Fava Bean and Steak Salad

Ingredients

• Steak (1 pound, cut into steaks)
• Salt (to taste)
• Black pepper (to taste)
• Olive oil (3 tablespoons, divided)
• Dijon mustard (1 tablespoon)
• Lemon juice (2 tablespoons)
• Fresh mint leaves (1/4 cup, chopped)
• Feta cheese (1/2 cup, crumbled)
• Red onion (1/2, thinly sliced)
• Cherry tomatoes (1 cup, halved)
• Mixed greens (4 cups)
• Fava beans (1 cup, cooked and shelled)

Instructions

1. Season the steak generously with salt and pepper. Heat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Cook the steak for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until it reaches your desired level of doneness. Remove from heat and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing thinly against the grain.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the fava beans, mixed greens, halved cherry tomatoes, thinly sliced red onion, crumbled feta cheese, and chopped mint leaves.
3. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, Dijon mustard, and additional salt and pepper to taste to create a flavorful vinaigrette.
4. Drizzle the vinaigrette over the salad and toss gently to coat all ingredients evenly.
5. To serve, divide the salad mixture onto plates and top with the freshly sliced steak. Drizzle with the remaining tablespoon of olive oil if desired.
6. Enjoy immediately while the steak is warm and the flavors are fresh!
