopped dill as you like. Add the cucumber, tomatoes, mixed greens and feta cheese. Toss to combine. Taste and season with salt and pepper.
- Slice the rested steak crosswise against the grain. Divide the salad among plates. Top with the sliced steak and sprinkle with sliced almonds. Serve immediately.
Recipe Tips
For best results, let the steak rest for a few minutes before slicing to keep it juicy.
Feel free to adjust the amount of dill in the dressing to suit your taste.
If you prefer your steak more well-done, cook an extra minute or two per side.
