  • 1/2 cup thinly sliced radish
  • 1/2 cup English cucumber, sliced into half-moons
  • 1/3 cup pumpkin seeds
  • 1/4 cup thinly sliced green onion

For the Green Goddess Dressing:

  • 1/2 cup parsley
  • 1/4 cup basil
  • 1/4 cup tarragon
  • 1/4 cup dill
  • 1/4 cup mint
  • 2 green onions
  • 1 cup whole milk Greek yogurt
  • Zest and juice of 1 lemon
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 1/2 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper (or to taste)

Instructions

  • Prepare the Steak: Remove the steak from the fridge 30–45 minutes before cooking to allow it to come to room temperature.
  • Make the Dressing: Blend all dressing ingredients in a food processor or blender until smooth. Refrigerate until ready to use.
  • Assemble the Salad: In a large bowl, toss the chopped lettuce with a few spoonfuls of the dressing. Add the olives, feta, avocado, chickpeas, radish, cucumber, pumpkin seeds, green onion, and fresh herbs.
  • Cook the Steak:
    • Pat the steak dry with paper towels, then season generously with salt and pepper.
    • Heat a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add a little avocado or olive oil.
    • Cook the steak for 4-5 minutes per side until a deep brown crust forms. Flip and cook an additional 3-5 minutes (depending on preferred doneness).
    • Remove the steak from the skillet and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing against the grain.
  • Serve: Arrange the sliced steak over the salad and drizzle with additional Green Goddess Dressing.

Notes

  • Steak Doneness Guide: 125°F (rare), 135°F (medium-rare), 145°F (medium), 155°F (medium-well), 160°F (well done).
  • Meal Prep Tip: Store salad ingredients separately from the dressing for the freshest results.
