Make

  1. Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Add cooking oil and then steak to heated oil. Sear for 3 to 6 minutes on each side (closer to 3 for medium-rare and closer to 6 for more well done meat). Remove from heat, cover in foil, and let rest for at least 10 minutes before slicing across the grain (i.e. perpendicular to the fibers).

  2. Toss dressing with kale leaves, walnuts, dried cranberries, and leftover roasted sweet potatoes. Top with sliced steak and crumbled goat cheese. Enjoy!
