When you want a hearty, filling, satisfying main dish salad, a steak salad is the way to go. This easy salad recipe uses London broil that's marinated then quickly broiled. Fresh romaine lettuce, cherry tomatoes, green onions and healthy almonds add the finishing touches. Delish!
The steak is marinated in a combination of red wine vinegar, beef broth, fresh garlic, fresh lemon juice and black pepper. The steak is broiled until it reaches your definition of the perfect steak, and then allowed to rest before being sliced. Add all the salad fixings and you're ready to sit down to a delicious main dish salad.
Fun fact: Did you know that London broil is not a type of meat, but the way you cook it? London broil is typically a flank steak or top round steak that's marinated, though you will see it labeled as London broil in many grocery stores.
