This chopped steak salad is restaurant quality with a decidedly more friendly price tag!
Not only is it flavorful, it also packs a serious nutritional punch. Grass-fed steak is a lean protein source that’s high in omega-3 fatty acids, and the rainbow of veggies is loaded with detoxifying antioxidants.
Feel free to invite any other vegetables you have on hand to the party – broccoli, green beans, and zucchini are all delicious additions.
Flank Steak Bistro Chopped Salad is the first recipe in our French Bistro menu, to be joined by Halibut en Papillote; Grilled Endive with Shallot-Bacon Vinaigrette; and Frozen Chocolate Raspberry Ripple.
