Ingredients
- 1 lb flank steak or whichever kind of stead you prefer
- 1 red pepper thinly sliced
- 1 poblano pepper thinly sliced
- ½ onion thinly sliced
- 1 avocado cut into slices or chunks
- A few cherry tomatoes per salad halved
- A few pieces of cubed cheese per salad
- olive oil to taste
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2-4 cups of baby spinach
- Low carb Ceasar salad dressing
Instructions
- I start by lighting my grill's chimney starter to get hot coals. This can take 20 minutes.
- Next, I like to salt and pepper my steak and let it sit at room temperature while I prep everything else.
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
- While I wait for the coals to heat up and the oven to preheat, I thinly sliced the peppers and onion, put them on a cookie sheet, seasoned them with oil, salt, and pepper, then popped them in the oven for 20-25 minutes (or until they are roasted to your liking).
- When the coals were ready, I dumped them into the grill and repositioned the grill grate. Next, I cleaned and lubed my grill grate with some grapeseed oil. Once the grill grate was cleaned and lubed, I threw on the steak. Cook the steak a few minutes per side or until it's cooked to your liking.
- Pull the cooked steak from the grill, tent it with tin foil and let it rest for at least 10 minutes.
- During this time I checked on my veggies in the oven and cut the avocado and tomato. The cheese was already cut up.
- Pull the roasted vegetables from the oven and let them rest while you slice the cooked steak.
- Time for assembly, get 2 salad bowls and place the baby spinach on the bottom of both. Top, the spinach with the roasted vegetables, splitting them evenly between bowls. Do the same with the avocado and cheese. Now top the salad with the steak and pour your dressing over it.
- You can top with other fun ingredients like chopped egg and/or fresh herbs.Enjoy!
Notes
To save time you can cook the steak in a pan or under the broiler.
Not all Caesar Dressings are Keto friendly! Be sure to check the label for the carb and sugar count!
The key to getting this meal on the table in 40 minutes or less is multi-tasking! Chop the peppers and onion while your grill and oven are heating up. Chop your avocado, cheese, and tomato while the cooked meat is resting. You can even chop the peppers and onion 4-5 days ahead of time!
