Serves 4
Ingredients:
Salad
1 pound Flank Steak (ideally antibiotic free and/or 100% grass fed)
2 peaches, sliced
2-3 slices of pre-cooked bacon (uncured)
1 large red onion, peeled and sliced
3-4 tablespoons pecans
1 avocado, peeled, pitted, sliced
½ cup coconut or Bragg aminos
1 teaspoon sea salt
1 teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder
4 cups spinach/arugula mix or field green mix
Peach Vinaigrette dressing
1 large peach
2 garlic cloves, peeled
¼ cup olive or avocado oil
4 tablespoons white wine vinegar
1 teaspoon sea salt
1 teaspoon pepper
1 tablespoon Dijon Mustard
1 tablespoon coconut or Bragg aminos
Instructions:
- 1. Place the steak in a silicone bag or shallow dish. In a small bowl, add ½ cup coconut or Bragg aminos, salt, pepper and garlic powder. Mix together and pour over the flank steak. Seal the bag or cover the dish and place in the refrigerator to marinate, ideally overnight.
- 2. Prepare the grill. Ideal temperature is 425°
- 3. Take the flank steak out of the refrigerator about 10-15 minutes prior grilling.
- 4. Prep salad ingredients. Slice the peaches, onions, and avocados and set aside. Fruit works better on the grill if firm and cut into larger, thicker pieces. Set out the pecans and lettuces.
- 5. Make the dressing. Place all the dressing ingredients into the food processor or blender, including the 3rd peach, with the pit removed, 2 garlic cloves, olive or avocado oil, white wine vinegar, salt, pepper, Dijon mustard, and coconut or Bragg aminos. Blend until creamy.
- 6. Take the flank steak, the peaches and the bacon to the grill. Place the steak on the grill. Spray the grill with non-stick spray or douse a paper towel in oil to run over the grate just prior to adding the peaches. Try not to move the peaches until they are striped well, then turn. You could also skewer the peaches if you prefer. Place the pre-cooked bacon on the grill last, reheating for just about 30-45 seconds on each side.
- 7. Remove the steak, peaches, and bacon from the grill. Thinly slice the flank steak into strips.
- 8. Arrange lettuces among 4 bowls or plates, top with onion, pecans, avocado, crumbled bacon, then grilled peaches and slices of flank steak. Top with dressing and serve.
