Print Recipe

A quick and easy summer power meal combining smoky grilled steak, sweet grilled peaches, fresh greens, and a tangy dressing for a refreshing yet satisfying salad.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb flank steak or skirt steak
  • 2 tbsp olive oil (for brushing and marinade)
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 3 ripe peaches, halved and pitted
  • 6 cups mixed salad greens (arugula, baby spinach, radicchio mix)
  • 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese or goat cheese
  • 1/4 cup toasted pecans or walnuts
  • 1/4 small red onion, thinly sliced
  • 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, mix olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Rub evenly over both sides of the flank steak. Let rest at room temperature for 15-20 minutes.
  2. Preheat grill to medium-high heat (about 450°F). Clean and oil the grates.
  3. Grill steak for 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare (internal temperature ~130°F). Avoid flipping multiple times.
  4. Remove steak and let rest on a cutting board for 10 minutes.
  5. Brush peach halves with olive oil. Grill cut side down for 3-4 minutes until grill marks appear and fruit softens slightly.
  6. Whisk together olive oil, balsamic vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper until emulsified.
  7. In a large bowl, combine mixed greens and red onion slices. Drizzle half the dressing and toss gently.
  8. Thinly slice rested steak against the grain. Cut grilled peaches into wedges.
  9. Arrange dressed greens on plates, top with steak slices and peach wedges. Sprinkle with feta and toasted nuts. Drizzle remaining dressing over the top.
  10. Serve immediately while steak and peaches are warm.

Notes

Resting the steak after grilling is essential for juiciness. Use a sharp knife to slice steak against the grain for tenderness. If no grill is available, a cast-iron skillet can be used but will lack smoky flavor. Store steak and peaches separately from greens and dressing if making ahead to avoid sogginess.
