This asian steak salad has been one of my favorite simple meals to throw together for years! You can switch up the protein and use chicken, shrimp, or edamame! If you have the desire, you can also make your own homemade dressing, but I absolutely love the Sesame Ginger dressing by Newman’s Own.
I used to meal prep this salad for the full week! I would often make 2-3 salads with steak and then the other 2-3 with edamame so I wasn’t eating 6 day old steak. If you keep the dressing on the side, this salad will last 5-6 days in the fridge without getting soggy!
Asian Steak Salad
Servings: 2 | Total Cook Time: 20 minutes
Ingredients:
- 4 cups kale (or mixed greens)
- 2 cups shredded red cabbage
- 1/2 cup shredded carrots
- 1 pear
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes
- 12-16 ounces Angus Sirloin steak (or two 6-8 ounce steaks)
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp pepper
- 2 tbsp avocado oil
- Newman’s Own Sesame Ginger Salad Dressing
Instructions:
- Heat a pan on medium to high heat and add 1 tbsp avocado oil.
- Season steak with salt and pepper, and add to hot pan. Cook for 6-8 minutes on each side and then remove from pan and let rest on a plate or cutting board.
- Take two bowls, and add two cups of kale to each
- Add 1/2 tbsp avocado oil to each bowl and massage the kale with your hands for one minute, or until wilts slightly. This step is important because it helps the kale taste less bitter and tough! (Note, you do not need to do this if you are using mixed green, just with kale).
- Divide the vegetables (cabbage, carrots, and tomatoes) up between the two salad bowls
- Chop the pear into bite sized pieces and the add to both salads
- Cut the steak into strips and then add to each salad
- Drizzle salad dressing over the top and enjoy
Helpful Tips:
- Meal prep this salad in a large mason jar – layer dressing, carrots, cabbage, cherry tomatoes, kale, pear, and steak, close the lid and place in the fridge, When you are ready to eat, shake up the mason jar, pour the contents out onto a plate and enjoy your salad!
- Add edamame for extra protein and fiber, or as an alternative to the steak for a vegetarian meal!
- You can add cooked quinoa to add some carbohydrates to this meal. Quinoa also adds some protein and fiber too!
- Chicken and shrimp also pair nicely with this salad. Switch up the protein each time you make this salad so you don’t get bored!
