Sirloin Steak Salad

I am excited to spill the beans about a project I worked on over the summer! I teamed up with Pre-Brands to create recipes for their new packaging! You might remember Pre-Brands since I have worked with them before, and I regularly use their products in my recipes.

I love Pre-Brands because their beef is 100% grass fed and free of added antibiotics and hormones. Plus, their packaging gives you a 360-degree transparent view of the meat you are buying. You can learn where to buy Pre-Brands beef right here.

The first recipe that I am going to share with you is for a Sirloin Steak Salad. I love this recipe because it is really quick and easy to prepare and loaded with protein and vegetables.

While you can use any cut of steak to top your salad, I like sirloin since it is a bit leaner. I have paired the steak with spinach, blue cheese, walnuts, tomatoes, and a balsamic dressing to compliment the beef. It’s a bold flavor combination – I especially like the steak and blue cheese together.

This salad is hearty enough to be split in half and shared. It’s also a nice way to serve any leftover steak you have.
