The Process

Start by whisking together the balsamic vinegar, olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper to make the dressing. Set aside half of the dressing for later use.

Marinate the strip steak in the remaining dressing for at least 30 minutes (or overnight for more flavor). When you’re ready to cook, preheat your oven and heat olive oil in an oven-safe skillet. Sear the marinated steak on all sides, then transfer the skillet to the oven and roast until desired doneness. Let the steak rest before slicing it into thin strips.

While the steak is resting, toss the chopped avocado with lemon juice to prevent browning. Then, arrange the mixed salad greens, cucumber, tomatoes, red onion, olives, and avocado on a serving platter. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

Finally, top the salad with the sliced steak and crumbled feta cheese. Serve immediately with the remaining balsamic dressing on the side.
