Make

  1. Heat up a grill pan over high heat. Brush with some cooking oil. Once pan is super hot, place steak onto pan and sear on both sides for ~3 minutes. Remove from pan, cover with foil and let rest. For a more well-done steak, turn down heat and cook for a few more minutes.
  2. Slice steak into bite sized pieces.
  3. Dress oranges, shallots, and spinach with remainder of the Asian vinaigrette.
  4. Enjoy steak topped with last night’s chimichurri sauce and tomatoes, plus salad on the side.
