Steak Salad with California Citrus and Avocado

This quick and easy recipe is a tasty and nutritious option for lunch or dinner. American-raised beef, fresh California produce, and naan bread create a simple salad with tons of flavor!

SERVINGS: 2
PREP TIME: 10 minutes
COOK TIME: 20 minutes
TOTAL TIME: 30 minutes

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 boneless top sirloin steak (about 1/2 lb), cut 1" thick
  • 6 teaspoons olive oil, divided
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt, divided
  • 3/4 teaspoon pepper, divided
  • 1 large navel orange
  • 1 large California Avocado
  • 2 pieces of naan bread (about 3 oz. each)
  • 4 cups mixed salad greens

COOKING INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Rub both sides of the beef steak with one teaspoon olive oil; sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper.
  2. Cut the bottom and top off the orange. Remove the remaining skin from the orange; cut it into segments; reserve. Cut the avocado in half; remove the pit, but do not peel. Squeeze juice from the orange’s two cut ends over the avocado’s cut sides, then brush with 1 teaspoon olive oil. Sprinkle with the remaining salt.
  3. Brush both sides of the naan bread with two teaspoons of olive oil.
  4. Place steak on grid over medium, ash-covered coals. Grill, covered, 11 to 15 minutes (over medium heat on preheated gas grill, covered, 13 to 16 minutes) for medium-rare (145°F) to medium (160°F) doneness, turning occasionally. During the last 2 to 3 minutes of grilling, place avocado, cut side down, and naan bread on the grill; turn bread once.
  5. Meanwhile, toss the salad greens with the remaining olive oil and pepper. Add orange segments to the salad. Remove the skin from the grilled avocado. Cut the avocado into slices; add to the salad and toss gently. Carve the steak into thin slices; place on top of the salad. Cut the naan into wedges; arrange them around the salad.
