INGREDIENT NOTES:
FLANK STEAK:
- It is full of protein and iron. Flank steak cooks in less time, and we get it from the abdominal region of the cow. Cook this steak on a moderate flame. On high flame, this stake will lose its texture. Utilize skirt steak or sirloin steak instead.
SALT:

GARLIC POWDER:
- Garlic powder provides you with a savory and sweet garlic flavor. It spreads and mixes easily with your steak and gives you enhanced flavor. Garlic powder will not burn like fresh garlic. Utilize fresh chopped garlic, but combine it properly in your steak.
BLACK PEPPER:
- Black pepper gives a warm and peppery flavor and maintains the overall flavor of your steak. Grind your pepper fresh for a better flavor. Utilize white pepper or steak seasoning instead.
OLIVE OIL:
- Olive oil gives you healthy fats, and it also helps in frying the steak. It slightly enhances the flavor of your overall salad and helps in mixing all the ingredients. Utilize avocado oil instead.
CHERRY TOMATOES:
- Use cherry tomatoes in your salad to give it a good and fresh color. You can use the small slices of tomatoes for the tangy flavor. Utilize grape tomatoes or sliced tomatoes instead. You can include a small amount of sugar in your salad to increase the taste of the tomato.
RED ONIONS:
- Onion will add a sharp and crispy flavor to your steak. It improves the flavor of your steak. Utilize shallots for a light taste.
FRESH BASIL:
- Basil gives the fragrance, savor, and tangy flavor to your steak. Fresh basil adds lightness to your salad. Utilize fresh parsley instead.
