Course: dinner, Lunch, Main Course
Keyword: cilantro lime, steak, taco salad

Ingredients

  • 1/2 lb New York Steak or Boneless Ribeye Steak
  • 1/2 bag Salad Greens approx. 3-4 cups
  • 1/4 Red Onion
  • 1/2 cup Mini Heirloom Tomatoes diced
  • 2 Persian Cucumbers diced
  • 1/2 Orange Bell Pepper diced
  • 1 cup Roasted Corn
  • 1/2 cup Black Beans from 15oz can of Black Beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1/2 Avocado
  • Shredded Cheese Blend optional, for topping
  • Sour Cream optional, for topping

For Cilantro Lime Crema

  • 1/4 cup Cashews
  • 1/2 cup + 2 tbsp Water
  • 3 cloves Garlic
  • 2 Limes squeezed
  • 1.5 cups Cilantro
  • 1 tsp Kosher Salt
  • 1/4 tsp Black Pepper
  • 2 tbsp Olive Oil
  • 1 tbsp Agave Syrup
  • 1/2 Avocado

Instructions

  • Season steak with salt and let sit for up to an hour to tenderize.
  • Meanwhile, prep the cilantro lime crema by adding hot water over the cashews and setting them aside to soak for at least 10 minutes. Then, roughly chop cilantro and garlic.
  • Add cilantro, garlic, and half of an avocado into a high-speed blender. Squeeze in 2 limes, then add water, salt, pepper, olive oil, and agave syrup.
  • Once cashews have soaked for at least 10 minutes, rinse and drain before adding into the blender. Blend on medium-high speed until ingredients are well-combined. Set aside.
  • To prepare the salad, dice the mini heirloom tomatoes, cucumbers, and orange bell pepper. Then, slice the red onion.
  • Add the tomatoes, cucumbers, bell pepper, and onion into a large bowl with the salad greens. Then, add the roasted corn and black beans, and toss to combine. *Note: if using frozen corn, add to a microwave-safe bowl, cover with water and a small plate, and microwave on high for 2-3 minutes, until corn has thawed, before adding to salad.
  • Cook steak in a skillet over medium high heat, searing each side until desired doneness is reached (I prefer my steak to be cooked medium). Let steak rest for up to 5 minutes before slicing.
  • To serve, add steak over top of salad and drizzle with cilantro lime crema. Optional to serve with sliced avocado, sour cream, and shredded cheese.
