Grilled Steak Salad - cooking recipe

Ingredients

3/4 lb flank steak
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 red pepper
1/2 head red leaf lettuce
1/4 cup pecans, toasted
20 grape tomatoes
1/4 cup feta cheese
1/2 cup cucumber, cut into bite-sized pieces
2 tablespoons fresh basil, chopped
2 tablespoons of fresh mint, chopped
5 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon sugar
1 dash cinnamon (optional)
salt & pepper

Preparation

First, make a rub for the steak, using the oregano, ground cinnamon, garlic, salt, and pepper. Mix in a small amount of oil so it adheres to flank steak. Grill flank steak 5 minutes per side for rare. Cook pepper approximately 10 minutes, turning to cook evenly. Remove from grill and allow pepper and steak to sit for 5 minutes before slicing. Cut steak and pepper into strips.
While steak is cooking, prepare salad by mixing lettuce, pecans, grape tomatoes, cucumbers, feta cheese, mint and basil.
For vinaigrette, whisk together balsamic vinegar, olive oil, mustard, sugar, salt and pepper to taste, and a dash of cinnamon (if desired).
To assemble salad, arrange lettuce mixture in large bowl or on individual serving platters. Top each with equal amounts of pepper and flank steak. Drizzle with vinaigrette.
