Ingredients:

Steak:
3/4 lb. Skirt Steak
Salt and Pepper
1 Tbsp. Avocado Oil

Salad:
4 cups Chopped Broccoli
1 cup Chopped Radishes
1 cup Shredded Carrots
1/4 cup Pumpkin Seeds
1 Avocado, ½ cubed and ½ sliced
1 Tbsp. minced Basil

Dressing:
1/4 cup Basil
1 Lemon, juiced
1/2 Tbsp. Red Wine Vinegar
1 clove Garlic, grated
1 tsp. Honey
3 tbsp. Olive Oil
1 tsp. Dijon Mustard
Salt and Pepper

 

Directions:

Preheat your oven to 375 degrees. Once hot, place a seasoned cast iron pan in the oven to heat for 15 minutes. Once hot, set the pan over a burner set to medium-high heat and add the avocado oil. Season the skirt steak on both sides with salt and pepper and place it in the pan. Sear the steak on both sides for 1-2 minutes, then place the pan in the oven until it is done to your liking. Allow it to rest for 10 minutes before slicing across the grain.

Prepare the dressing by combining all dressing ingredients to a blender or food processor and blend quickly. Season the dressing with salt and pepper.

Add the broccoli, radishes, carrots, pumpkin seeds, the cubed avocado and minced basil to a large bowl. Toss the salad with the basil dressing. Top the salad with sliced avocado and steak.
