Steak Salad with Tzatziki Sauce topcook.tomathouse.com
Ingredients:
- 1 small flank steak (about 0.5 kg)
- 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
- 3 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil + extra for grilling
- 1 teaspoon dried mint
- 1 small clove of garlic, grated
- 1 cup bulgur
- 0.5 cups low-fat Greek yogurt
- 2 cucumbers (1 grated, 1 halved and thinly sliced into half-moons)
- 4 Campari or other small tomatoes, quartered
- 0.5 cup fresh parsley, torn
- 1 small head romaine lettuce, chopped (about 6 cups)
Preparation:
- In a medium bowl, combine vinegar, 1 tablespoon olive oil, mint, and half the garlic; season with salt and pepper. Add the steak and let marinate for 10 minutes.
- Cook the bulgur according to the package directions. Meanwhile, preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Make the tzatziki sauce. In a small bowl, combine the yogurt, grated cucumber, 1 tablespoon each of water and olive oil, and the remaining garlic; season with salt and pepper to taste. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
- Brush the grill grate with olive oil. Remove the steak from the marinade and pat dry. Grill until crisp marks appear, 6-7 minutes. Flip and continue grilling until crisp marks appear on the other side, 5-6 minutes for medium-rare. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest for 5 minutes, then slice thinly across the grain.
- Fluff the bulgur with a fork and stir in the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, chopped cucumber, tomatoes, and parsley; season with salt and pepper to taste. Divide the salad among bowls and top with the bulgur mixture, steak, and tzatziki.
