Cranberry Balsamic Steak Salad. The salad that I will be eating on repeat for the rest of the summer! Thinly sliced steak is marinated in cranberry juice, sriracha seasoning, balsamic vinegar and it’s all sorts of tangy and spicy! Meaning the most UN-boring summer salad ever. It’s colorful, easy, delicious, and perfect for a busy weeknight dinner!

Instructions

  1. Slice up steak into thin strips. Heat a sauce pan on medium high and add the cranberries (thawed or frozen). Once they start bursting, add the water and bring to a boil. Remove from heat and allow to cool.
  2. Rub steak with sriracha rub mixture and place in a gallon bag. Pour cranberry reduction plus balsamic vinegar over top. Marinate over night (best results) or a minimum of an hour.
  3. While steak is marinating, make the dressing. Add all dressing ingredients to a blender and blend on high until oil is emulsified.
