Ingredients

10 ounce grilling steak (boneless prime rib)
½ teaspoon EACH: salt and pepper
1 teaspoon avocado oil
4 ounces arugula
1 cup cherry tomatoes (cut in half)
½ English cucumber (diced)
½ avocado (sliced)
¼ cup thinly sliced red onions
½ tablespoon EACH: grainy mustard, dijon mustard, and balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons olive oil
A pinch of salt and pepper

Steps:

Take the steak out of your fridge and evenly coat both sides with the salt and pepper. Add all the salad ingredients to a salad bowl.
Heat a cast iron or heavy-bottomed pan over high heat. Drizzle the avocado oil over both sides of the steak. When the pan starts to smoke, add the steak and let it cook undisturbed for 2 minutes. Flip the steak over and let it cook for 2-3 minutes more. Transfer the steak to a cutting board and let it rest.
While the steak is resting, whisk the salad dressing ingredients in a small bowl. Thin the dressing with up to a tablespoon of water, as needed. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss.
Thinly slice the steak across the grain and serve it over the salad.
