Ingredients
- 2 pounds flank steak
- Sea salt and ground black pepper
- 6 cups arugula, washed
- 1 large bunch radishes (about 15), sliced very thin
- 1/4 medium red onion, sliced very thin
- 1 batch Creamy Horseradish Herb Dressing
Directions
- Heat a grill to a medium-high heat.
2. Bring the steak to room temperature. Dry off any extra moisture with a towel and sprinkle the steak with salt and pepper.
3. Place the steak on the hot grill and cook for about 3 minutes per side (for rare, longer if you don’t like it red).
4. Remove the steak from the heat and set aside to rest while you make the rest of the salad.
5. In a large salad bowl, combine the arugula, radishes, and red onion.
6. Slice the steak against the grain, very thin. Top the salad with the steak slices.
7. Dress the salad, sprinkle with a bit more salt and pepper, and serve. Notes: You can use strip steak instead of flank steak if you wish. If radishes are too peppery for you, try a hakurei turnip—you’ll be surprised at how mild the flavor is. You can also substitute your favorite lettuce for the arugula. Whole30 Challenge: Yes

This peppery salad is a spring wake-up call for your mouth. It’s simple enough for a weeknight meal, yet special enough to serve to guests. I absolutely love radishes in a salad: they provide crunch and a spicy, fresh, crisp taste that is almost a little fizzy on your tongue. If you don’t want to grill your steak outdoors, try using a cast-iron grill pan for the stovetop. I really love mine. Just remember to turn on your exhaust fan or you’ll set off all your smoke detectors and have fire trucks racing to your house (yes, this actually happened to me).
