Ingredients

1 lb beef sirloin steak, thinly sliced
2 medium avocados, diced approximately 200 g each
½ red onion, thinly sliced about 70 g
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved about 150 g
4 cups mixed salad greens about 120 g
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
½ teaspoon chili flakes
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon ground cumin
Salt and pepper to taste
¼ cup fresh cilantro, chopped 4 g
1 lime, juice of approximately 2 tablespoons, or 30 ml

Instructions

Prepare the Beef: Season the thinly sliced beef sirloin with salt, pepper, chili flakes, garlic powder, and ground cumin. Toss to coat evenly.
Cook the Beef: Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the beef in a single layer and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until browned and cooked to your desired level of doneness. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside to rest.
Assemble the Salad: In a large bowl, combine the mixed salad greens, red onion slices, cherry tomato halves, and diced avocado.
Make the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining olive oil, apple cider vinegar, and lime juice. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Toss the Salad: Pour the dressing over the salad mixture and toss gently to combine. Ensure the vegetables are well coated with the dressing.
Serve: Divide the salad mixture among four plates. Top each with an equal portion of the cooked spicy beef. Garnish with fresh cilantro.
Enjoy: Serve immediately while the beef is still warm.

Notes

For a milder version, reduce the chili flakes or omit them altogether.

If you prefer your beef to be less spicy, you can marinate it in a mixture of olive oil, lime juice, and a pinch of salt and pepper instead.

Feel free to add other keto-friendly vegetables to the salad like cucumber or bell peppers for extra crunch and flavor.
