  • Organic Jumbo White Onion 1 large, sliced $2.79 each (reg)
  • Organic Green Leaf Lettuce or Iceberg Lettuce 1 head, chopped $3.49 each (reg)
  • Fresh Organic On-the-Vine Tomatoes 1 lb, chopped $3.99/lb (reg)
  • Fresh Organic Large Ripe Avocado 2 avocados, sliced $3.50 each (reg)
  • Organic Garlic 4 cloves, minced $6.99/lb (reg)
  • Organic Ginger Root (optional) 1 tsp grated (optional for zing) $5.99/lb (reg)
  • Limes (or lemons) 2, cut into wedges
  • Olive oil 5 Tbsp, divided
  • Ground cumin 2 tsp
  • Smoked paprika or chili powder 2 tsp
  • Salt & black pepper To taste
  • Vinegar (or extra citrus) 1 Tbsp (for salad)

Instructions

  1. Marinate steak (15–60 min): Mix 3 Tbsp olive oil, garlic, cumin, paprika/chili powder, 1 1/2 tsp salt, pepper, and juice of 1 lime. Rub onto flank steak; rest at room temp while you prep veg.
  2. Heat grill: Medium-high. Clean and oil grates.
  3. Sauté veg (stove): In a large skillet over medium-high, add 1 Tbsp oil. Sauté onions 3–4 min, then add mushrooms and cook until browned, 8–10 min. Salt/pepper to taste. (Add optional ginger in last 30 seconds.)
  4. Grill steak: Grill 4–6 min per side (for medium-rare depending on thickness). Rest 10 min.
  5. Make salad: Toss lettuce + tomatoes with 1 Tbsp olive oil + vinegar (or lime) + salt/pepper. Top with avocado slices.
  6. Slice + serve: Slice steak thinly against the grain. Put steak, mushrooms/onions, and salad on platters with lime wedges for squeezing at the table.

Health notes: High-protein, veggie-forward. Keep it lighter by using less oil and serving with salad (or cauliflower rice) instead of tortillas.

Drink pairing: WA Syrah or Malbec-style red; or a citrusy IPA. Non-alc: limeade + sparkling water.
