Steak Greek Salad
This Steak Greek Salad has quickly become my favorite salad! The flavors of the tart but zesty dressing is a perfect pair for the easy mixed greens, red onion, feta cheese and olives. Then you must top it off with a perfectly grilled steak! We love to use the Flat Iron because it is the second most tender cut behind the filet and it is super budget friendly!
What other cuts could you use for this salad?
A sirloin would be great cut to go with this Greek salad as it is in the top 29 lean beef cuts. We love to use our Pacheco Beef Sirloins.
Where does the flat iron come from?
The flat iron is cut from the chuck.
What is the best way to cook a flat iron steak?
I love this cut because I can quickly cook it in a cast iron skillet. I also feel that this cut is best when cooked to medium rare.
Check out my Chimichurri Sauce post for more details on Flat Irons.

½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon pepper
½ teaspoon dried oregano (I also use fresh when I have it)
In a jar with a tight-fitting lid, combine all ingredients; shake well.
Salad
Mixed Greens
Red onion
Feta Cheese
Olives
Place mixed greens in bowl and toss with dressing. Then add the red onion feta cheese and Olives.
Steak
Pacheco Beef Grill Seasoning
Pacheco Beef Flat Iron
