Ingredients
  

1 lb (450g) flank steak

2 cups mixed greens (arugula, spinach, and kale)

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1 cucumber, diced

1 avocado, sliced

1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced

1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled

1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped

1 lemon, juiced and zested

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 tablespoon honey

1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

Salt and pepper to taste

Optional: 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes for heat

Instructions
 

Marinate the Steak: In a mixing bowl, combine the lemon juice, lemon zest, olive oil, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper. Add the flank steak to the marinade and let it sit for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator for more flavor).

    Cook the Steak: Heat a grill or a skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the steak from the marinade and season with additional salt and pepper. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness. Remove from heat and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing it thinly against the grain.

      Prepare the Salad Base: In a large salad bowl, combine the mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, and avocado. Toss gently to combine.

        Assemble: Layer the sliced steak over the prepared salad. Sprinkle with crumbled feta cheese and freshly chopped parsley.

          Dress the Salad: Drizzle any remaining marinade over the salad (or a bit more olive oil and lemon juice if preferred) and sprinkle with red pepper flakes if you're looking for a bit of heat.

            Serve: Toss the salad gently to coat all ingredients in the dressing and serve immediately. Enjoy your fresh and vibrant Lemon & Beef Salad Bowl!
