perfect steak salad with grilled onions


sometimes the best weekday meal is a perfectly cooked steak, grilled onions and cherry tomatoes over a bed of mixed greens.  it's hearty and flavorful but nice and light, and it's great because rob loves it too!  as you can imagine, it's very simple to make...it literally takes about 10 minutes to put together!  plus, you can save the dressing in the fridge for a couple days.  this recipe is for two.  enjoy!


ingredients:
- bag of mixed greens
- ribeye steak (a pound or so), 1 inch thick
- 1 medium onion, cut into 1/2 inch slices
- handful of cherry tomatoes
- s&p

dressing:
- 1 small garlic clove, finely minced
- 3 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds
- 1/2 tablespoon finely minced fresh ginger, optional

directions:
- heat a frying pan over high heat with some olive oil
- season the steak with generous amounts of s&p
- cook the steak on the frying pan for 4 minutes on each side for medium to medium rare
- meanwhile, mix all the dressing ingredients with a whisk; set aside
- remove the steak from the pan and let it rest; add onions to the same pan and cook until softened
- add cherry tomatoes to the pan to warm through
- slice the steak; add on top of mixed greens with onions and tomatoes
- finish with a drizzle of the dressing and some freshly cracked pepper
