Steak Cobb Salad
with tomatoes / avocados / sherry vinaigrette
This hearty twist on the classic Cobb salad comes together super fast - just be sure to get the steak marinating ahead of cooking time.
Smarts: Slicing the steak into cubes creates extra surface area for absorbing marinade and browning in the pan.
