Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons white sugar
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 carrot, grated
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 1 tomato, cut into wedges
• 1 avocado - peeled, pitted, and diced
• 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
• 1 (12 ounce) rib eye steak
• 1 teaspoon Montreal steak seasoning, or to taste
• 2 pinches red pepper flakes
• 10 leaves romaine lettuce, torn into bite-size pieces
• 4 thin slices red onion
• 3 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds
• 0.5 teaspoon sesame oil
• 0.5 lemon, juiced
• 0.25 teaspoon garlic powder
• 0.5 large English cucumber, cubed

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.

Step 2

Season both sides rib-eye with soy sauce and steak seasoning. Cover and refrigerate at least 1 hour to overnight.

Step 3

Cook on the preheated grill until firm, reddish-pink, and juicy in the center, about 6 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 130 degrees F (54 degrees C). Transfer steak to a platter, sprinkle with lemon juice, and cover loosely with aluminum foil. Rest about 10 minutes, then cut into strips.

Step 4

Whisk rice wine vinegar, olive oil, sugar, sesame oil, garlic powder, and pepper flakes together in a small bowl. Combine lettuce, cucumber, avocado, tomato, carrot, red onion, and steak in a large bowl; pour dressing over salad and toss to coat. Sprinkle with sesame seeds to serve.
