Valentines Grilled Steak Salad

[xray]

I figured I would try to change things up for Valentines day this year. The wife and I are trying to drop a few pounds by eating healthier meals...so I made a quick steak salad.

First, the top sirloin steaks were marinated in a little bit of low sodium soy sauce, Worcestershire, balsamic vinegar, olive oil, black pepper and garlic powder. I threw the steaks in the marinade at noon while home for my lunch break.

Once I returned home, I fired up the grill and threw on sliced onion and poblano peppers.

Poblanos were charred and then covered with cling wrap to help remove the skins easier.

Steak is done and resting.

Once the steaks were ready. The salad was assembled and ready to eat.

I started with a bed of romaine lettuce and then added some cooked quinoa in the middle.

Next, the steak was added along with the grilled onions and poblanos. We also added some sliced avocado and then sprinkled with some olive oil and vinegar.

My plate is the one with the feta cheese crumbles and accumulated steak juices...I’m not adhering to the diet as strict as my wife is! Lol.

I’ll have to say, this was a pretty easy and tasty dinner to prepare. I could definitely eat this more often.

Thanks for looking.

Thanks for the like Yankee. Yeah I always get the eye roll when I make the grill marks, I guess my wife and friends think I play with my food too much.

Between the quinoa, steak and avocado, I was stuffed...but in a good way, I didn’t feel bloated and like I needed a nap.

That... looks good enough to eat!
Happy Delicious Valentines Day!

Thanks Sonny, happy belated valentines day to you as well! I would have liked to have cooked steak and lobster with a lot of butter...but the wife started this new diet and I have started eating healthy along with her. I love to eat healthy but sometimes it just takes more time prepping and cooking.

Yikes, I grill all year long in PA, it’s definitely tougher in the winter. It was about 25F when I started the grill....I wouldn’t be caught dead outside in -15.

Thanks Disco and thanks for the like! Ha, I didn’t know if you liked candy and flowers, so I made you a salad!

Thanks again, but I was going for something quick and easy.

Thanks and thank you for the like. We eat a lot of salads around here too whether it’s steak, shrimp or chicken. The choices are endless.

My wife and I are trying to incorporate more grains with them, kinda like the power bowls that people eat now.

Here’s a good chicken one I did with the Sous Vide. It didn’t get a lot of traction since SV was still pretty new around here...lots of folks seem to have them now. But you could grill the chicken instead.
