Directions

1. Grill the flank steak to your liking.  Once done cover tightly with foil and let sit for 10 minutes.
2. White the flank is sitting, mix the olive oil, salt and pepper to taste, lemon juice and Dijon mustard.  In a salad bowl, toss the arugula and dressing together. 
3. Cut the flank into thin strips.
4. On a plate place the arugula, steak and add shaved Parmesan-Reggiano on top!
5. Enjoy!

This salad is simple and elegant and has nice flavor pairings!  It is my favorite salad of the moment!  I can’t wait to eat it again soon!  I give Ina two thumbs up!

I would even recommend this salad if you are vegetarian and leave off the meat or vegan and leave off the cheese as well!

  Goes great with a nice red wine too!
